In tunnel boat racing in the 1990's, Buck Thornton was an excellent racer. Bill Seebold and Buck were the old guys and they were probably the best racers out there.

Buck was from Louisiana and was always classy and clean. You would never see him without his hat and team colors.  Both he and his crew were always well dressed.

He gave the Seebolds some good competition and was fun to be around. He passed away a few years ago. We miss him and what he brought to the sport of tunnel boat racing.

Enjoy a few photos of Buck from the 1990 St. Louis Grand Prix.
