Three Rivers Regatta in Pittsburgh 1982.
This race was the first F1-V8 event in the U.S. and I was there watching.
I have never seen so many spectators and was told over 300,000..!!
The event was a great success and at the end of the weekend Renato Molinari took the big check to the bank Monday morning.
I went back to Europe and after a long meeting with George Lamy at OMC we had a deal for me to race the F1-V8 world series 1983 including the two U.S. races. (Minneapolis and Pittsburgh)

This is one of the greatest posters ever.
Probably one of the best drivers ever also.
Well done Roger Jenkins.

Like the good old days..
Bertil Wik is smiling and enjoying a fun day boating at the Stuart waterways.
My Evinrude E-TEC hat is fitting him perfect.
Two former Evinrude F1-V8 drivers..The only to Swedes that ever raced the most powerful 2 stroke V8 outboard engine built.
Thanks for visiting us Bertil.

At the Evinrude factory in Wisconsin.
This was very fun to see outside the BRP/ Evinrude Outboard factory.
I am one of very few that has raced the Evinrude F1-V8 engine.
This bronze statue is the 1985 model with 6 inch midsection and fuel injection

I meet Arthur last year in Tavares, FL during the annual classic boat racing meeting, but forgot to ask him.
It's Arthur to the left of me.
