F1-V8 racing in Casale Monferrato, Italy 1983.
The #15 Castrol boat next to me (8) is Allan Nimmo in Renato’s former titanium boat.
This was my first year in the F1-V8 series and the second race.
The first one was Como, Second race in Ampolla, Spain was cancelled..so this race was my second race of 1983.
Fabrizio Bocca’s dad was one of the race organizers.
(A pretty good river race in the deep woods of Italy)

Rick Frost #6 Burgess/Johnson V8.

My #8 Aspen/Burgess/Evinrude getting ready to race.
