He will be one of a few old timers that have been invited by the guys of AMF. Thanks John Haggin.

Rocky, Bob Saccenti, Jerry Gilbreath, John Bochis, Billy Martin, Charlie McCarthy, Rich Luhrs and George Linder.

Hope to see the many fans of offshore racing and HORBA members there. www.historicraceboats.com

Here is the program cover of the Benihana race the year after Bobby Saccenti won it in a monster of a boat.....the 44 foot MSV shown on the cover.

Bobby was the first winner of the race when it was sponsored by Benihana.

I grew up in NJ and loved going to the Pt. Pleasant races every summer! Rocky was always a true competitor.

I still have 2 mint condition programs from the early 80's from the PT. Pleasant races
