    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.
    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..

    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.

    Picture 1

    At that time there was no World title for the SE class.

    Picture 2

    Poster of my Aspen/Evinrude F1 V8 Boat 1983, Stockholm GP, very big race part of the world Championship that year downtown Stockholm, 250,000 spectators.

    Picture 3

    A little story and photo in Swedish about me, but very interesting so please put it in.
    I Translate one day. (Maybe)

    Picture 4

    World famous Erik Eriksson and Lars, I think Marina Del Ray, CA
    Erik Eriksson was a good friend of mine, and a close friend to Ron Hill.

    He past away in a Helicopter crash a few years ago, and Ron asked me for a Picture of Erik


    Regards

    Lars
    Lars, you are good to go. Look for an email from me about your password. Time to start bragging about all those races! [/QUOTE]

    Wow..I missed the 10 years anniversary for me at Boatracingfacts.com. Remember when I signed in "Join Date 01-22-2008" but could not figure out how to start a thread. I did send Ron Hill an email and he and Mark75H got me going.
    Thank you very much.

    Very glad you joined Lars. I was like you in the beginning. Didn't even really know how to use a computer, much less post pictures. BRF has caused a lot of old timers to get new skills with regard to computers. Now 10 years later you have a lot of fabulous posts and stories we can all look back on.
