Well..Jackie Wilson of UK was as always in a great mood telling stories we never heard before..!!..:)
His son Mark is little more soft spoken than dad and I really enjoy hearing Marks side of his bad F1-V8 accident in Casale, Italy 1983..
I was there racing but did not know exactly what happen that early Sunday morning.

Everywhere I go Bert Serra is there. Thanks Bert for putting up with us.
After four hours it was time for my wife Carina and I to leave..but John and Bert
was still in the bar talking about Merc in line six horse power..Schubert was pretty sure an Evinrude V-4 Super Strangler had more dyno horses..
Thanks again for accepting this lost Swede in to the old boys boat racing history
I was close to write old outboard racing history..but “inboard Jackie Wilson”
maybe feel a little bit on the outside if I do….!!

John Schubert in his #44 Scotti/Evinrude V4 Super Strangler 1632cc finished third in Parker 1973. His co-pilot was no other then Bill Muncey..:cheers:

He made his own Evinrude V8 cowling and also a new shorter mid section.
OMC did not like that and told him not to use it anymore.
1985 OMC made there own 6 inch mid section.

The real one from 1984.

November 1st. 40 years in business.
Today is 40 years ago we established MOLGAARD MARINE (MOLGAARD RACING) as a company for race boat development and production. 40 years of continous development and hard work, many successes and highlights. Thank you customers and friends for the good time spent together.

Well it really started 1975..when Christian Mollgaard surprised the Penta world by winning big with his own built #5 SD class boat powered by an Evinrude 50 HP.
The second picture show Christian and me after his big win in Torsby, Sweden 1975.

Attachment 3911721974+75 was when we began to get the D motors to work on tunnel boats in the US. I was involved with one such effort and it went pretty well. Ed Hauptner also had a good running tunnel. The 2 best running D class boats in the US were still V-bottoms but by 1976 the tunnels took over. I am pretty sure Ed won Nationals and set a record or 2 in the later70s, In 1975 we were topping out at about 62mph on a closed course boat. What kind of pace were you guys getting over in Europe?

Was that picture taken at lake Hollingsworth?

Yes.

I work in Lakeland and drive around that lake every day, raced there back in the late 70’s early 80’s.

Johnson GT - 115 on an Allison. Sanders driver with Alan Yaw owner.

Attachment 391174Attachment 391175

Was that boat green and gold? There was a green and gold Allison with a GT-115 at the 68 Nationals in Miami. Ran pretty well as I recall.

I do not remember that but Christian Mollgaard made the cat superior to the V-hull with his win in Torsby, Sweden 1975.

Renato Molinari and his racing buddy Carlo Colombo in boat 65 and 61.
Not sure why Renato use #65 instead of 165 on his beautiful Ferrari red Molinari/Evinrude 2 stroke F1-V8 racing outboard 3.5 liter looper.

The "old" style SD class boat with the Swedish Archimedes/Penta outboard but Christian Mollgaard changed the class to cats and a different engine with his win 1975.
