From FB today...John Sherlock's photo.
John..I know the driver of the #8 Burgess/Aspen/Evinrude V8..;)
Remember this race in Pittsburgh 1983 very well.
Qualified third and had a big fight in the race with Buck Thorton.
He was racing a Johnson V8
Buck lost the bottom of the boat and sank with only a few laps left.
I think we raced 50 minutes, but needed fuel for 1.5 hours.
Yellow flags etc..
Molinari won in his Molinari/Martini/Evinrude V8
A great race..but as always in Pittsburgh..very rough conditions.
PS.
Look at all the spectators..over 300,000 was there to see the race...Well..Three Rivers Regatta

When I congratulated John on his induction into the APBA Honor Squadron last week I told him that he had inspired me to clean up my darkroom so I could file old posts and find what I was looking for. I told John then that I had found some stuff from a 1973 Italian book with compilations of all kinds of history. As I looked through it I found John, Ron Hill, you and others and I told John I was going to find some time to post the entries in the appropriate threads. It is all Italian, but I thing most everyone will know that it is all about. It was just some of the history I saved and wanted to share it. Look for it soon.
