    Turn out pretty bad and I could have lost my life in a really bad crash at the factory.
    For a few reasons I am only posting a link to what happen..

    How long did they keep using the Methanol or did the UIM stop it?

    I used methanol in all the UIM OE sprint races from 1975 up to 1982. If I remember right was methanol banned after the 1982 season.
    Yes..methanol was tested and used in some shorter V6 races. You use way more methanol and in longer races the boat gets to heavy in the beginning of the race.
    I used 50/50 methanol/gas in the Paris 6 hours race 1977 running my OE class Molinari/Volvo Penta-Konig.

    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 good look. Yeah... Joachim Mareth. If he was in black, I would have instantly known. Thanks for the heads up Lars. Looks like Ranier Bisterfeld in the yellow windbreaker to the right of Joachim.
