New QuincyLooperRacing.US web site is up

[Original Looper 1]

Hi Everyone,

After many months of hard work, we are finally launching the new, official O. F. Christner/family, Quincy Welding/Looper web site that at

http://quincylooperracing.us

You can also reach the site by going to http://quincywelding.com

As we were going through the process of setting up the web site, we came to realize that this site should be more than just about Quincy Welding. Our father loved outboard racing, especially engine development, and dedicated his life to the sport we all love.

Therefore, we have made the new QuincyLooperRacing.US site into more of a history of kneel down outboard racing. We have a section dedicated to racing drivers that we call Racing Legends. We have a history of Konig vs Quincy section. (A Yamato/McKean section is coming.) There's a huge section called Memorabilia that has many old photos, old race programs, Rooster Tails, Hydroplane Quarterly & Propeller magazine articles. Johnny Dortch's page includes many of the racing pictures from his personal photo album, covering the 1940's until his racing retirement in the 1980's. We have a section dedicated to antique outboard engine collections that has some of the most outstanding restored racing engines that I've personally ever seen.

We expect that there will be many other pictures and contributions added as people have promised and committed to include their history on this site. Thanks to Johnny Dortch, we have hundreds of Rooster Tails, old race programs and other racing memorabilia we will be adding in the months ahead. We also look forward to receiving contributions from those of you in the racing community that would like to donate your pictures and information to the site.

At this time we would like to give a special thanks to several people for their contributions in information, pictures, web site assistance, etc:
Johnny Dortch, Jeff Lytle, Wayne Baldwin, Tim Chance, Tom Schmidt, Mark Suter, Artie Neadeck, Dan Crabtree, R C Hawie, Bob Dunlap, Dick Ollhoff, Mike Schmidt, Ed Thirlby, Jim McKean, Sam Cullis, Bill Seebold, Roger Dykehouse, Roger Hinsdale, Gene East, Terry Topjun and Ron Hill.

Sorry, but temporarily we will not have a comment/bulletin board at this new site, as the person building the bulletin board currently has health issues. Please feel free, until the Quincy forum is ready, to leave your comments regarding the new QuincyLooperRacing.US site on the forums at
http://www.Boatracingfacts.com under the Quincy Welding, Loopers and More section
or
The Boat Racer's Pit Stop at http://b4.boards2go.com/boards/board...=swampcridders

Special note to people using dial up Internet connections: Due to the large number of pictures on some of the pages, you may have to wait a couple of minutes for certain pages to load. Please be patient, we think you will find the pictures are worth the wait.

Please come to the new Quincy site and spend some time. Enjoy!


Thanks,

Paul A and Diane Christner

Hi Stover,

His name was Homer Kincaid, mayor of Carbon Cliff, IL. Raced service classes but also raced several of the other (alky) pro classes. I raced against him in Depue at the 1968, 69 & 70 nationals. I won in 69 in COH & I think he was 2nd. Actually he won the 1st heat, I was 2nd, I won the 2nd heat but he was further back.

Stover - Here is a photo I took of you at the APBA Stock Nationals in Beloit, Wisconsin in 1970 with your BSR.

The other one is a photo of Homer Kincaid taken about 1965 driving a 2-cylinder C Konig. Homer drove all Pro classes, but in the later years he concentrated on C Runabout and Hydro and then just C Hydro. I ran against him four times in 1969 with 4-cylinder C Konig's, The score was Homer - 3; Tim - 1. He was tough. John Kincaid is continuing the family tradition running SE in NBRA. . - Tim Chance

Homer also has the distinction of being the only racer to sweep every class one day. That was back around 1960. When I find the article I'll scan it and post it on BRF.

Thanks to everyone that left such positive comments on this and other sites regarding the new Quincy site. To say that there has been interest and inquiries is an understatement. We are trying to get back to everyone as quickly as we can.

I want to personally thank those that contributed to the building of the web site for their contributions in pictures, history, etc. A special thanks to Jeff Lytle for making a spectacular header for the new Quincy web site. A special thanks also to Mark Suter for taking all of the individual pictures of his fabulous racing engine collection and writing up such thorough commentary for each engine. We know it took a lot of dedication and talent to research the history of every engine.

We are already receiving new pictures and people to add to the racing legends section. Sam Cullis just emailed us the original Quincy Looper patents to post. As soon as we can get back to the scanner, we have more Quincy Welding race photos never posted before and lots of Rooster Tails for you.

We welcome contributions and encourage everyone to send more as this site is for all of us racing buffs, not just Quincy Welding fans. Anzani, Champion, Konig and Yamato fans are encouraged to add your contributions too. Whatever you ran, if it was kneel down boat racing, we'd like your old racing photos too! You can email your contributions to QuincyWelding@aol.com

My family and I finally have a web site as we envisioned and are happy many of you like what we have done so far.

If you've already seen the new Quincy Welding site, http://QuincyLooperRacing.US,
keep checking back as we will be adding and expanding to it. If you haven't looked at it yet, you might want to take a trip down memory lane and see all of the old pictures we've ac***ulated. If you're into antique outboards, we've got a collections section you should check out too.

Thanks again to everyone. This definitely is a team effort.

More Pictures, including the Beast!

Hello Everyone,

We thought we'd mention that we just added a big bunch of new, never before posted, "old" photos from the Christner family racing outboard photo album to the new QuincyLooperRacing.US web site.

Check out the photo of the biggest Quincy Looper engine ever built, the legendary Quincy Looper Beast. It was over 90 ci of screaming, methanol burning, fire breathing monster.

There are many other new pictures scattered about the site.

Please enjoy!

Paul A Christner & family

I found a reference in the APBA Honor Squadron:

Homer Kincaid recorded over 40 years of active participation as an Outboard race driver ... ... Possibly his greatest accomplishment was winning first place in every Outboard hydro and runabout class at the Rome IN regatta on July 24, 1960.
