Does anyone know of a source for CSR historical records for the 1979-1981 timeframe or where to look to find them?

I have a Schiada 21RC that per Lee at Schiada was built to race the CSR that year.

I was contacted last year on Facebook by the son of the second owner of the boat who indicated the boat and skier won its class in '79 and '80 but he didn't have a lot of specifics as he was pretty young at the time. I am looking for info on the race to help build a picture of the history of the boat, any help is much appreciated.

Thanks Barry, that was my hunch but I thought I would give it a shot.

I can help if you can tell me the driver, skier, observer or class. Don't have boat names

Wow, that would be great. I appreciate any help you can give me.

I am guessing the class would have been one of the Day Cruiser classes. Looking at the link Barry sent above I see either Stock Day Cruiser or Open Day Cruiser. Were there other Day Cruiser classes?

Here are the names that I have, not sure which role they played:

Original owner: Bob Hans (spelling may be wrong)
Second owner: Jim Pfeifer

I wish I had more to give you, but so far thats all I have.

Thank you

would have been Stock Day Cruiser in the 80's. Open Day Cruiser is a new class.

Let me check...

Looks like the winner of stock day cruiser in 1980 was Mark Moran - Skier, Frank Gibson - Driver, Bob Tanklege OB. I can tell you it wasn't 1979.

Hope this helps.

@work2ski thanks for digging that up. Those aren't names I have in my notes, so maybe the story about winning the race was a bit inflated.

Thanks again.
