    Congratulations Lasse...!!


    Today you accomplished a new record. Besides having the most read thread on Scream & Fly for another year, you now have a half million more views than the nearest other thread and that thread has been on Scream & Fly for 18 months longer than yours. I know that you do not consider this a competition, but achieving this says a lot about you. Well done....!!

    Have a coffee on me...

Later that year at the marathon nationals I finished second overall to Gene Landham’s twin wing, first S class with Hering & his Merc behind me.

    The thing I recall most about the stadium after seeing several incidents in front of the stands, when you approached you had to be ready for little air in front of the stands then again be ready as you were approached the end of them for the rapid increase lift. I also remember when you passed the island, you were basically out in the ocean, water conditions got very rough. Loved racing there though.

    That’s a very sophisticated looking tunnel boat and the article says it was a Kevlarjeanneau hull. Didn’t realize that they made anything other than sail boats but again I’m not the most alert person in the world. I have stood on the Banks of the seine river never have attended any races there, but just looking at it it must’ve been one hell of a race and it’s day the six hours of Paris. I don’t think that I would have the cojones to drive on that course. Bristol is another course that must be a bear. You have to respect all the European drivers for racing on these courses all the best Amberjack.

    A beautiful scene in the magic city. But what a shame for boat racing I recently inquired about what it would cost to rent the stadium for a boat race. They quoted me 4500 a day for the parking lot. No mention of water course or help don’t get me wrong. The people were helpful, but I don’t believe about race of the local scale that we used to run will ever happen in the Miami Marine Stadium again. May be a mega buck millionaires race of some sort but nothing like the outboard races of the 70s and the Bacardi, Mike, Gordon GN braces that took place. What a shame Amberjack.

    Tragic death Hank Bowman I remember reading his columns as a boy growing up. Very good writer, avid boat racer. I think that was a couple of years after they moved the races from pelican harbor to the stadium. It may have even been the first year. I had written my bicycle from our home in Coconut Grove over to the races to watch them.
