Friend of a friend, Phil, said he heard that I use to have a boat or go to Parker or something like that so he asked if I'd like to see a few of his photo albums from when he use to go to Parker and Havasu.
Duh.
I have to apologize up front for the fuzziness of the pictures. The albums haven't seen the light of day for 40-5 years and the pictures were stuck to the pages and on some pages the clear cover sheet was stuck to the pictures. Not wanting to damage them I shot each through the sheeting, the album pages were too big to fit on my scanner, so my focus was focked up a little. There are a few more albums for me to see but the exciting part is Phil has over 2000 slides of the boat drags and circle races from the '60s on that he wants me to look at too.
This first batch are of Rich Siroonian's hydro. Rich as some of you know drove his uncles, Big John Mazmanian, gassers and funny cars back in the day. He passed in '13.
I don't know what kind of hull it is, or the flattie the background, but it's pretty bad ass. I'll post up the Patterson and Campbell tonight.
