Doesn't sound like the happiest tale.
The OOD, John Iddon was involved in a car crash on the way to the event and hospitalised.
Then both Saturday and Sundays races had to be canceled due to the weather

just a up date

Mike Jame has been working hard again with more information on old race boat and John Moore has been busy putting the information on the COPOC site
Well done chaps

Here's a thing!

Mike James, “Thunderbolt” on this forum I think, is writing 1960's Offshore Racing History by the day to go onto the Classicoffshore.com website.

I have noticed that some UK “old timers” are posting on boatmad.com regarding the old, old stuff.

Having “trawled” through some of the US forums, I see that they have been doing it for a few more years!

Could we set up a thread, whereby historians, ex-racers etc. could post their memories, stories, and then "write the stuff up" to make the Classicoffshore.com website to be a “'virtual' offshore powerboat racing museum”?

[Rupert Munro]

it could easily be done on here - ben could add another sections headed, say, Racing Memoirs or something, would be an amazing resource to keep hold of the old stories

[ciao]

Great ! Ben you are the guv here!

[Ben Mazur]

Sounds like a good idea but my omnipotence doesn't extend quite that far.

The site administrator would need to set that up. I'm but a mere moderator.

[Tony Fiddy]

Ben how about it ,can you set up a new Thread to cover the old boats
If you can it would be great

Tony,

Bit slow off the mark! Try looking at the bottom of the forums list!

We already have two- HORBA and Racing Memoirs. Three might be a bit excessive.
