I first met Rick in the late 70's when we both raced Drag Boats, yes he drove back then in Hyd. Comp. He later went to T/F Hydro with Jimmy Wright doing the driving. Was world champ a couple of yrs. We lost Jimmy in a crash at Litchfield, Ill. I think 1981 and Rick dropped out of the boat scene. Next thing I knew I saw City Chevrolet on the side of a NASCAR.
Back when we raced and I knew him he was a real nice guy, he just had LOTS more $$$ then me. LOL

That's how I remember him too!
A few years back I saw some old photo's with Rick in the seat of a boat.....looked like a River Racer Hydro, LOL! Kinda cool.
Not to change the subject.....
I use to have a early 80's Cole Fuel Hydro for a few years. Burnt into the Gel Coat on the transom was some lettering that was removed that displayed Jimmy Wright's name on it....do you remember seeing him in a Cole Fuel Boat back in the day?

Rick's boat was yellow, named ( Little Lemon ) if I remember correct. His Fuel boat was red named ( Nitro Fever ) don't remember what the brand of hull was.
