Ole Bardahl... The Man Behind the Miss Bardahl

There never would have been a green dragon or a checkerboard comet if it hadn't been for this man. When he stepped down from racing in 1968 he was the winningest owner of all time in the sport with the most wins , 6 national championships and 5 gold cup victories. He was just "Gramp" to me....Here he is accepting another first place trophy from Miss Aquaweek! Photo is from the Bardahl racing archives.
