Paris 1974

Stewart Duthie

Boat 34 Clive Curtis and Bill Badsey with the scoop we fitted to increase intake pressure , we brought the scoop with piping fuel pumps and pressure valves from SA where we raced at 6000 ft of altitude. We blew the reed valve gaskets after about 3 hrs and had to retire, however we won at Windermere two weeks later.
This was the Paris race in which Cesare Scotti crashed and died.

#30 and #26 look like they might be OMC 2-litre V6's

Right behind the ON 26 is the 03 Evinrude rotary with Woods driving. O2 was Johnson with Posey driving.

This picture is from The Race of Champions at the Miami Marine Stadium 1975 by Bill Muncey.

First time I found a picture of Paul Kalb. (white hat looking at the camera) He was the racing boss at OMC Belgium. Also Jimbo McConnell in the picture. Not sure about the other ones.

People who helped

Think I help control that race back in the day probably a lady named Jenny Schlick And Jeff Titus his wife Sally were instrumental in helping put that race on it’s time keepers or scorers. I sure wish the national treasure like the Marine Stadium at least be restored or preserved properly. I know that a group tried to get organized and do something with it while I was away in federal reeducation. But I guess it all got stalled. Oh well as the old Expression

Paul along with Jim Wagner were part of the Jack Leek/Charlie Strang clique.
