    So glad to see you posting pictures again Lars. Those pictures of ABBA are amazing. Seem like I read one time that they were the largest income producers for Sweden.


    Thanks Lars Strom thanked for this post

    This picture from the 1982 Drammen, Norway F1-V8 race is interesting.
    If you look close you can see a black #191 Molinari. Yes its Jimbo McConnell and I am pretty sure its the same black Molinari Jimbo drove in Pittsburgh same year.
    OMC V-8 hit’s the U.S. Pittsburgh 1982

    Default Letter from Cathy McConnell

    So nice to have pictures with my racing hero Jimbo McConnell. We have been to Needles two times with our motorhome to visit Cathy and Jimbo. We stayed 3-4 days and Jimbo took us to many different places. Well..I also helped him with his RC airplanes.
    Here is a few pictures..more is coming.
    Thank you Cathy.

    Text for the last picture:
    Jimbo, Carina and me in the old little western town Oatman, Arizona. If I remember right the year was 1999.
