Bob V. THANK YOU! I am very poor at posting stuff, a single picture maybe, but this was crude to say the least. Only thing missing on that manuscript was ECK's intials or signature but I believe he wrote it. Found it in a trash pallet with all the snowmobile literature, sevice memos', interplant emos.eetc, which I couldn't save. Lost to the ages now.

Bernie - This is amazing...!! I have read it a couple of times and am fascinated with the mindset going on especially knowing that this dates back to 1952. The part where "Korf is holding his own despite the loss of his co-pilot during a 70 mile per hour turn" is beyond priceless. If you have any thing else that you want to post, I would be glad to assist...Bob

The above picture is from the 1952 race---he ran a Chrysler-----AND----a Lincoln---

Thanks Jim--but I found a couple pics from the 1951 race--

I think that was his first venture into car racing?

The year was 1951--THE KOREAN WAR.

Outboard production was limited--because of a lack of aluminum--

Joe

Just like the letter says; Teams with lower budgets got NASCAR to change the rules 2 years in a row making it harder for Kiekhaefer to remain the top dog. The second year, Kiekhaefer said Adios!

Thats are there is to it.

Hey JFL and MDB29, help me out here. Got thinking about Mercury's Plant number system. Plant 1 was Cedarburg Mfg, 2, Cedarburg Die Cast, 3, FDL Warehouse, 4, FDL Hickory Street Mfg, 5, Oshkosh Mfg, 5A, Oshkosh Mfg, 6, Oshkosh Engineering, 7, St. Cloud Plastics, 8, FDL Foundry, 9 ??? 10, FDL Offices, don't think there was an 11, 12, FDL Engineering, 13, None., 14, Stillwater, 15 FDL Assembly, 16 FDL Snowmobiles, 17, FDL Die Cast, 18, ???, no 19, then skip to 30, Lake X, 33, OSH Boathouse, 36 OSH Racing, 37, Placida, 64, OSH Test, 98, Propellers. Probably Belgium and Australia had numbers?

I believe we were #38 at Mercury Racing, 20 Wisconsin St., Oshkosh.

Engineering under Dick Snyder, "The Blue Room" and propeller development, were originally in the same building as #5 in Oshkosh, but was called #33. I think they got their own building on the river between #5 and #38 in the mid seventies.

That is Up, Up and Away,but that fancy paint job was applied right after the 1970 Havasu OWC. Billy Don Pruett rad it at Havasu in 1971 with that basic paint scheme. He blew it over and that was the last anyone saw of that boat. :(

I do not know who drove the 011 pictured, but doubt it was Spalding or Percival. I believe they were running OMC's when those 18' rockers were in vogue. It does have an original 'Molinari made' rear steering bar. Those were used before Merc made the aluminum plate and damn few got out into the field. That makes me think the boat was run in Europe.

As to whether or not Tom or Bob ever ran a 'solid' Molinari, here they are after they switched to "the Outboard used by Champions" .....

Here is the link to the original Mecum Monterey auction for that boat from 2018. Maybe this might hold a few clues.

As far as I know Bob never had a solid Molinari——- they were into pickles when Bobjoined Mercury—- butto besure, you should ask Willabee ! I think Willabee has missed this one he has a terrific picture of Percival and Spalding side by side driving 17ft full tunnel Molinaris at Bristol with the white red and blue colours of the JPS sponsors they first had these outfits in 1971 with twister 1 engines.Both Percival and Spalding did drive the early full tunnel Molinaris which was the same as yours+Rossis yellow Molinari but it was Johnson powered.Maybe we could get Willabee to add these pictures.

I didn't miss it, my response and the photo are on post 12669. You should know by now that I try not to miss an opportunity to take a shot at Jackie. :D
