"Yes" was confirming that it was Jeff. Then that he could no longer compete with tunnels with trim into the wind in the kneel-down. It was still faster through turns and fast enough downwind, but you can only lean so far forward!!!Quote:

UIM OE class racing 1975.
I found this german article from the European championship race in Brodenbach.
WOW..memories are flying..In May we raced the World title in Aix-les-Bain, France and Roger Jenkins won (defended his 1974 title) in his #1 Burgess/Johnson.
(See smaller article)..we both used a very powerful OMC race engine but my Burgess was 4 inch shallow in the tunnel instead of Jenkins 6 inch. Paul Kalb ordered my Burgess this way. Very fast but impossible the race. ( I crashed bad at the OMC in early May and the boat was repaired for Brodenbach.
Rain and strong wind/waves ruin our weekend in Brodenbach.
Both Roger and me broke down. I now see I ended up 10th.
Hans-Georg Krage did a great race and won in is hydro.

I cant find a good color picture of the 6 inch shallow tunnel Roger raced 1975 (above), but the paint scheme looked similar to this 1974 OE class boat.
If I remember right it was a Milesmaster built by David Burgess. My 4 inch tunnel was one of the first Burgess boats built by David.

Lars, in 1974 and 1975 was European OE the same as North American SE (stock gearcase with F/N/R) or was OE the same as North American MOD 50 (racing gearcase Forward only)?
The engine on Roger's boats look like stock 15" mid short shafts. I know the Merc 650XS was an SE engine and the Merc 650X was our North American MOD 50.
The UIM OE class was a pure racing class. No limitations at all. Free boat and engine. Max 850 cc. Even the fuel was free.Quote:

1975 OMC made a few more real pure race engines for the UIM OE class Roger & I raced.
1976 was the first year OMC started to sell the CC for the OE class.
This is Hans-Georg Krage in a UIM OE class boat 1974/75
Yes he used nitro in the methanol also. It was legal at that time.

Pretty sure this is one of the two OMC real UIM OE class race engines in Europe 1975.
Jenkins raced one and I the other one. We could only use them at a few races.
This picture is from Cardiff 1975 and its not a production mid section. This mid section used a racing gearcase without shifting.
