The newspaper article covered Rex Hall's world record set at Winona, MN. Rex set a new record in a 1100 cc hydro at that event. According to Tom Berry, another racer who sent us this article, "Rex was driving Bill Van's Rhodes Hydro. Bill had failed to qualify due to a faulty kill switch so they decided to put Rex's motor on Bill's newer, lighter boat. Rex then went out and set the competition record."

Rex Hall was the 1975 Kansas-Missouri High Point Champion in APBA and the National High Point Champion in AOF (American Outboard Federation) for 1975.
