I still feel that Konig did a great job in these races, what would have happend if he had the money and backing that OMC and Merc had. If i remember right, Jeff Hutchin's turned faster laps with a 350 cc (20 ci) motor than the OMC OE's did. I could be wrong about some of this, but this is how i remember it, if i am feel free to correct me.
