1999 | Clif Fabre

Clif Fabre

Fabre lived in Region 9's Baton Rouge, LA all his life, working in a family owned engine shop.

In the early 1960s a friend bought an old 266 hydro hull, Fabre supplied an engine for it, and so began his involvement with APBA Inboard Racing. For years he helped many people set world records and win championships.

He served as Baton Rouge Boat Club board member and Commodore, Region 9 Chairman, and referee and inspector at many championship events. On the Inboard Racing Commission he chaired many technical committees. In 1978, he hosted the 75th APBA Annual Meeting, with his wife Margie and local clubs.

In 1981, he was elected Inboard Vice President, and as Chairman in 1994 and in 1996, and served on the APBA Board of Directors in 1996-97. In 1992 Fabre received the Bob Ballinger Meritorious Service Award; in 1998, the Inboard Exceptional Service Award.

During his years as Inboard Chairman, many beneficial new programs were initiated. Clif Fabre is always available whenever APBA or Inboard Racing needs him.
