Happy Birthday, Dick O'Dea!

Folks,
For those that visit this site and don't know who Dick O'Dea is, for many years he built some of the fastest alki/pro racing outboard engines that ever left New Jersey.

Dick is a true outboard racing legend and engine modifier.

All the best to you, Dick. :D


Regards,

Not only New Jersey....but anywhere. Happy Birthday Dick. When I first started racing and I started receiving ROOSTERTAIL I read them from cover to cover many times. Dick had an ad in every issue and there was always something to read about him. He was already a boat racing icon at that time. In my wildest dreams I never thought I would ever get to meet someone like Dick....let alone work with him on the racing commission and become friends. Have a very happy Birthday Dick.

Dick was and still would be if he so chose a top engine builder,make it go fast guy. I visited his shop in Patterson N.J. and always left impressed. The D Loop I helped build we picked up in his shop>> much memories and fun always comes to mind with the name DICK ODEA.

My Best
