    The mistake most people make early on is not hitting the "upload" button (and waiting until the screen changes to "upload complete") after selecting the pics. There is a step by step over on Boat racing facts, complete with pictures of what the screens look like as you do each step.

    I have a question for Joe, too. Do you remember roughly how many twin engine tunnels were made?

    Mark, I think it was high 20's or low 30's but can't say for sure. I destroyed eight myself
    We were "Experimental Research" division of Glastron and drove like nothing mattered. Art Carlson built the first lightweight twin for Havasu '70, the one I crashed on the first lap. Then he built the second one (Red & White) and I drove it once at the Galveston 250 '71. The boat was then given to Reggie. I don't think any more twins were built but don't know for sure. Harold would know but he's been dead for several years. Bob Hammond, in Austin, knows.

    Obviously that is Renato....but the guy behind him looks an awful lot like Fabio Buzzi.

    I know this should be on a "Muilty" thread, BUT, here are the remains of my first lap of Havasu '70
    The Officer was giving me a ticket--- Failure to yield right of way

    Makes my back hurt every time I see this. We just moved into our new house and I found all my old race stuff. Thats the reason for the posting of pic's.

    Havasu 1968.....

    The man with the glasses behind Renato is Bill Steele. At that time, I think his official title at Mercury was VP Engineering. He reported directly to Mr. Kiekhaefer and all racing efforts, including Offshore and OPC, went through him. When the Racing Team was formed, Garbrecht became Manager of Racing for OPC and he reported to Steele. A couple years later Steele's job was split. Charles Alexander was promoted to VP Engineering and Garbrecht became Director of Racing, reporting to Alexander.

    In 1968, Steele was the one who negotiated directly with the Molinari's and decided who raced what and when. The interpreter was the daughter of Carlo Rasini, a good friend of the Molinari family and a boat racer.

    Thanks Willa. Thats the names I remembered, but didn't know for sure. I also found a picture from '67 (I think) of the Abbete brothers with a small "V" they brought to a Houston race. I can post the pic if anyone is interested.

    I also posted the remains of the '70 Molly crash on the "Glastron # 998" thread. If you look at it notice the "Bent Headrest" on the seat, thats what kept me from being decapated.

    Always interested in seeing an Abbate . I did see the photo of the 21' twin on the 998 thread. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like you to add it to the "Hot Multi's" thread with some background info and the after crash photos. It was a Hot Multi, it just cooled down real quick at Havasu.

    Sorry about the size !!
    I don't remember if they were both Abbate's or just one of them. They came to Texas for some reason and wound up at one of our Bayshore boat club races. As I remember he knocked a hole in the side and got a little wet.

    Bill Steele was the guy that got me some of Hi-Perfs finest products, he came over to Europe with Roy Ridgell and travelled all over to see who was doing what. I had sold the Shultze and was running a Molinari, and building a Rossinari, in the loft. He turned up with Joe Swift and saw me do my first 360 flip at Iver Heath.!!!!!!! Promised me a boat for Havasu for the 69 race but he had been side lined when we arrived and GG. was running the show, and there was no boat. He moved further and further into obscurity and i never saw him again. Had a lot of fun with the Rasini family and got to know them all very well, we swopped kids for the summer holidays, that's one of the good things that came out of our relationship with Renato.
