Embassy GP/Bristol 1977.
Well..I was there racing OE/F3 with my Molinari/VPK.
This was one of the first big European races for Renato with Evinrude power. In my opinion Renato did nothing wrong. He got the result perfect.
Not only did he win the OZ class race with Evinrude CCC..Bob Hering was second with Johnson V6 RS.
On top of that Renato won the OE/F3 race with an Evinrude CC.
Renato did exactly what OMC hired him to do.
Bob Hering was hired by Renato to drive a second Saffa boat.
Same as Renato hired me to drive the second Saffa boat in Paris 1978.
I must do as Renato said or get another ride.

Bob Hering won the 1978 UIM OE World Championship race, still driving for Renato.
Hering's #457 Molinari even raced under the Italian flag. (second picture)
This is an interesting picture from the UIM OE World Championship race in Dayton, Ohio 1978.
Renato is using an after market midsection and a Merc gear case..Well..I guess it did not work out very good because Bob Hering won with a sister Molinari powered by a real OMC Mod 50/OE/F3 midsection gear case. Well Bob used a Johnson RS engine cover..
PS..I dont think Jack Leek next to Renato's engine is very happy with Renato's "home made" stuff..!!

This is Chattanooga, Tenn. in 1983.
Jimbo is preparing to take Willard Scott on a ride in the 2-seat Press Boat. A Special Lifeline Jacket and Helmet were ordered for him. It was the largest Life jacket they had ever made. Willard Scott was a Very Big Man.
He just passed away. Our thoughts are with his family and friends. RIP.

Yes, it's me with my 1980's curly hair style. Ken and Bob presented me with their Parker 9 hour jacket at the awards banquet, still cherish it.
