I think this could be an interesting thread by itself. I have collected a few patches myself and a bunch of images of patches I've seen on eBay and didn't buy.

Here are 2 that I am going to have the local taylor sew onto my cut suit this winter

[Mark75H]

Here's one I wish I had:

(if anyone has one of these to spare, I'd really appreciate it)

[Ron Hill]

David, are you still in California??? Where is your OLD MAN??? He didn't "CROOK" did he???

I know the ears are a little big, but being that they are Loopers, the ears need to be big to overcome the Looper sounds. What parent couldn't love a face like this? :p

Paul,

As you would expect, I have one of those Looper patches on my vintage Sid-Craft jacket that I wear to AOMCI meets.

[Mark75H]

I think Ron has one of these:

[Master Oil Racing Team]

I think Ron got his the year before I got mine. That is the one that goes on the back of a very nice racing windbreaker---about 8 inch diameter.

This one is the one that goes on the left pocket of a navy blue blazer. Great for awards banquets and conventions. They also gave us some stickers. All high quality awards.

Ron,

I am now in Houston, trying to convince my Mom & Dad to move from Pensacola, Fl. closer so they can take care of my kids (don't tell them that though!). Here is a recent pic with me and my Dad (Wil Pergande) at the Texas Motor Speedway this past fall.....Greg Bifle was honored to have a picture with us...hahaha! Saw Steve Desouza breifly there as well.

We are into go-kart racing, will post some pics in another section....Also, I have some old photos of him in his stock outboard days I will post as well. My Dad did retire 1/1/06, but has been consulting ever since.

Thanks,
David

Here is a pic of your Dad at Kaukauna 1976 just as he was heading out on a run that would bring him a new D Mod Hydro record.

He probably doesn't remember me, but my Dad & I always had a great time visiting with him at the annual conventions.

Hi David --
I used to race with your dad when I started racing in1967. He ran the stock classes plus the "Classic" , a run what ya brung class. He always ran REAL well. At the time he moved out of the midwest he was runing a E mod for a guy named Don Fletch. He mentioned me as a driver and I ran Don's boat for a couple of years. I've always appreciated that recommendation. Glad to hear dad's retired and looks like he's enjoying life.

I had two of these patches. One is gone. Gone to wherever the Quincy lifejacket it was attached to went. This one is still new. It has never been attached to anything.

[Original Looper 1]

Tim,

That is the nicest original Merc Quincy patch I've seen since they were brand new in the 60's. How did you ever preserve it so well?

For those of you out there that don't have a nice original like Tim's, Artie Neadeck of Quincy had copies made of the original for the 2003 memorial meet at Quincy honoring my father. I think, and Artie would have to verify this, that the recreated patches were made by the same company that made the originals in the 1960s, and they were made on the same machine as used back then. Wow!

Try contacting Artie at nneadeck@adams.net. It is my understanding that he may also have some of the recreated 1960's Quincy Flathead t-shirts that were also done in Quincy.

thanks,
Paul Christner

The Evinrude Strangler patches are very nice and I would say rarer than the
