I don't recall you being third over all. That was the year the steering wheel broke???
I wonder if anyone knows for sure.
Lars??? What do you know about MS on Renato's boat?
Facebook is a big place??
Oh, found it: https://www.facebook.com/john.sheldon.73?fref=ts
Lars I just read you have become Evinrude's Ambassador. WOW!!! You offered yourself to APBA and they never answered. Maybe BRP will bring outboard racing back to the level it once was.
I was...
DAH did some good prop work. I personally ran Records and Mercury props, usually. Jimbo had his own prop man. Renato used Rolla. Scotti won Havasu with Rolla props.
The way Molinari boats were built, I find it hard to believe there were really ever two the same. Almost the same, but different.
A Molinari and a Stradivarius Violin have much in common. Did Molinari ever build a composite outboard boat???? Glastron/Molinari's were fiberglass. What I think would be WAY COOL is a 21 foot...
I was supposed to go to The Six Hours of Paris, 1973, but ended up staying home and my daughter was born on the day of the race, 1973. I have not been back to Paris since 1972.The first year I raced...
Every thing you post Jackie, might be "RAMBLING" but I read ever word several times.
I always remember the "IT STOPS" at the Parker 9 Hour....You "COSWORTH" guys had "TEA" while the crew fueled...
OMC had a 16 foot Levi that they raced a single engine one at Long Beach in June 1970. By then, it was clear the VEE HULL was to going to stay with the tunnels. So, OMC left the boat behind and I...
Everyone seems to have great pictures of Molinari, Scotti, Rassini and others. No one seems to have pictures of Carlo Rassini's daughter. She was a "STONE FOX"....totally beautiful!
Great...
This looks like our Molinari....
Brad Miller bought a Molinari that we were told, later, was a boat that Bob Hering "STUFFED" in Paris, 1977. Does anyone know if Bobby Hering "STUFFED" in Paris also? I'm think the boat we bought...
I really don't recall where I saw it, but it was around 1970, and it had a Mark 55-H on it, and the hydro said Molinari on a metal name tag. I almost remember it as a "Lay Down" small hydro. I race...
Ann Strang sponsored Jerry Waldman and Bobby Hering for years, in kneel down hydros. Jerry was the "STAR" and Bobby was the "Back Up". Waldman and Hering were the "TEAM".
When Bob started...
Molinari Boats were more like stradivarius violins. Americans build boat like "Brick **** Houses" , Americans built boats to run through waves. Molinari built boat to play a "TUNE". They were...
After the 1968 Six Hours of Paris ended, I went to buy a bottle of water, water was like five bucks, a bottle of wine was a dollar. So, I bought the wine. The wine bottle looked like a champagne...
Gary Mumaw took the picture and Margarite Woods gave me this picture at Jack Leek Memorial Service, she said it was Barry!
It looks like Renato has aged! Glad I haven't gotten OLD!
Is Molinari booze connected to Renato?
I really didn't care if you had a Merc, a Johnson or an Evinrude, if you wanted to pass me, I wasn't going to be easy. I used to get great pleasure "HOSING" Renato, his little mustache would be...
I think it is so cool that during this era, Mercury built the motors, but if you wanted to WIN, you ran a Record prop. When I figure out what "RADICE" knew (He built Cary, Rolla and Record props) I...
