All these neat pics were recently sent to me from Dallas Kremer’s family. They also sent me some trophies and a really neat Moonshine Baby team jacket from back in the day. I can’t thank the family enough. Above is some of the info/pics of Dallas Kremer’s Moonshine Baby E-54, 280 cu in class hydro. This was the hydro he raced just before Dal and Jim Moore he built the 7-Litre Moonshine Baby H-54 (your webmaster’s hydro) in 1960-61. E-54 is a beauty of a Rich Hallett hydro IMO. Dal built a totally enclosed cockpit for this 280 hydro and took it to Florida to run the grapefruit races down there in the winter of 1959. Dal was 40 years ahead of his time with that idea aerodynamically. All these pics above and more added to the Moonshine Bay E-54 web page.
I also received some pics of A-54 Moonshine Baby that he capaigned prior to the E-54 and will post pics/info when time permits.

Dotty Mack had her own show on WCPO-TV airing out of Cincinnati in the early 1950s.
She was the featured dignitary at the 1956, 225 cu in National Championship races held on the Ohio River in Melbourne, Kentucky.
Pretty neat how the women folks in the boat racing clubs joined together to support the guys and the club events.

Vintage hydroplanes return to Entiat and the Columbia River

ENTIAT — Vintage hydroplanes lined the Entiat City Park parking lot, each customized and tailored to an owner’s or driver’s preference. One by one, a crane lifted them high into the air and gently set them onto the water, similar to a toddler playing with a toy. 
Late in the morning Saturday, when the competition got underway, the boats announced their presence with their roaring engines as spectators watched from boats on the Columbia River, and the shoreline or the nearby sandbar, with a sense of excitement in the air.

Hydroplane races date back to the early 20th century and, over the weekend, returned to the Columbia River. Around 24 boats took place in the weekend races, each participating in two heats a day.
