Great photos Lars. Brings back memories of some great racers from those days. I was fortunate to meet Cees at Karlshaven on the Weser River, and later party into the night with him and a bunch of others at Linz on the Danube, And also meet and get some photos of Roger Jenkins at Berlin at a reace when you snuck into Dieters to pick up your Volvo Konig motor then headed north with your boat to rig it up and test for a very successful year.

Thanks Lars.....Your posts are really fun. What happened to the 80's?? Huh???
What do you think would have happened if they ran the V-8 on a hydro? Seems hydros skid in the corners, racing may have been more interesting. The problem with the V-8 circuit was that no one realized how many would die driving these things. And two, the races were BORING....There was little or no passing....
Anyway, love your posts......I missed Eric at the Fred Hall Boat Show..he was fun to work with.......His spirit was with me though!
