That is a Velden display boat. At one of the Boat Shows……could be Chicago, Detroit or New York City. The poster in the background is “Evinrude Salutes the ‘76 Champions”.

Just for the record Lars……
You are correct, Jimbo never ran #4. Jimbo ran #191 most all the time. However, he also ran #30 on occasion. He ran #30 in Lake Havasu in 1969, 1970 and 1971. Prior to that he ran #S33 in 1967 and #45 in 1968. He also ran #3 in Sacramento in 1983 when he won the race. He also ran #3 in Formula 1, until he changed to #30, because of some inside Company decisions. The reason he was switching numbers was because the computers could not work with 3 digit numbers. However, he did run #191 in Pittsburg. In the Unlimited he ran #U19. Number #191 was the favorite number and set many records and won many races. Unfortunately, when he crashed in Sacramento in 1985 he was running #30. After the crash that ended his career, APBA retired #191 in the OPC class.

Need to clarify that this was many years ago back in the 80s and we sold out to Southern Wine and spirits 1984 they are now the largest wholesale liquor distributor in the United States.
