Barry Woods is in for his toughest fight ever.
He is in the hospital with a severe stroke and hopefully he is coming out as a winner this time also.
I met Barry the first time at OMC in Belgium in the early seventies. We left together for the Amsterdam 3 hour race.
He is probably the hardest driver of us all. Idle speed or wide open..
Stay strong and get well soon my friend.
This picture shows Barry on his way to the victory lane in the #35 Velden/Evinrude V8.

When 2-stroke power and innovative technology come together, a beast is made!

I think it is Charlie Strang with Barry Woods. You can see the Evinrude Rotary engine in the background.

It looks like this may be Provo. The bucket doesn't have the carb jet removal hole and it has the modified V-4 14/23 gear case. July/Aug. 1973. Tommy Posey won thew race. You are correct; Barry and Charlie.
