Well..Jackie Wilson of UK was as always in a great mood telling stories we never heard before.
His son Mark is little more soft spoken than dad and I really enjoy hearing Marks side of his bad F1-V8  accident in Casale, Italy  1983..
I was there racing but did not know exactly what happen that early Sunday morning.

Everywhere I go  Bert Serra is there. Thanks Bert for putting up with us.

After four hours it was time for my wife Carina and I to leave..but John and Bert
was still in the bar talking about Merc in line six horse power..Schubert was pretty sure an Evinrude V-4 Super Strangler had more dyno horses..

Thanks again for accepting this lost Swede in to the old boys boat racing history
I was close to write old outboard racing history..but “inboard Jackie Wilson”
maybe feel a little bit on the outside if I do….!!
