This is a terrific idea. As you know, I'm not a modeler, much less an R/C guy, but I never miss any of the shows of these magnificent scale hydroplanes. They are works of art and offer a comprehensive look at many of the Thunderboats…"

Mark A Baldwin said… I like what you are doing with the vintage hydroplane exibitions this season.
This is a great tool for young and old to learn about the sport from years pasts.
I was at the lake today and it was a great site to see and hear the great boats from the past run. If I could be any assistance on saturday or sunday in the pits it would be my honor.
Pipe dream to drive.Just throwing it out there.I would be honored just to be with the action.
Sincerely
