Rich ran in the 136ci, 150ci and 2.5L Mod Class (all the same class just xhanged names through yhe years).
He stopped driving in 1972 but owned and campaigned a Limited Inboard Hydroplane till 1989 when his 1950 Lauterbach Powered by a 1937 V8-60 took a 3rd place in Trention MI.
Was the last time Rich had a boat in competition and was also the LAST Flathead Powered Hydroplane to place in the APBA.
His personal Vintage Hydroplane "Flying Debris" is still under restoration. His youngest will be building the .100" over 16 Mushroom Methanol fueled V860 for it.
