Each gave informative and entertaining talks.
The car (David's) is a circa 1947 Alfa Romero. This an all out race car, raced in the LeMan's 24 hour race. It is one of two still in existence. The restoration is beautiful.
The hydroplane is the Miss Bardahl, winner of National Championship in 1963, 1964 and 1965. Dixon headed up the team restoring it to it's glory days. The boat has been and will be run in exhibition races. Dixon and David earned college tuition and spending money crewing on this boat. Truly a labor of love. Dixon is still quite active in the unlimited racing as a consultant to race teams. His son, Ryan, is continuing the family tradition.
