How many OMC factory drivers are left? Hering, Hauenstein, McConnel? (Not including the V8 circuit)

[Rotary John]

Are Johnny Sanders, James Beard, Mike Downard still with us? I don't think Fredie drove as a factory driver, only as an independent

@Rotary John

Well..I talked to Cathy last night and Johnny Sanders is doing great 87 or 88 years old. Jimbo turned 80 some time ago.
Mike Downard is active on my FaceBook page.
I see Hering posting on Facebook sometimes.
James Beard left us many years ago.

PS..Cathy also told me Jimbo drove over 30 different Molinari boats over the years..

[John Schubert]

Well, I’m still here at 86, Ron Hill is still with us & so is Geoff Briggs.
