From FB today...John Sherlock's photo.
John..I know the driver of the #8 Burgess/Aspen/Evinrude V8..
Remember this race in Pittsburgh 1983 very well.
Qualified third and had a big fight in the race with Buck Thorton.
He was racing a Johnson V8
Buck lost the bottom of the boat and sank with only a few laps left.
I think we raced 50 minutes, but needed fuel for 1.5 hours.
Yellow flags etc..
Molinari won in his Molinari/Martini/Evinrude V8
A great race..but as always in Pittsburgh..very rough conditions.
PS.
Look at all the spectators..over 300,000 was there to see the race...Well..Three Rivers Regatta
