Jackie, I really don't know for sure why more people don't post. At any given moment, there are at least 50 people viewing the web site. I don't know if people are too busy to post, not interested...
I had just won the John Ward Trophy Race for 500 CC Outboards. This is Valleyfield, Canada. I was driving Harry Bartolomei's equipment. Fred Hauenstein finished second, after breaking the Canadian...

Hi Ron:
I was referring to boat (bare) weight and in '78 OMC had Molinari against Merc's Seebolds and Veldens. OMC's Molinaris were around 400 pounds (bare boat) while...
I have been reading this thread with much interest, but felt I knew little of the facts, So I haven't "JUMPED IN". But I did ask Fred Hauenstein what he remembers:
Re: OMC 2.0 FROM Fred...
Seems Pat drove with Mike Basso the year they won the ET class a Parker. Pat said, "The Sleek handled great and would run a hundred. He said just about anyone could drive it." His complaint with...
My dad started racing in the late '30's. He had many rules but two of them were:
1. You NEVER put yourself in a position to hit the guy a head of you.
2. You NEVER pass on the inside.

Having said we've been friends forever, it is true. Randy was Jim Hauenstein's Crew Chief, when Jim died in a capsule. Randy was also, Chad's Crew Chief in the F1 season 1997.
Capsules have...
Well, after Quindazzi's and R and R Props Shop wreck this weekend, maybe capsule talks can resume. Without "BE LABORING THE POINT" but when Rod Zapf and I started COR 6-7 years ago we only...

Where would you start? I don't see anyone standing around wanting to buy a $30,000 tunnel boat. Driver that drive MOD VP bottoms pull off some amazing things when they are driving. The Center Pod...
Jackie, the KT class started like many new classes. One person believed in the concept and others joined in. Bill Cooper first talked Carl into putting a small block in a Molinari. Bill raced it...
In 1955 or '56, Elgin Gates helped promote a Pan American race in San Diego. There weren't many Mexican entries, so Americans "TEAMED" with the Mexicans. My partner was having engine trouble and...
Does anyone actually have a list of those who died driving V-8 OMC's?

I left S and F a few years back when they tried to tell me Mercury guaranteed their race props. Have not been back since.
Anyway, Jackie speaks pretty well for an Englishman.

I went to George May's 90th birthday party last weekend, May 14, 2011. I saw Brett May there but we never really got time to talk.
Thanks for correcting me on the Cosworth Story, not sure where I...
Karon May sent me this picture of Jackie and Brett at Parker, 1979, I think. They finished like third or fourth. But, the Cosworth people servicing the motor must have thought they were on Holiday...
Seems Pruitt had a sense of humor...as I've heard many a story about the Mullett Billy Don Pruitt.....
Here's an article where Mark Wilson was racing, Trailer Boats Magazine, 1981...
As I RECALL, the Cosworth ran all day and was not disqualified at all. It placed about 7th. I called Karon May today and asked her to get a hold of Brett, as I told her on her voicemail...we wanted...
I don't have time, right now, working to props like crazy, and tomorrow working on the web page problems...
But, Jimbo and I talked to Karon May, Brett's sister, Sunday...and we promised to get...
Ask Jackie, if he drove the Cosworth powered Mercruiser, at the Parker Nine Hour, about 1979, with Brett May as a Co-Driver...
And If he did, I want to see some pictures and also I have have a...
