A Rare Photo of Mac Bale piloting Conquest, which seems to be running on seven cylenders. He took Top Time and Low E.T. at the Perris Nationals 1968. It was Mac's first dragboat racing experience. When the other boat needed a restart, it was decided not to give Conquest the single run for top honors. Instead of waiting for his tow boat, Mac drove back to the pits. Dwight's 392 Hemi heated up; blew a blower belt; and Mac lost the last round -- or he would have been National Champian on his rookie outing. As Bale might say, "Would a, could a, should a; if wishes were fishes, I'd fill up an ocean." I guess that's just dragboat racing.
