Do you know the name Jack Regas?
I worked with him at Kaiser wire and cable plant, Oakland CA in the late 60's.
This was when he went back into racing after his big accident.
A fun loving cheerful guy. Loved life and couldn't wait to get back into the speedboat game.

Just looked him up and he passed away this year in Jan at 94.
