As you can see from the photo, my dad has had a long career as an outboard racing boat driver! I have some fun memories too of those days as a very young man. The video was taken late yesterday as a thunderstorm passed by to my west, just missing my area but it did cause flooding north of Las Vegas. A high of just 103 degrees is on for today, a good bit cooler than recent days.
I’ve never heard of outboard racing before. How wild.
Wow – your dad is/was a daredevil!
Thanks, that’s a great description! The other racers were bummed out knowing that dad was at a race. 😂
This is totaly new for me.. your dad was a real champion ! I hope he never had an accident, hydro plane racing is quite a dangerous sport. I think you will be happy with the lower temperatures, let’s hope that the flooding in the north was not so dramatic.
Thank you, Rudi! He is indeed. He is 95 years young now. I added a photo to this post that I forgot to add, you may want to see it.
