That's what I also heard about the combination motor Henry. My last race was at the OD World Championships in Berlin 1981. I've never been back, but Steve Litzell lived in Berlin for awhile working for Dieter. I think he is the one that told me about the OE Konig. I wish he would take time to come on here and give is some history that he lived through. Dieter gave him the knowledge and confidence he had to build his own 8 cylinder.

Thanks for the pics and info Lars. Who was driving the Beck's boat? I guess after 1978 OE's never ran methanol again? I have a bunch of Powerboat & Waterskiing issues that I did not read after I quit racing. Maybe there's some info there I can post. In the meantime Henry and Lars....keep digging up stuff to post.
