    Bernie—for many years I had ALL the Speed Age magazines he mentions—there were several great articles by Charlie about the Chrysler they ran in 1951

    Bernie - What a great piece of history. It makes for fascinating reading. I hope that you do not mind, but I went ahead and cleaned up and enlarged the pages so that others could read them as well. Thanks again...!!

    Bob V. THANK YOU! I am very poor at posting stuff, a single picture maybe, but this was crude to say the least. Only thing missing on that manuscript was ECK's intials or signature but I believe he wrote it. Found it in a trash pallet with all the snowmobile literature, sevice memos', interplant emos.eetc, which I couldn't save. Lost to the ages now.

    Bernie - This is amazing...!! I have read it a couple of times and am fascinated with the mindset going on especially knowing that this dates back to 1952. The part where "Korf is holding his own despite the loss of his co-pilot during a 70 mile per hour turn" is beyond priceless. If you have any thing else that you want to post, I would be glad to assist...Bob

    Thanks Jim--but I found a couple pics from the 1951 race--

    I think that was his first venture into car racing?

    The year was 1951--THE KOREAN WAR.

    Outboard production was limited--because of a lack of aluminum--

    Hi Bob--

    Gene - I have attached a link below for the first part of Operation Mexico for anyone that wants to read it. It is great reading with many good photos. Click on the link and then scroll up to the top to the beginning...

    Just like the letter says; Teams with lower budgets got NASCAR to change the rules 2 years in a row making it harder for Kiekhaefer to remain the top dog. The second year, Kiekhaefer said Adios!

    Thats are there is to it.
