The Boat Drags

The "boat-drags" were always part of my life (and the "Lobster's") having lived only a few blocks from the famed "Marine Stadium." The "Lobster" and I never once paid to gain entrance in the 25-years or so years that we attended the boat drags, with the final Coors' Nationials being staged in August of '76. Between Lake Ming (Bakersfield, CA) and the Marine Stadium we saw history being made in the sport of boat racing on the "Liquid Quarter-Mile!"

Greetings

On my new website I introduce myself and write of various insights involving my family, friends, home, hobbies, automobiles, sporting interests, pets, music, etc., as well as my likes & dislikes, i.e., books, movies, foods and anything else I can think of in an attempt to let you know just what this "Odd Duck" (aka: Degar) is all about! Ultimately, I want you to feel like an old friend and that we are merely 'shooting the breeze' about days gone by. Can you dig it?
