His dad was amazing
And David was my friend
Ted,
Thanks for the kind words. This picture was taken at Lakewood, NJ race, very narrow one bouy turns. Pits were also very interesting, deep sand & fairly steep banks kind of like what Millville was by the dock & club house.
John is working on a 75-H... Here is the gearcase...
Just an FYI!
John Schubert...from New Jersery..not Texas.
This article is from the October 1971 issue of Powerboat Magazine.
Schubert, O'Dea, Shedell, etc...... We OPC. guys in the northeast were in awe of them prior to Schubert and O'Dea getting into OPC.
It's a shame Schubert chose "Brand X"....He would have been incredible with "Black Power".............
Seriously........... He was a wonderful talent and is another example of my theory that many of the greatest American pure outboard drivers all had last names beginning with the letter "S".
Sirois
Seebold (x4)
Schumacher
Schubert
I might even throw Sherlock in there.....and the first three all had "Bill" for a first name.
Congrats to Mister Schubert on a great career......... even with the "delusional" team.
T2x
OBSOLETE AND PROUD OF IT
Add Scotti to that list of "S's"....
and
Alan Stinson
Kenny Stevenson
Johnny Sanders

Isn't that Stinson? How about Sanders. And how about Shakespeare the other half of Clive Curtis & the Cougar tunnels. Sanders co-drove with Shakespeare & finished 2nd to the Berghauers at Parker in 72/73 ? I co-drove with Muncey & I think we were 3rd after breaking the steering wheel in what was a Scotti #9 changed t0 44 for the race. Then there is also Tom Stickle & Dick Scherrer.
Lars Strom, Jerry Simision, Jim Stone, Rocky Stone, Chuck Simon, Jim Schoch, Lee Sutter. And what about Steve de Souza? Is this a technicality?
