What's New at QuincyLooperRacing.us

[Original Looper 1]

Happy New Year to everyone here at BRF!

Santa brought us a very nice present this year - Tom Berry, who raced (very successfully) in the 1960's and 1970's, sent us a CD full of old racing photos from his personal album. There's well over 200 photos for us to post to the QuincyLooperRacing.US web site.

We just added 25 photos today from 1969/Creve Cour, 1970/Riverfront Park, 1971 Swope Park plus a few more including the 3 you see below.

In the future, as time permits, we will add as many of the photos as we can to the Looper site.

You can see the rest of the pictures at:
www.QuincyLooperRacing.us

Click on the link for Racing Legends, then on Tom Berry.

Enjoy!!

....you are missing out on some great history and some fantastic restorations. You can spend hours not only reading the history and seeing some great photos, but there are a lot of historical records to be looked at. Thanks for the work you and Diane are putting in Paul.

I have started to inventory the piston rings I bought from Harry Brinkman and there is a ton of them. My guess is more than 5000 right now. An intresting package I found today had a set of sample "C" looper "L" rings that range from .010 to .060 oversize. The note on the package said they were from Quincy Welding to Jack Kugler to Harry. I also found all the tooling to make the "L" rings. Some day I might restart the making of these rings if people are intrested in that I have lots of blanks.

Hi Everyone,

We've been loading lots of photos over at the www.QuincyLooperRacing.us web site - photos include contributions by Alan Ishii for his Race Legends page, photos of races from the 1960's and 1970's from Wayne Baldwin posted under the Races tab (Random Race Photos), there are new outboard collections from Bob Rusnak (great Looper photos) and Joe Garrick and last but not least, pictures by Bob Dunlap from the February 2009 AOMCI meet at Tiger Lake, FL.

The photo here is from Bob Rusnak. He's running a Quincy B Looper.

Thanks to Bob R, Alan, Wayne, Bob D and everyone that's sent us photos lately to add to our online history book of outboard racing. Keep them coming!

Hi Everyone,

For those fans of the www.QuincyLooperRacing.us web site, we've added some "new" old photos from Pete Nydahl and Wayne Baldwin. Wayne sent us what may be the last letter written by Jerry Waldman to the outboard racing community, just before the Arkansas race event where he lost his life.

We're also working on a large project. A while back Tom Berry sent us a CD full of racing photos of 1969 thru 1976 from his personal photo album. Many have faded over time and we have been working to restore as many as possible to post to the Quincy Looper site. We plan to start posting them this upcoming week (work schedule permitting).

Here's a few from the Tom Berry collection you'll be seeing soon on the Quincy site. One guy sure looks familiar.......

Thanks,

Paul A Christner

We've added lots of old, historic newspaper articles at the www.QuincyLooperRacing.us web site under Memorabilia - page 10. The photo below is from a St. Louis Post Dispatch newspaper article about Billy Seebold from 1966. Billy's engine in the picture is a championship winning Quincy D Looper.

We've also posted quite a few other new "old" photos from Artie Neadeck's personal racing photo album at Artie's page under the Collections tab. Artie has a nice collection of restored, vintage race boats & a very sweet Quincy C Looper.

More photos coming soon from the Tom Berry racing photo album.

thanks,

The photos include people such as Wayne Baldwin and his dad, Paul Bogosian, Rex Hall, Bill Van Steenwyk, Tim Chance, Stan & Butch Leavendusky and Wayne Walgrave running his championship winning 6 cyl Looper (see below).

We still have at least 50 more photos to put up from Tom's collection, so stay tuned!

Karen...nobody can remember everything, but sometimes something someone (three somes in a row....kind of weird that it works.) says will jog a memory. No two people remember everything alike and Joe and I are always feeding off each other when we try to remember a time, place, driver, etc. A little thing so simple as trying to find a shear pin in the mud just flooded back into my memory. Thanks. Often it's just all the little things that brings back fond memories of days gone past.

Hi Everyone,

We've just loaded over 100 photos from the 2009 races at Constantine and DePue (National Championships) at the www.QuincyLooperRacing.us web site under the EVENTS tab.

We owe a big thanks to Dale Hoffert for sending us his fantastic photos for posting. Dale is a long time race fan that grew up in DePue, IL, and is an appreciated contributor to the boat racing sport.

Dale is in the process of sending us his spring 2009 DePue race photos and we will try to get those added this weekend, time permitting.

Here's a small sample of Dale's photos we've posted.

Enjoy,
