Check this out...safety cockpits with crash boxes has come a long way...
Think about this crash the way we raced F1-V8 boats..behind two layers of fiberglass.

Lasse ------you surprise me when you say you only had 2 layers of fibreglass.
The Hodges Cell was constructed with high tech composites and carbon fibre and kevlar, right from the word go. Whose hull were you running ???????

[Lars Strom]

I mean before safety cells..My Burgess boat (on the picture to the left) did not have any safety..only 2 layers of fiberglass in the boat cowling in front of the driver.
Model year 1984 and older..

How about Marshall------E class english driver with no experience over 850cc. Never should have been given a super licence. ????? But then again neither should Rick Frost---or at least 6 others who were there to make up numbers.
Did you ever race anything above E class before you went up to OZ.
I dislike calling it F1----mainly because it never was a formula.!!!!!!!!!!! Open ended class open to only OMC goods as they were calling the shots.
At least in the FONDA series if it was 2 litres -you could race it---regardless of creed or colour.

Mr. Bills toy on 4 wheels..we are heading to the Marco Island boat ramp..

Ready to go..My wife Carina and Mikes wife.
