    Nice. Very well put together. Thanks. First time I saw Guido Cappellini I had a feeling this guy would be good. Ten world championships later, I think I nailed it.

      Mercury was about politics. The cowards wouldn't show up when OMC showed up with the rotary engines.

    great memory's
    its sad tunnel boat racing never got to be as popular as
    stock car ....
    when i think
    it is, was, and
    will always be the most amazing sport of all time!

      never heard of any 24 hour race as Havasu. Just the OB World Championships. Ken won the Bahamas race in '82, my first race ever.

      Just wonderful, I been tryin to find out about "california boat registration lookup" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Ever heard of - Siyichael Mysterious Smasher - (search on google )? It is a great exclusive guide for discovering how to get a cheap boat title report minus the hard work. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my partner got great results with it.

    What about the Switzer wing which gave mercury a big lead in racing?

    My uncle raced in Parker 9 Hr Enduro in the 70's. He ran a pickle fork and a Switzer back then. Good times.

    People seems to forget about Art Kennedy

      I used to travel as crew in HS. The owner of the boats competed with the KG40 burning fuel and had the US record for the traps at around 80+ mph for D class hydro. I remember there were Seybolds driving in the early '50's and I remember a Black guy, who was pretty good and wonder if his name was Kennedy? I think he had a Jacoby at Lake Norfork.
