I have showed these photos before of Tim Seebold doing a crazy flip in his tunnel boat, but they are worth seeing again! Tim was fine and won a race the next day.

This was the 1991 St. Louis Bud Lite Grand Prix on a section of the Merrimac River. In those days, this was the Indy 500 of boat racing in St. Louis.

Good to see F1 boats running again and on television with Tim Seebold as an announcer doing a great job.

Check out Tim and a few photos of St. Louis in 1991, just a few years ago!

The photographer running in the last frame was a Mercury racing photographer friend and was fine. No one got hurt in this incident thankfully.

Thanks,

The next few weeks of blogs will make my boat racing friends happy!

This week, we feature the Seebold family racing at the St. Louis Grand Prix in 1990 and 1991. Bill Seebold along with his sons, Mike and Tim, are comparable to the Andretti family in Indy cars.

They live in the St. Louis area and the St. Louis Grand Prix is their home race.

In boat racing, the St. Louis Grand Prix is equal to the Indy 500 or the big Daytona 500 race for NASCAR.

Bud Light was the main sponsor for many years of the St. Louis Grand Prix. Budweiser's home is St. Louis and this race is BIG. It is known worldwide with racers coming from all over the globe.

So, enjoy a few photos of the Seebold family racing in St. Louis in 1990 and 1991. The next few weeks will feature other boat racing teams and other boat races.

Thanks,

Rich Zimmermann
