Here is my latest rc model of the Miss
Bardahl U-40 that has just been completed and ready to try on the water.
The 26cc gas motor is supposed to take
it close to the 60 mph mark.
1966 Miss Bardahl
My involvment started in the late 1950's
racing 5 hp J class runabout up through an occasional race in my dad's
D Stock hydro.
My dad and Ron Musson started racing together
in the late 1950's. A 10-hp Mercury hurricane and a Sid Craft boat were
their lake racers. In the early 1960's, they both co-owned for a short
period of time, Chromium and Chromate (a 135 and 266), one
or both of which were US-1's. As the story goes, I think I recall that
one of those boats may have been a Wa Wa. I would sure love to know.
Also, I would love to know if the Wa Wa I have in my posession is
indeed a scale Wa Wa or was it a forerunner to my Dad's inboards.
I have tried to make contact about the
hull, but to no avail.
This is a scratch built scale Lauterbach
that should be in a museum somewhere, if not the lobby of the Lauterbach
factory.
