Do you have a photo? My guess is that it's probably from the air races? I dont think there were any hydro races in Reno?

1967 - Sept 21-24, National Championship Air Races, Reno
Unlimited = 1. Darryl Greenamyer, F8F-2 Smirnoff (v: 392.621). 2. Ed Weiner, P-51D Hi Time II (v: 373.712). 3. Clay Lacy, P-51D Cal Airmotive (v: 363.207). 4. Charles Hall, P-51D Miss Martha II (v: 363.071). 5. Mike Loening, P-51D Traveler (v: 359.866).
