I might be a Johnny Come Lately on this. Didn't see it anywhere on the forum. It's posted on youtube by ReelNostalgia.

Your collection is definitely more comprehensive than the one we discussed in 2008:

Thanks for digging that thread up Acres Per Second. It's very interesting to read everyone's take. There's a post on there that has a link to a 2004 thread by Rattlesnake Gal. So, I guess I'm not 5 years late, I'm 9 years late

Hey, Acres, I was wondering what your screen name stood for. Is it something to do with speed? Maybe a speedboat? The loss of rainforest?

You're welcome.

I "surf" old Winnipesaukee threads regularly—sometimes visiting the "Who's On-Line" forum for what's intriguing the forum's "Guests".

'Very perceptive of you.

The shrinking of our rainforests was brought to my attention decades ago through The Nature Conservancy. I borrowed that term for a concept of motion that would be applied to shrinking of our inland waterways.

→ But I haven't been asked about my user-name for years and years, and look what I just e-mailed our Webmaster Wednesday. (Your inquiry is from Thursday).

What timing!

The "Postmaster" returned my e-mail as undeliverable, but still!

I didn't receive your email but I've changed your forum name to ApS. You'll need to use that name when logging in.

Thank you for the film clips of racing. If you are interested in a detailed write-up of racing in 1929, the link will take you to an article I wrote a few years back. I used old newspaper articles and interviews as the base of my research.

My interest stems from being on the lake for almost 50 years starting when I was a very young boy. I remember Nat Goodhue, Jimmy Irwin and others who were involved in the racing back when they were younger boys.

Thanks Mark, That was some fantastic reading very well done you took me back to 30 years before I was born and I felt like I was there with them.

The way things - were than - is why they were how we found it a few decades later.

I could sorta read between the lines and get a good feel for the times and locations the people that created the lakes region that we came to love as we grew up.

Not to mention the pending doom that was coming in the fall of 1929.

Again great job and thank you so much.
