    What a tragic end to someone so young with a promising racing career Lars. Reminds me of the tragic death of Erwin Zimmerman whom I sure you remember who just started racing with Mercury after a very successful career racing kneel down alkies. The last time I talked to Billy Seebold he told me he liked his wins at Bristol, and he didn't say this, but I could tell by talking to him it was because it was because it was so challenging, dangerous, and he was successful. I had asked him about his favorite race course, and his answer "Bristol" surprised me.

    Today January 29 is my best friend and wife's birthday. For over 30 years ago I asked Carina to leave Sweden for "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" in the USA.
    If I have told her 30 years ago we are going to end up living in a "house on wheels"..maybe we still had been in Sweden..
    Thanks, hugs and Happy Birthday Carina.❤️❤️❤️
    I was looking for one picture but could not pick the right one..here is all of them

    Now I have some old pictures for you to identify. I know you know some of these guys, but how many? What can you tell us about them. The pictures were taken at a marathon on the Weser River in Karlshaven, Germany in 1976.

    HeeHee Wayne, I do my best.
    I have never raced at Weser River in Karlshaven.
    Not so good at German SD/SE drivers 1976 but can tell the #11 cat is a Velden, the #154 is a Clerici model year 1973.
    The # 21 & 44 is Swedish built V-bottom boats. If I remember right the brand was Gambler 45.
    PS...after my year with Konig (1977) I know most of the German OE drivers and my favorite without question was Hans George Krage.

    Very good Lars. Everyone I know is like you and has the same favorite OE driver Hans George Krage. The second picture on Post 848, you know the guy on the far right holding a champagne bottle in his left hand and his right foot on a Velden.
