1978 | George W Byers JR

George W Byers JR

Byers started racing Outboards in 1940 and won National awards. From 1954 to 1962, as owner-driver, he dominated the 7-Litre Inboard hydroplane class, winning five Nationals and establishing numerous World Records.

After a severe injury in 1962, he devoted his skills to the Unlimited class, first as the Drivers' Representative and, from 1970 on, serving capably as Unlimited Vice President. He made outstanding contributions not only to the growth of that class but to the entire sport of power boat racing.
