Very interesting. A little bit disconnected at times, but a very good comment on the races. Like all your posts

Thought you might like to make a comment on this photo Lars. Again 1978 OE World Championships at Dayton, Ohio.

1978 UIM OE World Championships Dayton, Ohio. This is a different heat with Renato yawning and getting ready to race. The only reason I was taking pictures is because the first three heats were so...

Here's one for you Lars. Molinari at the 1978 UIM OE World Championships at Dayton, Ohio.

I was looking at him earlier Lars, after you first posted the picture and he seemed familiar to me, and I thought I knew him, but I didn't scrutinize the picture too closely. Now I'm going to take a...

Thanks for the photos and your memories. Very good. Keep them coming.

Maybe it's just me, but I cannot remember seeing such a smile as in the last two photos. Grandkids will do it every time.

Fascinating inside tales and thoughts Lake X Kid. You are right about Bob, and probably nailed the reason.

Ha Ha Lars. When I saw that picture I knew exactly what you were going to say. And it just occurred to me why I didn't have a picture of you in 1977 when you came to Dieter's factory.

My first...

I deleted it Lars. I thought four identical pictures in a row was not good. So I am going to try again this morning. I knew you would like this picture of Molinari. Kind of a rare angle I think.

53075530755307553075I really like this thread Lars. You keep posting photos, stories, articles, and things many have never seen. Just like your Super Swede thread, you are putting out some very...

I didn't know Roger, I only took some pictures of him at a race in Berlin because I knew who he was. We talked, and he was very friendly. You can tell him that I can e mail him some other pictures...

Lars....Paul did get methanol banned, but for one race only. It was apparently not enforced anywhere else, but we did have to collect fuel samples during the 1978 OE UIM World Championships. Since...

Steve...I don't know if you remember this, but 1978 was the year the U.S.A. was awarded the OE World Championships and UIM immediately , without regard to their own rules of a two year moratorium,...

52596Some good stuff. Here's one I bet you haven't seen Lars. It's from the December 1965 issue of Boating News. It was the first time I ever heard the name Molinari. When I first started racing...

That's the other boat Lars. Barry Woods, or (Molinari driving) most likely at Parker. My memory is failing me. When I first thought of 35, Bob Witt came into my head and I thought.....no...that...

Still have a lot of looking to go Lars, but this is what I found so far. In 1978 Molinari was driving a Saffa Molinari with a black bow in the 6 Hours of Paris and his co driver was Tommy Posey. So...

197 is Tommy Posey's number. I didn't remember him in a Saffa boat. Tommy and Johnny Sanders both drove for Alan Yaw's Abilene Marine. I'll go look at some old copies of Powerboat and P&W to see...
