Seems that my list of winners says no race in 1979...Hell, I know I didn't win, but I know there was a race...I ran a SIX CARB Mercury 2 liter...

Anyone know who won??

Who won in 1982 and 1983??

The book on my desk says no Parker Enduro's in those years 79, 82, & 83.

Referencing Kevin Desmond A CENTURY OF OUTBOARD RACING, but hey he's an Englishman and I'm an East Coaster, what do we know about Parker?

I know there was a winner in 1979....As Freddy Hauenstein and I won it in 1978...Freddy went to work for Mercury, and I ran a Mercury....in 1979...First place in 1978, first boat out in 1979....

I ran Mod VP in 1982 and 1983......

Seems lke It was a Seebold Mercury in 82....with like a New Yorker....Maybe, John Sherlock....

There definitely was a Parker enduro in 1979 because that's where my brother and his wife spent their honeymoon- they were married on March 3, 1979 - one day before the race.

I'm trying to remember who won it???? I certainly remember who won in 1978, because I captured that win on canvas.

Which year did Mitch Lembke and the Jaguar V-12 win Parker? Was it 1979?

Hi Ron:

I'm still looking for 1979, but Jimbo and Ron Ackerman won in 1982; and Art
Kennedy and John Mesch won in 1983 with a 2-liter Mercury.

....it was Billy Seebold. From the December 1979 issue of POWERBOAT & WATERSKIING. (I didn't scan deep enough. Molinari had to change one too many gearcases and it allowed Billy and Earl Bentz to get in front for the win.)

Ron, I ran Parker in 1983 with a new 20 Baker. A good friend of mine , Paul Lehr split the driving in your Eliminator that year.We picked up our boat at Baker's shop and rigged it days before the race. I remember the first Darth Baker was just being completed at the time for Bill Sirious I believe. I can't remember if he ran at Parker or not that year. Thanks to you and your props, I dominated all of the outlaw races in our area. Also region 3 high point in Mod-VP the same year. Thanks again......George Fuller

Jimbo McConnell and I spent part of a day making this list...The fact that he won in 1982 and 1984, seemed he would have remembered who won in 1983...

Did John Mesch win with a co-driver we can't recall who it was...

Seems it my mind, it was like a red and white Seebold with a Merc. We had been fueling Ganaro Garcia's boat and we had a small problem, they were third overall, late in the race, and we ended up knocking a hole in the inside of the sponson while trailering the boat...Seems I felt Ganaro would have won...26 years ago...hard to recall.

In 2000 there was a 2 x 2 hour race held on 6-7 May.

Winner was Todd Bowden, 2nd. Garry Vogel, 3rd John Marles.

Was this not classified as a Parker Enduro event ?

1976 was won by Jimbo McConnell and Geoff Briggs in the Goat boat and an Evinrude/Johnson V4.( I believe they changed the engine cowl at pit stops.) This is the year we were leading for most of the race in a Cougar with the new Evinrude CCC, until it ran out of fuel on the lap I was coming in. After the boat was retrived with police escort the boat was refuelled and went on to finish Sixth overall

The 9 Hour was never won with a "GOAT BOAT", but the 1976 Parker 9 Hour was won by Bob Larson and Geoff Briggs. They ran a Scotti with a V-4 mid section and a near stock Evinrude V-6.

There was a year that Jmbo raced Evinrudes (Evinrude cowling) and his co-driver had a Johnson cowling. I'll ask Jimbo.

I have to ``eat crow`` as the saying goes!! I was wrong!!, Don't tell my wife!that I admitted that. After i got your message i found some of our OLD crew, One Howard Bonnett said that I was right, but, when i found my co driver Ian Purdon he tended to agree with your explanation with the builtup engine.I'm sorry for offering the wrong imformation.

The Larson Briggs outfit would have ran the early 2.0litre V6 engines they all had V4 midsections we had 5 of these engines at the OMC Factory at Brugge Belgium in 1976 the first engine i had was that standard it had steel reeds when we swopped to plastic reeds it gained 300rpm.Veldon ran one in 1975 and the first thing he did was to chop 4inches out of the V4 midsection and shorten the driveshaft.When the CCC 2.5 engine came out they put the hammer through and destroyed all these older engines just as they were getting them more reliable?.

11-13-2013, 07:56 PM
I was under the impression that Bob Larson, who I might call tomorrow) might have worked with Tom Ireland to put this rig together. I was under the impression, it was a 149 cubic inch V-6, six carb "FISHING" motor that they bolted up to a V-4 Mid section. The only 2.0 liter OMC's I ever knew about were Fred Hauenstein's design...........maybe need to call Freddy on this. I think all the Belgium 2.0 for for Paris only...Larsen's was just a 149 that "RUMBLED ALONG", 9 hours was a long time to race!

Well Ron what you say makes sense running a stock 2.5 powerhead for a 9hr race`i was told by Barry Woods in 1976 that we had all the early 2.0V6 engines in Europe we could never understand this` he said he was still running the V4 engines in the US unless it was a major event.You mentioned Freddi Hauenstein who i only met once in 1977` i found Freddi a genuinely nice man he told me he really liked the design of the new Mercury engines and would be going to work for Mercury but he was still racing OMC the next year with you at Parker?.You also mentioned Jim Nerstrom now he is the man to enlighten us all about the small volume race engines OMC built he needs to post this information and give us the lowdown on all the development work he did.I have posted a few pictures of boats running with these early 2.0 litre outboards look how high the engine is on the no 4 boat then see the same boat no7 with a 2.5ccc engine.

11-25-2013, 04:04 PM
Hey Ron,

I'm pretty sure Ken Stevenson won Parker in 1980. I mostly remember it because Mr. Garbrecht made a tactical decision that cost us the race when we had a fairly good lead near the end. Seebold's boat broke, Bentz failed a gear case near the end of the race and had to be changed in the river (no trailer), and Percival? turned over. Bad day for us at Team Mercury. But these T-4s were fast.

Fred

PS: There were some OMC cross-flow 2.0 V-6s in Europe at some point before 1975. Not my project. In 1975 Cees van der Velden won the 2.0 liter (ON class) Worlds in Cardiff with the first OMC 2.0 looper V-6 (my project) on the first of the CCC short midsections (on alky, too) and 1975 Amsterdam had a few of these 2.0 loopers (on gasoline). -FH

Hi Fred,

I remember the ON World Championship race in Cardiff 1975 very well. Extremely interesting as a OMC racer and dealer.

(I was there racing SE but the "little swimming pool" where the race took place was to rough for my Clerici)
http://svera.se/blogg/racing-historier/bo-and-i-team-up-for-our-first-trip-to-england-later-1975/

Cees boat broke and was out of the pit overnight for repair.
The new OMC 2 liter looper power head you built was faaast..and finally the OMC V6 engine with the cut down mid section looked like a race engine.
Big win for OMC..

Here is info from Parker 1980..I guess Ken Stevenson and Bob Spalding won.

Fred Hauenstein
11-25-2013, 06:47 PM
Hi Lasse

Yep. Cees's 2.0 power head stayed in the Cardiff scrutineer's car's "boot" overnight while the boat went away for repair.

At Parker 1980, the Mecury T-4 on Seebold's boat (the only 3.9 liter T-4 there, the others were 3.4 liter) did not fail, the tunnel roof near the rear of the boat caved in and separately some trim pump wires burned. The only problem Merc had was with the new gear cases which we had never run more than about 3 hours. Earl Bentz was sharp enough to notice his gear case failing soon enough to get it back to shore with it intact so we found the problem and could fix the weak housing castings. The others ran to complete failure and holes through the housings.

Just some inside informatin to set the record straight.;)

Hi Lars;

Looks like it. You mentioned how rough it was at Cardiff and I agree. However, that was one of Cees' strengths - he could really handle rough water better than most. Thanks for the picture! Lots of good memories.

Jimbo had used that 2.0 looper power head two weeks before to win both the MOD 120 and MOD U APBA National Championships in Miami. When he got back, we converted the engine to alky and shipped it to Holland. When we started testing with Cees, the filler we used in the carbs to prevent stalling in turns (Devcon) started melting. We were out of business until we used more alky to scrape the stuff out of the carb bodies and Cees's friend at the university made up some aluminum fillers. Then we did very little testing and went to Cadiff. Lots of hard work and luck involved with that win.

FredYep. I called it quits about 8 yrs. ago. Have done some consulting for a couple of companies on rotary engines and am working part time at a sporting goods store now. Gives me something to do and gets me out of the house for awhile. I first put die cast hi-sil pistons in production in 1978 in chainsaws. Most of the engine people are using it now or the newer hyper eutectic alloy from NASA (OMC). What are you up to? Do you still have doings with Rick? I hear tell he is working with his son on a V-8 outboard.

Fred HI `Fred a lot of water has passed under the bridge since we last exchanged a few words 1977? I remember Barry Woods in this race he ran the 2nd Marlbro boat one of Cees old sprint Molinaris he had while still with Mercury.Before the race i can remember Ziggy swopping the 6 carb set up with much larger carbs and manifolds on his crosssflow engine`i think he was either 2nd or third before he barrel rolled it `but somebody should have told him before the race those sprint Molinaris had quiet a narrow tunnel?

Here we go again------me and my mouth, one day it'll get me into trouble.
BarryWoods was always his own man and didn't ever need any reminding on how to drive a boat.
I had one of the shortest Molinari sprints ever built, there was nothing wrong with the tunnel width.
If your balls were big enough, you would win, or roll it trying.
As Andretti used to say----if your not driving over the top ------your not driving hard enough.
In it's day, that little 15' and a smidgin Molinari was the greatest boat ever( but only for 2 years) .
