One item still on my bucket list is to go to Auz to see the ski racing.

Our guys over here building killer drag motors.
Over there they pull up two slalom skiers and hold their foot on the floor for an hr !

I can’t even fathom that.

Thanks for the video Lars.

Gotta love a 'rocker bottom' in FULL flight (and a Glastron-Moliari at that!).

Got the chance to test a couple of the Glastron-Molinaris. They were kind of obsolete at the time but a wonderful boat to drive. Would like to have been able to race one.

Got this picture from Mats Lindstedt yesterday..a friend of mine in Sweden..not very sharp.

PARIS 6 Hours 1975

After Lorentz Näslund and I finished third in Paris 1974..we where now ready for a win in the OE class.
My Nacka Asfalt/Clerici/Evinrude SE boat was well prepared for the race..
The entry form was in time to Mr. Blodinare..
Race number 69.
Well..a good start don’t help when you hit something a few laps later and break the gear case at the far end of the race course..
Two hours to get back to the pit and the race was over..
We left Paris for a Evinrude dealer meeting on the Canary Islands
My friend Per Benson took Lorentz van and my boat back to Sweden..
I told Per.. please remember to stamp the Carne ATA document out of France..
He forgot that and a letter from OMC came later in the mail ..
My dream of winning Paris 6 hours was still a dream
This was also the last Paris with Lorentz as a co-pilot.

Just an update from last week..yes it is Evinrude cowling, mid-section, gear-case, transom-bracket/powertrim etc. in a big way.
Its from Hurtigruten - Frydenbø Marine
Two Norwegian companies.
