    Jimbo McConnell in front of his Evinrude V8. This is from 1982. I think Pittsburgh/Three Rivers Regatta.

    It looks like a hot dog Lars, but do they have American hot dogs in Norway? I saw so many sausages and wurst products in KaDeWe in Berlin that I don't think I could pick a hot dog out of that pile.

    HeeHee Master Oil/Wayne,
    No they do not have American hot dogs in Norway or Sweden.. but I guarantee you the one Jimbo is eating is extremely good.

    That's what I thought Lars. Wish I could still eat some of the original and the best wurst.

    Its from the big boat race in Lappeenranta, Finland 1973.
    My dream just came thru and I won the race everybody told me I could not win..
    Its me in the Evinrude t-shirt, Hans Holmén next to me in front of my #99 Clerici/Evinrude SS. Bo Nilson and Orjan behind in his Schulze/Merc.
    More Jørgen Jørgensen pictures from 1973. This is from the Nordic Championship race in Holback, Denmark. Jorgen was the CEO for Evinrude Denmark.
    It was raining all weekend in Holback but it did not stop the Swede from winning in the SE class driving the #99 Clerici/Evinrude SS boat..Yes its me in the first picture.

    Cees Van der Velden and his Velden Racing/Johnson V6 RS 3 liter, looper fuel injection.
    Pretty sure its Ziggy from OMC fueling up his OZ class boat. Maybe Mouse to the far left helping.
    Yes, I was there.

    Default Brakes was used for a few years.

    Bob Spalding #11 Velden Racing/Carlsberg/Johnson RS V6 3 liter looper fuel injection.
    Here you can see the air operated brake cylinders at the rear of the cat. This is from Drammen, Norway 1979, maybe 1980

    In the second picture Bob is fueling up and next to the fuel tank is the air pressure bottle.
