Default Mercury Racing Jacket

How many remember these ?? Found this in a 32 year old box in my attic yesterday. It's in great shape for being that old. This was when Offshore Racing was Offshore Racing !!! How many of you were at these races ??

I have one of those somewhere. Stan the big question is.......Can you still fit in it?

Would be nice to get the boys together for one more run in the open ocean before we all hit the nursing home. Steve Berk are you listening?

I was at most of them used to walk the parking lot at the Kings Grant Inn, then watch you guys go out the inlet.Most people don't know how long these races were. My Dad and I used to fish off the beach waiting for everyone to come back around.

Anyone know where to get a Benihana Offshore Grand Prix vintage T-shirt? A reprint would be pretty cool.
