Norris wins Hennessy Grand Prix in offshore race
Art Norris, who calls ocean racing a chess game on the waves, won the Hennessy Grand Prix offshore race aboard 26-foot Slap Shot. He completed the 180-mile course in 2 1/2 hours at 72 mph, marking his fifth win in seven starts this year. The event was marred when Dominic Visconsi's Popeye caught fire, burning for an hour as it sank off Ventnor Pier. Visconsi, his son Anthony, and navigator Sonny Miller were rescued. Barry Cordingly finished second in Why Not, with Bill Martin third in Bounty Hunter.
