New to the site with regards to posting, long time watchman.
Have just stumbled in to another project boat, a 59 - 60 (?) Biesemeyer 4 Point Hydro that I think I’d like to build, perhaps as a (close counts) clone of the “Wrangler” APBA 1962 1/4 mile record holder.
I have gathered most of the scant information out there I believe and so I am hoping that RDP may be a further source of particulars. Seems most of the original folks involved in production or racing one of these hulls are no longer with us, so I’m hoping there are still photos and information with family or friends that I might access.
I’d like to throw a few ? out there to see if anyone has something, if even just an opinion.
Anyone have a guess as to how many 4 Points were built, all in ‘59 - ‘60 as near as I can see.
Anyone familiar with the “Wrangler” and it’s racing history with Jacque Pettijohn driving, Tony Bedims hull and motor builder? Photos?
Anything you have....and I mean anything......will be greatly appreciated..
Thnx
