Lars,
Not off topic at all. This thread was started by Paul Christner of Quincy Welding.
The pictures were taken at Twin Oaks Club situated in a bay off the main river (Mississippi) channel. It's only 4 miles from my house.
Twin Oaks is well protected from the wind, pleasure boat and towboat wakes.
Hours and hours of "on the boat testing" were done here in the development of the Quincy Looper engines.
As you well know, not everything that shows positive on the dyno equates to better performance. We probably tested at Twin Oaks at least once a week during the summer months. Less often in the spring and fall.
Duck hunters didn't like us testing in November and the bay is usually iced over from late December to early March.
I have such fond memories of Twin Oaks that I've asked my family to scatter my ashes there after I'm gone. My wife isn't too cool with that, but I've eaten so many fish in my life they should have a right to get even.
Next time you come to Quincy, give me a call. I'd like to meet you.
I'll make you the same offer I made Wayne. A carp lunch at one of the bars along the riverfront and a cold Bud-Lite.
