“Havasu – OMC race history”..

Published by:

I am trying to get some more info about the “Havasu OMC race history”..
(the reunion is coming up in about a month)
Need to ask the “Queen of boat racing history Cathy McConnell“..
I think Jimbo McConnell drove his #191 Molinari/Evinrude V6 CCC 3 liter looper to victory 1979..or was it 1980??.
Not sure about his co-pilot but pretty sure Cathy can help out. (Looks like it was Johnny Sanders.
Thanks in advance.

Cathy McConnell

1979.
He also won the race in 1980 and 1981. 3 years in a row. He had Johnnie as co-driver in 1979 and no co-driver in 80 and 81.
