Here is the poster Billy signed for my friend Bo Nilsson at Miami Boat Show 1987.
Same time she signed my brother Lennart's and mine..
I have misplaced mine and pretty sure Lennart's is gone long time ago..(not by him but his wife)..:)

This is a very interesting picture in many ways..
Its from Leon, Spain early 1982 and the first F1-V8 race for the season.
Far away from everything up in the mountains of Spain.
#9 Roger Jenkins brand new Carlsberg/Burgess raced for the first time.
You can see the boat builder David Burgess next to the brand new boat.
Renato came with his brand new Martini/Molinari - titanium boat and took the lead..after a few laps Renato was heading for the shoreline..the boat was taking on water and he was forced the beach the fancy very expensive race boat..
Roger Jenkins won..and surprised everybody.. A proud David Burgess and Roger invited us for champagne after the race.
Great memories..!!

As most of you know, Needles, California is where Jimbo and I grew up. It is where we live now……we came “home” after his accident. It is a VERY Old town with lots of History. Each year the Needles Regional Museum produces a Historical Calendar. This 2025 calendar is the 39th year. Every year contains monthly photos from the past. This year has three months that have a connection to Boat Racing. The one old store photo, from 1947, has a Boat Race poster on the left side. Then a 1969 photo of me in the Needles Marathon Powder Puff Race. The third photo shows the Evinrude Motor that was given away in a Bass Derby in the 1952 - 1953 event. Needles has always had a connection to Racing. https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/e...1/16/1f3c1.png

1969 JUNEAU, ALASKA to KEY WEST, FLORIDA RECORD RUN
A recent post featured J.E. Hoag’s 1925 crossing of the United States with Evinrude power which was, of course, quite remarkable for that time. But perhaps even more adventuresome was Bill & Kathy Dimond’s 8,338 mile Juneau to Key West journey in 1969 which was the longest run attempted by outboards. As the ad points out, their journey went from arctic-cold fresh water to tropical-warm salt water. It included every kind of boating from rivers, to streams, to lakes, to canals - across the entire country- and down the Atlantic coast. Twin, loop-charged Evinrude Triumph 55’s powered their 20-foot Glastron V-201 for this remarkable adventure. While the outboards were stock, the boat hull was beefed-up for this punishing endurance adventure.

Hi all! I just wanted to introduce myself. Here is a shot that some of the old time OMC racers may remember. I’m the one in the middle.
The only Mercury guy in the shot.
Anyone know the other four?
