I don't do enough on power boat racing. It was quite popular in the Greater Vancouver area from the 1930s to the mid-1970s. Probably the logistics of holding races have curtailed the sport. In years gone by races were held at Harrison Lake, Hatzic Lake, Alouette Lake, Cultus Lake and the Pitt and Fraser Rivers. Even off Semiahmoo Beach in White Rock and English Bay in Vancouver. No doubt many other places as well.
Bill Allan was solid performer on the water winning a few American Power Boat Association championships in the various classes he ran in. Unfortunately he passed away a couple years ago.
