Super Swede ... Lars Strom

[Skoontz]

Yup. The whole 4 stroke buzz is nothing more than a bunch of Greenies thinking, well dreaming their heavy dirty oil engulfed 4 strokes are size for size more powerful than what any logical person knows.
You cant beat a 2 stroke, simple as that. Even in motocross, they wont allow a 450 2 stroke run against a 450 4 stroke. They make you run 250 vs a 450. That says it all. And the E-tec is cleaner. I only wish Evinrude would get on board with some forms of racing support. I'm disgusted seeing black motors win everything but there is not a whole lot of choice to be made.....

A very nice place for boat racing.

This is from the boating magazine Vene in Finland.
A five page report about the big SE class race in Lappenraanta 1973..
My first big win.. the race that open the door the International boat racing/outboard business for me..

I can only guess what the writing is about..I don't understand Finnish.
My nickname is Lasse Ström in the long story.

My boat is the #99..Roger Jenkins #56.

Here is my own story about this race..
A Swedish success, “propped into racing” by a Norwegian 1973

expensive dock??

[John Schubert T*A*R*T]

That was my first thought as well, then seeing 14 V-8 rigs, what the hell, the rubber dingy's for the dock is a small pitence compared to the engines & boats.
