Somewhere on BRF, I talk about the Slotted Deck Scotti and the 1972 Paris Six Hour. JImbo and I both agree that was the worst Scotti ever built, It is the Scotti you and Bill Muncey drove at Parker when the steering wheel came off or something...
The "High Rider" Molinari was a fun boat to drive...and if I'm not mistaken, had YOU not broken the steering that year (197)) we'd have had a two three finish...
Few thing make me mad...Jimbo and Ted driving the 191 at Parker 1973...now that made me mad! I keep this poster on my wall of my office, so I won't forget why I was mad at Jimbo!!!
Today we lost a very good friend of ours..
Bob Morgan lost his life in a Powerboat racing accident in Key West.
So did Jeff Tillman.
R.I. P.
Picture show Bob and my wife Carina a few weeks ago..
So very sad to hear that Lars. God bless the families of Bob Morgan and Jeff Tillman. May they rest in peace.
Thank you Wayne.

Boatracing must be safer..!!
Condolences to the familys
But dare I say a repeat of the guys in Dubai, the boats are not yet designed properly
The forces on the deck/canopies seem to be still underestimated
What a sad waste of men in what should have been a survivable accident
John:
Look on HRTV. Dan has put several links up and some video.
