Super Swede ... Lars Strom

I got this great picture from a friend of mine.
We all can see a happy Roger Jenkins..not sure who is helping him getting ready for the race.
After study the picture for a long time I think it is from Liege, Belgium 1984.
To me the Carlsberg sponsored Evinrude F1-V8 boat is a Hodges. If I remember right the Liege race 1984 was the only race Roger raced a F1-V8 Hodges.
Yes..this was the race we lost Tom Percival.

Too many subjects to comment on at the same time, but I must first say it was a shock and very sad thing to hear about Tom Percival. As far as the photo I mentioned Lars, you are right. That was a Marlboro patch. The photo you told me I knew who was in the picture was easy because Joachim Mareth had his name running down the sleeve. And it was not so easy identifying Cees Van Der Velden from behind. I hoped mentioning his foot on the Velden boat might be a clue. As far as the motor, I'm sure I can find some other photos, and even thought I was freezing, I took a lot of pit shots. I will see what I have.

I was considering guessing Cees Van Der Velden but I did not remember him with so much hair..but now looking at this picture from the same time frame I was wrong.

Small world..my friend was not sure where he found this picture but now we know..(This is from FB this morning)
Thanks Richard Rushen for the picture and to confirm my memory was correct.

A 1984 Liege race picture of Roger Jenkins #9 Hodges/Carlsberg/Evinrude F1-V8.
I am pretty sure this was Roger Jenkins last F1-V8 race.

My guess is Francois Salabert, Renato Molinari and his brother Georgio is not looking at F1-V8 race boats..

One of the most famous racers ever "the King" Richard Petty and his Prevost/Marathon coach is parked next to us tonight.

[Lars Strom]

Thanks Ron, I know you are a big NASCAR supporter.
Another Prevost/Marathon coach just arrived for service tomorrow..Its belongs to the third 7 time NASCAR Champ Jimmie Johnson. He is also parked a few coaches from us.

The perfect sponsor for me..Well..maybe not..

Derrick Issitt of UK in his #36 OE/F3 class Burgess/Johnson RS.
I love his sponsor..my favorite beer: Stella Artois
My guess this is from early/mid eighties.
