I talked to John Bakos yesterday and Odell Lewis today. Both will be at OFF2014, 13-16 Nov in Tavares FL. - Steve Sirois

He may not BE that old, but he sure LOOKS it. :-)

Charlie - Great to see you again at Tavares. Even greater to read your stories here. Thanks for all you have done for the remembrance of the good old days. - Steve Sirois

Once again Rich finds just the right words to express the feelings that so many of us felt. It just doesn't get any better. - Steve Sirois

OFF is ON Sorry about the confusion Folks. Some of the confusion results because we are actually doing two consecutive separate and yet mutual things. We are trying to wrap OFF around the OPA World Championship Offshore Race. Let me see if I can clear a few things up. As is to be expected of...

OFF2012, Jim’s Dream Realized, 18-21 October 2012 Most of you know that OFF (Old Farts Forever, Old Friends Forever, or whatever) was the creation of Jim Hauser. Inspired by Brownie’s 2008 Legends of Offshore party, which ran in conjunction with Charlie McCarthie’s offshore race, Jim conceived...

Hi Paul - Sorry I can't help you with any info on that particular boat. I ran in 1967, 68, 69 Bahama 500s. In 1971 I was in USAF Pilot Training. Of course my brother Bill did run throttles for Doug Silvera as they won overall in the 1971 Bahama 500 in Starduster. I would think that Charlie...

CIAO - WOW! You just took me 43 years back in time. My brain has the itch...too bad my body can't. - Steve Sirois

It is with extreme sorrow that we all lost a true friend yesterday in the person of Jim Hauser. I first met Jim at Lake X in 1964. He worked for many years with the Kiekhaefer Mercury Corporation. He also served in the US Army and, while in Viet Nam, he suffered a severe stab wound in...

Looks like Jim is going to do auction only. Too busy to post anything today. Photos at screamandfly....forums....OFF2011. We are having more fun than should be legal. Gotta go now. Heading to Cadillacs. - Steve Sirois

Here it is. Motorized remote control, approx 3' long, signed by crew, in glass case. Not sure yet if auction or lottery for this beauty.

Nice try, but no cigar. Although I will tell you that whatever it is, it is signed.

OFF2011 AUCTION PROCEDURES It is now 10:45 Tuesday night. On my way home from a late meeting, Jim Hauser called me to tell me that OFF has been cancelled…..JUST KIDDING ☺. But hopefully that got your attention. What he really told was that we have received another substantial item for our...

Underwear Change !!! The idea was to run boat for straightaway record. Had to finish top 3 in race in order to qualify for speed run. Won 1st place in Bahamas race with 6 powerheads. Ran for record with 8. One powerhead handgrenaded and shrapnel punctured gas tank or line. Started fire. Few...
