Happy Birthday Dick O'Dea!

Happy Birthday, Dick O'Dea!

Folks,
For those that visit this site and don't know who Dick O'Dea is, for many years he built some of the fastest alki/pro racing outboard engines that ever left New Jersey.

Dick is a true outboard racing legend and engine modifier.

All the best to you, Dick.


Regards,

Not only New Jersey....but anywhere. Happy Birthday Dick. When I first started racing and I started receiving ROOSTERTAIL I read them from cover to cover many times. Dick had an ad in every issue and there was always something to read about him. He was already a boat racing icon at that time. In my wildest dreams I never thought I would ever get to meet someone like Dick....let alone work with him on the racing commission and become friends. Have a very happy Birthday Dick.
