Lets see if this first one works, then I have more that I have scanned.
Jimbo at Beloit. Molinari hull with what looks like the newer CCC engine.
Miami, but not certain of the year. Was either '71 or'72. I believe this was the first race for the new Ted Morgan Twister engine. Pretty sure boat 199 is Bill Petty. Other boat in that pic looks like a Zonker Craft.
Bob Herring, must be '70 or '71. Probably a Twister 1. Looking at the background, could be Havasu or Parker.
Renato Molinari. Again must be pre '72 and a Twister 1 engine.
Tim and Geoff Briggs, Parker race '74 I believe. Too bad this pic is black and white. That stars and stipes Scotti Craft with the Super Strangler was really pretty I bet.
Last pic for tonight. Early press release of OMC's V-8. Notice how small the lettering is on the Johnson engine.
In the first pic Jimbo is driving what looks like one of the first pickle fork Scotti Crafts. The boat that Posey (197) is in looks to be the same Scotti that they had been running V-4's on the year before.
Also, any ideas on what brand of boat Bill Petty is in (199). Has the look of a Twister craft but most of those boats that I have seen are lower profile hull that this.
