The 7th pic is either the Black River "Owls" or the Dexter "Ramblers". I know that Black River was running that C truck in 96/97. The New Bremen "Blue Birds" were not at the 1983 state drill @ Watertown, check the results on www.fdarchive.com. The 3rd pic is indeed the Louisville "Turtles". the 9th pic is the "Rough Riders". Elmonts and Islips C's were built by the same guy,Dennis High tune. |

I just acquired a copy of the 83 State Drill at Watertown from C-Ladder to Pump. From watching this drill, I can see why the State in 89 at the same track was canceled due to track conditions. The C trucks were all over the place coming in to the hydrant (some of them went edge to edge), there was a massive amount of dust on the course, no guard rails and it had the worst splatter ladder that I have ever seen (Teddy's Boys in C ladder). Does anyone remember this drill? I'm sure that there are some good stories out there about this drill. Historian? F-Man? Daytona Dave? Anyone?

WATERTOWN 1983 WAS A LONG DAY!!! I THINK IT ENDED AROUND 1:30 AM. BECAUSE OF THE WATER C HOSE WAS RUN TWICE. ON THEIR 2ND RUN THE HOBOES CLIPPED THE ARCH WHICH RESULTED IN ANOTHER DELAY.

I do remember the C Hose re-run and CI clip of the hydrant......
Watertown was a good spot for a drill if it was only wider and safer for the surrounding crowd......
And thats all that the trucks ran were duster runs!

I recently saw footage of the Teddys Boys camp after that run. One guys face was blown up and his eyes were swelled shut. I recall members picking up teeth at the arch.
