Would love to be there Rich, but when we did the Canada/USA trip in June, we decided to give the OFF a miss this year.We have to come over in November for my grand daughter Louise's wedding, so to come over in October as well, would have been just a tad much. [it's Jilly you know, getting on a bit and hasn't got the stamina she used to have]!!!!!!!!
Since Shakey won the Paris race and Mr. K. Himself presented him with the first black widow as a gift, All the Mercury secret sh-t made it's way through the side door of SWMF direct to Tewkesbury.Quote:

I had won most of the nationals and a couple of internationals. Combination of Mercury. Hi--perf backing and a brand new 17 ft. Molinari Sprint----Don Ross as co-driver, meant that we were damn near untouchable.
The Chasewater 500 was in place of the 24 hour race, the race was in the bag after the first 10 laps------- OMC had no answer to the silo and it ran like clockwork all the way home.
Rossi was given the last hours drive ,, GG was hopping up and down wanting to put Molinari in for the last hour------- I wasn't about to allow that to happen.
That was when GG decided he was going to pair Renato and me together for the 1970 Paris race that we won but never did-----------'nuff said--------it's finished.
[QUOTE=jackie wilson;2371707]VERY Sorry to hear that........ As Steve S. is fond of saying the days are getting shorter and the time we have to get together and relive the glory days is more than precious.Quote:

[QUOTE=T2x;2371791]Thanks a lot Rich, knew damn well you wouldn't miss me at all-----i'll accept you would "notice my absence" !!!!!! It's one of the few times i really enjoy seeing all the friends i made over the years and reminding myself what a great life this is-------meeting the legends that were powerboating itself in the 60's/70's.Quote:

Y'know he's not a bad old fart at the end of the day-------he just gets a tad mixed up nowadays-----but he is a mine of Merc. history-------JUST THE FACTS MAAM---JUST THE FACTS !!!!!!! What was the name of that damn detective ????????Jack ???????????something or other. Help me out here Willa.
