Lars Strom is at Holme Pierrepont Canoe Club.
Nottingham, United Kingdom
Holme Pierrepont rowing lake outside Nottingham was the perfect place for tunnel boat racing.
1981 was my second year racing there in the UIM OE/F3 class and it was a major racing war with UK’s great John Hill.
This is the start in one of four heats over the weekend.
#52 John Hill in his Burgess/Evinrude is already on the way..in this starting picture
I guess my #1 red Burgess/AKAI/Evinrude was a bit slow to get going but very fast at the end of the very long straight aways.
After two days of racing..(four heats) the Viking was on top after swimming in one heat.
Great memories and I am not sure who should get the picture credit.
Thanks
