Most people know I was very disappointed with the old top management/marketing at BRP Evinrude Division.
The new leader for Evinrude Outboards is Tracy Crocker and he hit the ground running making changes since almost day one. The old Marketing guy is gone. Improving production quality is top priority and 10 year warranty.
Tracy and Krista Sparks is going to be a good team.
Please watch this video for Evinrude dealers.

Francois Salabert of France.
This is from Leon, Spain.
The first race in the F1-V8 series 1982. This was also Francois first race with the same V8 power as the other two JPS boats driven by Tom Percival and Bob Spalding.
Francois did extremely good and finished second in this race with his brand new #12 Velden Racing/JPS/Johnson V8 3.5 liter 2 stroke looper.
Yes, I was there racing F3 and did little bit better than Francois.

Rob Wood in his #24 Velden/Evinrude V8 3.0 liter 2 stroke, looper with  fuel injection and a 6 inch midsection.

First victory in the F1 race Toledo, OHIO 1989.

This is from the OE class European Championship race in Denmark 1981.
I raced my #1 Burgess/AKAI/Evinrude CC and a really tough fight with Ulrich Rochel in his #20 Burgess/Konig boxer 6 cylinder. After a weekend racing the 4 heats
and some technical issues for me Ulrich won and I came in second.
Micheal Werner in his Molinari/Merc was third.
John Hill in his #52 Burgess/Johnson was fourth but got disqualified.
Sorry for Danish only but picture and result is easy to understand.
The second picture is my boat in that race.
Thanks to Jorgen Jorgenson.

“Probably the best driver in the world”
