Freckle-faced, 23-year-old Don Wilson, Dearborn, Michigan, when teamed
with Bill Ritner’s 266 cubic inch hydro Wa-Wa-Too makes up a really
hot combination. Wilson is shown.in photo as he received the Miami Jaycee's
Past Presidents Trophy for his win at the Biscayne Bay Regatta, January
29. Later he dominated the large hydro class during the two-day St. Petersburg
Southland Regatta on Lake Maggiore, on February 13, by taking the first
heat of 266s, missing the second heat when a new battery went on the blink,
and then winning the coveted Southland Sweepstakes Trophy, over a 10-mile
course, in a surprisingly easy triumph over some very tough competition.
