Merc's were probably T-3's. Who won?

Johnny Sanders driving an OMC 2l V-6 on a Scotti.

I am also interested to know the answer.
Not sure when the T2X came out but know the OMC race V-6 came out late 1973.

The first TII-X in Canada was 1974, so I would guess mid 1973 in the USA.

I wonder what Ferguson thought about Merc calling their motors Twisters?

Well not sure but I guess this was before Merc used the name Twister.
There is a Twister cat built in Finland also but they started after Merc called race engines Twister.
