Classic times

Found this old hydro site by chance and it mentions my folk's old pal the Boyances from L.I., "Mr Neon", in his 3 point hydro. Check out the pic of the 48 Buick ragtop w/hydro in tow.

In the early 70's they used to hold the "Orange Bowl Regatta" in the Miami Marine Stadium. Hydro's from all over the country would go there and race, all classes. I used to LOVE to watch the "Thunder Boats" run around that place.

Check out the DVD "Madison". Lots of vintage race scenes.
