    Default Fred Hauenstein, Jr. 3/8/2017

    Fred just got back from Monaco, he had been at a UIM meeting. He drove down from Kingsburg, I sold him some "TOP SECRET" parts.

    After Fred left, it dawned on me, I've basically known Fred all my life. (73 years, his dad raced against my dad). I got Fred his first ride in OPC, 1967, I got him his job at OMC. I got him his job at Mercury. But all through those many years, Fred was a "TRUE" RACER. LIKE I reminded him, I may have gotten him the job at Mercury, but he kept it for 31 years.

    We didn't talk about his brother, Jim, today. But I'm sure he was thinking about him, as was I, this June 1, 2017 will be 20 years ago that Jim was killed in Formula One tunnel boat racing.

    I think Fred enjoyed his day at Hill Marine and Signature Propellers, I know I did.
