1967 | William L Tenney
Tenney raced Outboards extensively starting in 1927, but without major success prior to World War II. In 1953 he set three competition records in B Hydro, C Hydro & C Racing Runabout in a single regatta at Lakeland FL; and set three mile straightaway records in three classes in one day at McKeesport PA.
In 1954 he won national championships in the above three classes at Pasco WA. In 1953 Tenney was the first Outboard driver to top a mile-a-minute in competition and held the C Hydro competition record from 1952 until after he retired as a driver in 1958.
