1967 | James H Yost

Yost began as a Stock Outboard driver in 1953. His greatest contribution to the sport, however, has been in countless official capacities, starting as a regional director in 1954.

From there he advanced to Region Chairman, Deputy Commissioner, Stock Outboard Commissioner and Vice President, APBA Senior VP and President, and Outboard Pleasure Craft Vice President.

He was instrumental in the creation of OPC, as well as promotion of better safety equipment and compulsory insurance for drivers.
