Website Update Request Roger Hinsdale Collection
Hello Paul,
I received a request from Tim Kurcz to correct a typo I did when entering my Collection information on your website. I credited my 444 (44 cu.in. 4-carb) motor to "Lee" Kurcz and that should have read TIM Kurcz.
We do have 444 #2 running but won't be able to complete it's tuning until Spring due to travel etc...
Please make the name correction at your convenience.
Regards,
Roger Hinsdale (TN)

Photos from the AOMCI meet at Lake Shipp
We attended the Antique Outboard Motor Club meet at Lake Shipp, FL, yesterday and took 50 photos. Lots of great outboard collections and, since this was a wet meet, some of the boats took to the water and put on quite a show.
Here's a sample of the photos from this event. To see the rest, please go to www.QuincyLooperRacing.us and click on the 'Collections' button. You'll see the 2009 Lake Shipp link at the bottom of the Collections page.
Enjoy.

What's new at the Quincy site.
Hi Everyone,
For those of you that are interested, we now have 50 photos from the Tavares, FL boat show loaded to the Tavares 2010 page under Collections at the Quincy Looper web site, www.QuincyLooperRacing.us .
Also under collections, we've added several new additions to the Bob Dunlap collection and under a FL Collection. Under the FL collection, there's a rare motor the owner calls a YamaRude. Check it out.
A good friend emailed us photos taken at the 1980 Pro Nationals. We hope to get those up very soon.
Enjoy.

hope you find the two pages
As I mentioned previously on this site to you Karen, (don't remember the thread) I used to stop in McComb in the 80's on trips either to Harry Zak's or back, and have a beer or two (or 3 or 4) with Bill. I always looked forward to those trips, both to see Harry and watch him work his magic with machinery, and also Bill. He and I had several mutual interests, race boats/outboard race engines and airplanes among them, and we had some good times and conversations about both. I also visited Hanger 7 several times and had the pleasure of seeing what he was working on. I wish more of those projects had come to fruition.
I hope you are able to get those other pages posted. We do not have that much history about our sport in a written form, in fact almost none until the "internet age" and web sites like BRF. I hope more will contribute their memories and photos/videos while they are still available.
Thanks for your contributions.
