Is it possible that is '87?
He was injured pretty bad in '86 Sodus Point and leased a boat for Miami to continue their season and earn US1. They campaigned US1 in '87.

10-16-2009 09:54 PMI'll double check but Saccenti was badly injured, Ben continued racing..... The Accident was in Rochster, NY 1986. Bobby suffered a basil skull fracture, one of the few human beings to survive an injury like that.
You are right that a boat was "loaned" to Kramer by Sal Magluta to lock up the championship. Ben raced 3 wks after the accident and that's why US1 is on the Apache. Some commentary from Ben's interview with Rich Lurs at that race; "Rich:Ben you're in a brand new boat today, do you feel comfortable? Ben: Nah, I'd much rather have my boat and Bob Saccenti but Sal was gracious enough to let me borrow the boat."
If you notice, Bobby was not on the sticks for Key West...he was still recovering.Last edited by Geronimo36; 10-16-2009 at 10:08 PM.

Key West is the first race of the year. That would explain the US 1. Funny thing is it was earned in a cat.
Thanks and sorry for double checking.

I understand National Champ can fly their earned #1 in Key West.
I checked SBI rules and it remains as it has for years.

10-17-2009 10:09 AMPopeyes Cat won 3rd race, followed by Popeys V and Maxon.
Apache won Open in the 3rd race followed by Systems and Seahawk broke. overall points winner for open class worlds that year went to Systems..
I don't remember the other classes results but I can go back and check.
