Coming out of the closet

..

It’s OK Lars I know you’re from Svedberg But it’s OK to be a closet dolly fan. I bet you’ve been to Dollywood and had a good time. We claim her as a national treasure breast reductions and all. Of course we kidnap Shania Twain from the Canadians and claim her also. Thank you for the videos ever get to South Florida passed Stuart the ritzy section and managed to get down to the poor section in Palm Beach County. Holler at me I’m not as country as Olegator but I still like banjosAnd Burt Reynolds

Well..first Dolly is a very interesting person..she is one of few who can say anything and get away with it.

Second..for now my favorite female actor by a mile is "Beth" in Yellowstone..

Good advice

I cannot disagree with you. You should listen to some Martina McBride for Patsy Cline. If you want to talk about somebody that can get away with saying just about anything let’s talk Willie Nelson my favorite song of his right now is roll me up and smoke me when I die. Occasionally I listen to ABBA when I’m into my old rock mood. All the best. I still like Kevin Costner also.

Back on topic..

APBA SST 60. Not sure where, when and who is driving..
Pretty sure its a Burgess tunnel.
This SST 60 class is pretty much the SE class.

How do they keep this class going? Those motors have not been produced in decades. Parts must be real scarce. I guess a good machine shop can make anything but must get expensive. Not very many races for them anymore either.

Sea-Way Marine - Greg Jacobsen have all the parts and service.

A few more SST 60..

December 13 is Saint Lucia day in Sweden. "Sankta Lucia" wears a crown of candles and is escorted by girls in white with a red sash and "star boys" they bring light and song.
I was a "star boy" many times as a young boy.
More important..December 13 was also my mother Maud's birthday. She is not with us anymore but December 13 is always going to be special for me.
Picture shows my father Roland, mother Maud and me. I think 1974.
Watch the video..

My friend John Tiger, owner of Tiger Outboards have a beautiful in new condition Johnson SST 60 engine in his living room.
Very cool.

If you look close I'll bet there's a hose and a flusher in the corner so he can start that up when the wife is out! Scentsy doesn't make any wax blocks in "2 stroke exhaust", gotta improvise

Well..It could be the other way around..Johns wife Laura works in the outboard shop and is very good at restoring outboards.
There is also an Evinrude V4 Super Strangler in their living room..

I would think an sst 60 rig should be pretty fast. I the 1970s SE boats were running in the mid to high 70mph range routinely. This was done with 12% less displacement and stock factory gearcase shapes.

Almost, but not quite.............just a breath away from a Mod 50 package but I had no idea the SST60 gearcase was way different than an SE gearcase?

Another fact..!!

There was four drivers using the F1-V8 Gold Team/Benson & Hedges sponsorship.
