My first visits to that launch were in the 60's, they had the pits and starting line for the slough races there. They started there and raced up river to a certain point, then back down. From every class of small outboard to Indian type racing canoes, and a "run what ya brung" class, it was a great time.

Can you imagine 10 or so small hydros in each group racing up river, it sounded like a swarm of very loud and angry mosquitoes.

One friend had a brick dropped from a bridge go through the front deck of his hydro.
