Bill Hosler

Hosler2010.jpg

Bill Hosler began his outboard racing career in the 1950's and is still going strong in 2010 at the age of 79. Bill currently races in the 175cc Hydro class, which reaches speeds of 85 to 100 mph. Bill has won numerous races over the years and is well known within the outboard community for his contributions to not only outboard racing, but also the various charities associated with the racing events. We want to send a special thanks to Bill for sharing photos from his personal racing photo album with us here at QuincyLooperRacing.
