Maybe we are getting a little confused... The "gold" painted lowerunits that we are now used to seeing on the MK20H engines are supposed to look like someone had an original (green & gold) MK20H...

Are you looking for some history about the Wiseco Company? I knew a guy who helped start the company with Clyde Wiseman.

I know who 100-B is..... his son still races a little!

The original lower units were made by Marshall Sr. He was a terrific "engine tuner" through the 30's with Clint Ferguson as driver. Marshall was obviously one of the best engine modifiers as his...

Denny Henderson is in the top two photos.... Has anyone seen Jim McKean and Roger Clements in the same room together? Lets see.... who is more famous... A "younger" Jim looks like a "younger" Rocket...

Bottom picture is Bruce driving the famous DeSilva "Miss Laurie"? I remember Steve Litzell running it when it was an old boat. the history of that boat would be interesting......

Rookie rider...? Sometimes that is the only way they can get a rider- someone who hasn't seen them go! My daughter rode with Jim Kirts in maybe 1999 at the Nationals. I believe that it was the last...

Ron is that non other that Stan Armstrong "The All-American Boy" behind you? New England had some good DU boats at one time.......

X is for Iowa.... Probably the most popular Letter! Up this way it is used on every boat that needs a quick boat number using duct tape!

Along with todays great racers, we forget that there were some great drivers through the decades. People who worked hard and achieved a lot. Outboard racing started in the 20's and it is still done...

The "Zak Pipe" that Sam illustrated above is the same as what was on the 250cc Harrison/Yamaha (1984 vintage) engine that I had. I bought a 250ccH rig from Kay Harrison that had a '84 Pugh boat and...

More great pictures! The racers back then were rather smart. They even had graphite bottom coatings to reduce friction. Their problem was... along with improving performance, they had to develope the...

Sam- What a great picture! I get a kick out of the trailer! The point that this illustrates is that back in the mid-to-late 20's, they were doing the SAME thing that we are doing. Just a thought when...

I didn't know that "Master Oil Racing Team" was Wayne Baldwin! Hello. My only experience with the World Championships was in Lakeland that year. I know that it sounds foolish now, but I didn't have a...

I met Wayne Baldwin at the awards banquet for the '93 OA & OC World Championships in Lakeland. I didn't know who he was and he didn't know me. We ended up sitting next to each other! When he was...

Steve would be a great person to share his personal knowledge of A Class engine dominance. Particularly because he has been around PRO racing for so long AND because he has been an inspector at the...

Sam- That is the photo that I remembered! I didn't notice before that he was leaning on a Johnson KR engine! This must have been in response to the Mercury engines that were converted to alcohol and...

Eventually, this question will force me to get all of my old rule books out and go through the records. This will give me a vague manufacturer's name, but not the model engine or anything that might...

Thanks Sam.

The "hot Caille racers" were B class and C class engines I guess. I didn't know if they had a fast class A engine too.... The caille engines were pretty slick with the "sometimes"...

Those who have raced in the 50's might know these answers.... I have a "collection" of new and old racing engines. It hasn't gone without notice that MOST of these engines are "A Class" engines! I...

Lockwood came out in 1928 with a new pair of models. The ACE was an A class engine and the CHIEF was a B class engine. Both dominated the record books that year (1928) in these two classes. The real...
