More UIM F1-V8 racing from Idroscalo, Italy 1983. The perfect place for boat racing.

Yes, thats me standing up in the #8 Aspen/Burgess/Evinrude V8.
Dont remember exactly why the other boat is upside down..looks like Renato Molinari but not sure.
My guess is a collision with another boat. Not me but if I remember right Rick had some damage to his beautiful black #6 Burgess.
One more thing..this was also the race when I got my first heat win in F1-V8 racing.
I am getting to that..
Thank you so much to Paolo Moro for the pictures..(I have more unseen pictures)

One Evinrude CCC & two Johnson RS in the Drammen GP 1980.

All three OMC racing engines was 3 liter V6 loopers, with fuel injection. (Pure racing engines)

Of course the Evinrude was a bit faster and won the UIM OZ class..😀
