September 19, 2009
The
Results Are In !
A quick recap of the 2009 GLEN COVE
POWERBOAT POKER RUN Event and Awards Party...
Inducted into the NPBA HALL OF FAME was George Linder,
"The" famous boat designer and builder of Shadow, Chris Cats, and
Conquest; just to name a few of his accomplishments that were used by the
Lavin's "Jesse James Racing Team" and D'Elia's "Special Edition
Racing Team". George started racing at NPBA's Gateway Powerboat Regatta in
the late 70's...against me in Class A. CONGRATULATIONS George!
Also inducted into the
prestigious NPBA
HALL OF FAME was
Stu Hayim, "RECOVERY", who also started his racing career at
the Gateway Powerboat Regatta in Greenwich Conn, but it was in August of
1985. He went on to win every offshore WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP TITLE and still holds
the record for circumnavigating Long Island in just 3 hours and 7 minutes in a
32 Skater powered by twin 650 hp Eickert engines. His sons were present
to receive the award and brought along a Maserati and a Ferrari "California" to promote their
Ferrari of Long Island and Ferrari of Fort
Lauderdale dealerships. A CLASS ACT! They were also
the Major Sponsor of this event...THANK YOU and CONGRATULATIONS Stu!
