Again I’m Not readingThe MPh Correctly. I had a chance to meet in a race against A very young Benny Robertson in the Miami Marine Stadium and the nationals it was either 72 or 73 they have been 74 I can’t remember when I had my little Molinero with the blue stripe twister. I think I ran Mid back Of the front runners like him and Thorton And Reggie. That was the old U class What is now SST 100. Back down the boat speeds were probably in the high 90s. What a great time!!

Brian Hervat Photo of Barry Woods accident in Toledo.
Tiffany Woods I’m amazed that he’s still alive after all of these “incidents”.

The development of safety cell cockpits speaks for itself. Barry's crashes look awful but other than bruises, no major harm done. Ironically, after years of flying private jets, Barry would suffer a stroke while doing a preflight check. Another miracle is that Barry did not get airborne before his stroke. Jimbo McConnell's stuffing in Sacramento would have turned out entirely different if his boat had a safety cell cockpit? Bob Spalding (Burgess) and Velden / Mostert (Velden) were the first V8's to run at Sacramento with cells. That's what made Jimbo's accident bittersweet. I think 1985 was the last time F1 was run without mandated safety cells.
