Race of Champions, Miami Marine Stadium
Thank you Roy, Mintominto and Bill for all the info.
Well, maybe the $10,000.00 price money was the biggest reason I was so disappointed not
being part of the "Dream race"
I am pretty sure you must be a World Champ in any UIM, or APBA class that year to be part of the
race.
I remember OMC came back to me and said there was no way they could help me
in to the race without make someone else upset.
If I remember right, there was no second race the year after.

My story about the race in Amsterdam is coming up next,
but first I like to tell this little story.
I meet this US driver for the first time in the pit in Amsterdam and he was a fun man and said
this to me:
Lars, in Europe they drive Formula one cars in ballet shoes, in the US we
drive Formula 5000 cars in Texas boots... and then he smiled and
jumped in to his Evinrude powered OZ boat and lead the race.
He later rolled in one of the turns, the water was
really ruff in the Port of Amsterdam
I become a good friend to this man and raced him for many years.
Well, I am going to let you guess who this person is??
