1958-59 Stockton Boat Racing

April 18, 2022 April 18, 2022

George Little attended the Stockton, CA boat races in 1958 & 1959 and photographed some dandy pics. George passed away some years ago, but his son Robert decided to have some of them digitized and he had a couple of them posted in the ACBS newsletter. I thought they were really neat and asked the ACBS director to contact Robert and asked if he could send them to us to make a web page on in our Visitor’s Photo Albums section. I asked Bob Silva (our west coast author/historian of APBA’s “From the Vintage Notebook” news articles) to research / write the photo captions.
I think you will enjoy this one folks. Some great boat racing photographs, a neat boat race course / setting and some neat info and stories to read through as you look at the photographs.

K. Bingham used to race hydroplanes. He lived on N. Gilchrist Avenue off of Waterloo Rd. I met him in 1965. I know he would sometimes go to Clear Lake to race. He was a famed truck mechanic. He had at least 4 boats.
