Video with Wing- Parker 1975 Pre-race testing
Dear Members- In the video Parker 1975 Pre-race Testing,there is some footage of Bobby Massey's # 140 dual Mercury Wing up & running plus in the pits. We at GoSee.TV/boatracing are currently in production of videos of Havasu 1969-'70;'71 where you will see lots of wings, including De Silvas hauling the mail! We need your help if anyone out there has any audio of stackers on VHS- Beta, etc. to help us with authentic sound for videos. Thanks Mark Benson- Producer E-mail mrbenson55@gmail.com
Can't We Get An E-Mail to Bobby???
I've been reading here....I talk to Rick now and then...In fact I found him one of his wings...BUT Sam Cullis AIN'T never been one to say something without facts to back it up...
In the EARLY days....Mercury tested and tested and Carl spent money with Switzer. Part of the reason Carl "LOST" Mercury was spending "TOO MUCH" on R and D and racing...As far as 18 footers....I know OMC tried like hell to replace the T40 that Bobby Massey had and that is why they ended up "BORROWING" Ernie's 69 boat for Parker...
The Switzers were talking a new boat then, but the new boat didn't come out until about 1970...
Kitson, Mertens, Schoonover....Ernie...I'd be inclined to think less that 20 were 18 foot glass winges built..
