Hi Everybody!!!

I agree with Gene.

I will be mailing my registration next week too. I'm really looking to seeing everybody (young and old) at DePue.

Thank you John for making this happen!!!...

Great reading!!! Thank you everybody.

You can do it Steve....

Hey Jackie,

Fiona was not well established when she raced at St Louis, so I think it was the early part of her racing career. I know a lot of people were watching her real close - lots of jelousy...

Fiona raced at St Louis driving our (Dr. Phil Wagner) Seebold/Mercury combination. We had two rigs that ran about the same. Mercury was the driving force beheind the project and I tested the rig to...

Great picture guys!!!!

I love reading all this stuff... And, I have a comment and a question.

I was told by a very reliable source that OMC did build a good 2 liter V-6 (late '70's and had it running well enough where...

Jackie, Great idea!!! That would be fantastic...I'll get the ball rolling and get back to you soon. Of course, the organizers are old as dirt and cranky as hell, so I'll have to make it their idea. ...

Lars,

OMG...The US Mod-50's didn't go close to those speeds. But, No methanol, no nitro, no Konigs and pretty heavy rigs. How much power did you have and what kind of revs did it turn? Was the...

Jackie,

You should attend the party! In fact, we can get a golf game together with Mr. Bill and Ron Anderson the day of the party. Seeing as we would be guests of their club, we can take them on...

Jackie,

I raced with Tom Percival at Paris in 1976 and 1977 in the John Player Special and he raced on Lake Havasu and in Philadephia in Dr. Phil Wagner's boat sponsored by Colman's English...

In my opinion the statement .."there is no substitute for cubic/inch" by GG is only true if the engine has a design that encourages it to turn high RPM's and perform on the back side of the power...

Didn't we wind up down at Lake of the Ozarks? Good thing we didn't drink then...as we might have made fools of ourselves. I remember having the jet ski races, go cart races, golf tournaments and...

I'm not sure this is 1979 as I remember running T-4's in 1979. I also remember driving the JPS #10 with Tom in 1977. Or, are these T-4's? I raced in Paris from 1976 thru 1979. I thought JPS...

Hi Jackie, It's been a long time since we have talked. It's been fun reading your posts and seeing your videos. I agree 100% with your observation of what happened and what caused the demise of F-1...

This is really neat stuff.
So, the DeSilva brothers put the Delta on the bottom with a traditional runabout deck and Krier put the Delta to the deck with a traditional bottom. Did the rules in the...

Thanks for all the information. It's a shame that this was approved and then revoked after it won some races. I don't blame the DeSilva brothers for being upset. On the other hand, I think it's an...

Hi Guys,
Great Stories about Bill and Ralph DeSilva. Great guys. Does anyone have pictures of the Delta. I raced a 250CC Runabout DeSilva (12'6") Konig combination until 1975 and never heard this...

Wayne,

I remember Bobby Riggs in '75 at Winona as he wanted to challenge me to a race for $$$. The conversation was after the awards presentation. Hey, he was old and grey and played tennis with...

I thought this address belonged to a prop builder

Please wish Kyle good luck for me and will you please post his progress?

The picture is of Ron Anderson's 250 Hydro. The guys are Scooter Paulsen, Lee and Ron. The kids are Steve Sutter (4), Chris Sutter (6) and Scooters daughter.

Chris and Steve never raced boats,...

fyi -I was told that "If information is made public, it can not be protected unless some arrangements are made before bring released"

I don't know much about this as I'm not that active on this...

Drew Thompson?

Hi Guys!!!

I was involved in the the Mod-50 Hydro project. A few comments; I don't think the PRO and OPC Nationals were on the same weekend. And, I don't think OMC knew about the project. I say...
