    Yep, Lars is one of us.

    Default Paris 6 Hours 1982

    Thank you so much Henry-Jacques Cmc. I am so happy to see this picture.

    This year 1982.. Paris 6 Hours was run in a different format.

    2 X 1,5 Hours and I did the race without a co-pilot.

    I had a perfect race and won both 1.5 hour races in the white F-3 Burgess powered by Evinrude CC..

    do you remember how they went about warming the power head up? same power head for both runs? how hard did you turn the power head? like 7000 to 8000 ?
    thanks

    Default Very sad news..


    One of the powerboat world’s greatest racer ever left us today.


    Dec 8th, 2014

    I just got the sad news from Italy that the great Angelo Vassena past away.
    There is so many memories from racing with Angelo.
    He was such a fun friend to hang around..and always surprised you with crazy things.
    So many things is spinning in my head..

    Paris, Stockholm, London, Bruges, Como, Lecco, Sabaudia, the Evinrude factory..etc etc..

    Maybe my best memory is our teamdriving in Paris 1978.

    R.I.P my dear friend

    Hi Fast Fred,

    Well..the Evinrude powerhead I used in F3 1980/81 and 82 was much better than the FT/FR powerhead.
    Pressed in sleeves with far better porting,
    A very forgiving engine and I used Methanol and had very few problems.
    Don't remember the RPM but pretty high at the end of the straight a ways

    Never any cooling problems but don't remember if i used a thermostat or not.

    We used this powerhead up to I think 1987/88. Next one had the exhaust on the other side.
    A very good and powerful engine..
    No other outboard was even close to keep up with the OMC.

    Thanks to Jim Nerstrom and many more att OMC Engineering.

    I think the F3 was one of the best boat racing classes ever.
