Outboard Racing

Wow..My first visit to Lake of the Ozarks was 1993.

I did not know they run the Unlimited Hydroplanes here already 1983.

Got this from a friend of mine tonight

I finally found the pictures of Renato Molinari’s big crash during the UIM OZ class World Championship race in Chasewater, UK 1978.

Renato drove his #20 Molinari/Saffa with the brand new Evinrude V6 CCC 3 liter looper with fuel injection.His brakes failed when he was leading the race..Renato was lucky and “walked away” from this unhurt..

Well..it took Jonas 15 years to show the world he and his team are the very best.

Winning the two races in Portugal and the World Title today. Jonas is the boat builder, engine builder, team owner & driver.

A very unique combination in today’s racing. He showed the world..”old school racing” still works.

Congratulations to Team Sweden.

Some pictures from Wilfried Weiland.

Thank you.

UIM F1 World Champ Jonas Andersson got a warm “Welcome Home” in his little home town Frövi, Sweden.

Only problem..freezing cold..12 degree F…

Secrets..secrets..this is how Renato Molinari kept his boat racing developments away from the competition.After the F1-V8 boat was in the water his team took the “cover” off.Put it back on before lifting the boat out of the water..

This is F1-V8 racing 1983. Not sure where but before London
