Nothing, really. But it does lead to an interesting comparison. An amount of nuclear fuel the size of a tennis ball, when used in a fast breeder reactor, would supply all of the electricity needed to serve an average home in Washington State for 600 years. Or, conversely, enough to serve 600 homes for one year. Breeder reactor fuel is packed with energy. An amount the size of that ball has the same energy content as 3,140 tons of coal or 13,600 barrels of oil. Breeder reactors will permit the full utilization of this energy. And they will conserve natural resources by actually making more reactor fuel than they use. A vital part of this nation's breeder reactor development program is the Fast Flux Test Facility, under construction near Richland. Westinghouse Hanford Company is responsible to the Energy Research and Development Administration for design, construction and operation of this unique reactor, which will test fuels and materials for future breeders. Westinghouse Hanford also has the lead responsibility nationally for development of the kind of advanced fuels that will power fast breeder reactors. The Tri-Cities area is very much a part of this country's energy We want to keep it that way. old (Quip History THEGOLDCUP - 1904 the 7 Since that time, the size of the base has been increased to make room for the plaques of the winning boats. 1946, engines of unlimited cubic inch capacity were allowed for the first time since 1921. The rule change was introduced to make possible the use of converted aircraft and other engines developed by the war. Rules were changed in 1937 to al low foreign challengers to compete for the Cup provided they represented an American Yacht club which was a member of APBA. The engine size was correspondingly raised to 732 cubi inches to place American boats on a par with the international 12 litre class which was popular in Europe in the 1930’s. With the advent of World War II and gasoline rationing, Gold Cup rac ing was suspended. When resumed in point of origin on the Hudson River than Minneapolis (in 1917). The rea son was that no boat representing a yacht club west of the Mississippi had ever been victorious. This was soon to change. During the early I950’s Seattle’s Stanley Sayres came along with his famed “Slo-Mo- shun IV and V” to kindle the first East-West rivalry. “Slo-Mo IV” recorded a then mind- boggling straightaway mark of 160.323 mph. to become the first hy droplane to successfully apply the three-point suspension principle (two sponsons and a surface-riding prop). In a five-year period from 1950-54, the “Slo-Mo” team with Ted Jones, Lou Fageol, Stan Dollar and Joe Taggart at the wheel, would take home five APBA Gold Cups for the Seattle Yacht Club trophy shelf. The first Gold Cup was held in the West Seattle in 1951 with “Slo-Mo V” the winner. From 1951 to 1962 the Seattleites were defeated only twice on their home waters: Lee Schoenith and “Gale V” from Detroit in 1955 and Bill Stead and “Maverick” from Leis Vegas in 1959. Seattle-based win ners from those excitement-packed years also included the first “Miss Thriftway,” “Hawaii Kai,” and “Miss Century 21.” Beginning in 1963, the Gold Cup Contest Board approved the awarding of the Gold Cup race to the city which posted the highest financial bid. Addi tionally, the race format was changed to four heats of 15 miles instead of three heats of 30 miles. During the past 14 years, the Gold Cup has been awarded to Detroit five times, Seattle and Tri-Cities three times, San Diego, twice, and Madison, Indiana, once. In their first hosting of the Gold Cup in 1973, the Tri-Cities bid §41,150 and the race was won bv “Miss Budweiser” with Dean Cheno weth at the wheel. In 1975, the Gold Cup returned to the Tri-Cities for the second time on a prize-money bid of $50,000. The win ner was George Henley driving “Pav *N Pak” at the fastest speed in recent years, 108.921 mph. over the 2’/a mile course. Last year, George Simon, owner of U.S. Equipment Company, finally got his Gold Cup. Miss U.S., with Tom D’Eath driving, captured the Bi-Cen- tennial Gold Cup race held in Detroit. Over the past seven decades, the Gold Cup hasn’t changed much. It now wears more winners’ nameplates on its base, but it’s still the same bit of filigreen metal — worth about $750 in 1904 American money. Bandleader Guy Lombardo, using a 650 horsepower conventional engine, won tlie 1946 Gold Cup. He finally eclipsed Gar Wood’s 26-year old record by clocking 70.890 mph. on the final heat. In 1949, Bill Cantrell, now with the Atlas Van Lines crew, scored a 73.612 mph. Cold Cup victory with the Alli son-powered “My Sweetie.” It would be one of Cantrell's 20 career wins. The post-war years of 1948-50 pro duced the biggest boat building boom in the history of the sport with the construction of more than 30 new un limited hydroplanes. The first year of a true national cir cuit its we know it for the unlimited hydroplane contingent was 1947. Danny Foster won the Gold Cup and six out of eight races in “Miss Pepsi V” powered with an Allison V-1710 en gine. During the first 46 years of the Gold Cup's existence, not once had it ever been run any farther away from its The year 1977 marks the 27th anni versary of the first running of the Gold Cup in the Northwest and the third time it has been held in the Tri-Cities. It is also the 73rd anniversary of the competition for this coveted water racing trophy. The race course for the initial Gold Cup was 16 nautical miles up and down the Hudson River. Scoring was by a unique point system: one point for each heat started and one for each boat defeated. Winning time was 23 mph. average for the 96 miles. The winning boat was 59 feet in length and S’/a feel wide, powered by a six-cylin der eight by ten engine rated at 110 horsepower. From 1904 to 1907, a handicap sys tem was utilized dial took into ac count the power and size of each boat and gave them time allowances ac cordingly. Winners of the races were all based on points rather than who ran the fastest so the idea was scrapped and the Gold Cup became a free-for-all event with unlimited hull and engine size permitted. But it was the late Gar Wood who gave powerboat racing its first real fame when he began what is com monly known as the “Car Wood Era” in 1917. Millionaire Wood ultimately won die Gold Cup five times as a driver and four times as an owner. In the 1920 Gold Cup on the Detroit River, Wood posted a then-incredible heat record of 70.412 mph., a mark that would stand until 1946. In 1932, in one of the famous “Miss America” hulls, Wood drove his 38- foot mahagony beauty to a new all- time straight-away record of 124.915 mph. It was powered by four 12-cylin- der Packards rated at a total of 7600 horsepower and gulping five gallons a mile.

I I THE DESERT BLOOMS 18 i Contrasts and Blends TRI-CITY MOODS teeming World War II 19 roomed into a boom town. The evidence of the past is still around: The uniform, whitewashed homes built by the railroad, still stand in some of Pasco's older sections. And the Army-built frame houses of Rich land’s World War II days are still very much in evidence. The Franklin County courthouse in Pasco is a re minder of the architecture of days gone by. But the new has blended in with the old in all three cities. New houses and apartments are being built at a breath taking rate and the hist few years have seen half a dozen shopping centers spring up. Downtown areas are even giving some of the older buildings a facelift and clearing more space for parking. Driving around, you get the feeling that a lot is going on here. It seems like there is a bulldozer at work on ev ery vacant lot. But who is living in all of those new houses and spending money in all of those new stores? There are still a lot of oldtimers around—people who can tell you about how their families homesteaded in the Horse Heaven Hills around the turn of the century. Or how vineyards and mint fields once covered Kennewick’s Highlands. Or what it was like living in White Bluffs—a com- By Kristi Philip There’s something different about living in the Tri-Cities. Oh, the life style is pretty typical suburbia: Safeway, McDonalds and the sprawl ing shopping center. The institutions are all here: city hall, the community college, the ser vice clubs and over 100 churches. And the kids are pretty typically kids: skateboarding, idolizing Farrah Fawcett Majors and having at least one ear tuned to the local rock radio station. Tri-Citians drive a pretty typical ar ray of cars—compacts, luxury models, clunkers and pickups with CB call let ters painted on the back bumper. What makes living here different is hard to put your finger on. It might be the contrasts: the futuristic atomic en ergy industry side by side with agricul ture. They’re both big business. Or the nigged brown hills next to the verdant irrigated orchards. Or the diverse population that enjoys its sym phony orchestra and light opera com pany its much as it enjoys its rodeo and hydroplane races. This is a community whose three cities each has a unique historv and personality, but blend into one: Pasco, with its history as a frontier railroad town—complete with saloons; Ken newick, once a dusty little farm town; and Richland, once little more than a wide spot in the road that mush muni ty evacuated when the first nu clear reactors were built at Hanford. There are plenty of folks who re member when homes lined the Colum bia River where Columbia Park is now. There are folks who were part of the massive construction force impor ted to build the nuclear reactors at Hanford in the early 1940s. Many came here intending to leave when their jobs were finished. But they liked the fresh air and sunshine and stayed. The influx didn't end with the World War II construction era at Hanford. There was more construction in the 1950s. And when reactor con struction slowed down, diversification at Hanford brough new industries and research to the area. People from all parts of the country are still arriving to work on the elec trical power producing reactors now under construction or to work for one of the many companies with offices and plants in the Tri-Cities. It isn’t unusual to hear a southern drawl or a midwestem twang at a Tri Cities gathering. Or to see a Cape Cod or colonial home on the same block with a row of traditional western ranch houses. Some of these people are building the nuclear reators that will produce electricity for the Washington Public- Power Supply System. The fears and protests associated with nuclear power Moods... I ' i 20 j . i ...'j i. TO warm summers and fairly mild win ters. Some have predicted that the area could someday rival California’s Napa Valley in quality and quantity. That will take a while. Grape acreage has increased steadily, but the wine in dustry is still in its infant stages in the Tri-Cities area. Two wineries, one in Prosser and one near Pasco, opened their doors to visitors this year. While the sunshine is a boon to grape growers, it is also a big factor in making Tri-Citians as recreation- minded as they are. Summer weekends see a lot of traffic at the many public boat-launching ramps as boaters head for water-skiing, fishing or cruising on the Columbia or Snake rivers. Hydro electric dams downriver have made the river wide and smooth and more like a lake. Golfers find the Tri-Cities a great place for the game, which can be played nearly year around because of the mild climate. There are six 18-hole courses in the Tri-Cities, ranging from a tricky par-three to the expansive and challenging links where the Pacific Northwest Professional championship has been played for the last two years. Tennis buffs are out in force, too, at either the public and private outdoor in some communites are virtually un known in the Tri-Cities, an area which has been living with the atom for nearly 35 years. There are many in the community who hope Hanford, which once pro duced plutonium for the first atomic bomb, will become a complete center for the peaceful use of the atom. The power-producing reactors are part of that dream. So is the Fast Flux Test Facility, an experimental reactor which will produce more fuel than it consumes. Research is under way on many phases on power generation, including ways to store the radioactive by- prod ucts of reactors, how to generate elec tricity from the earth’s natural heat and how to produce electricity with out damaging the environment. Some of the research is aimed at utilizing so lar energy for electrical power pro duction. And some of it is already off the drawing board and at work. There are homeowners heating their swimming pools with solar power. A Richland engineering firm is com paring solar and conventional power sources by heating one of two identi cal buildings with each. A Richland motel will soon use solar power to heat water for the guest rooms and the swimming pool. But science isn’t the whole story in the Tri-Cities. Agriculature is still a mainstay, much as it was when East ern Washington was first settled. Vast wheat ranches stretch to the Horse Heaven Hills to the south, toward Spo kane to the northeast and eastward to ward the rolling hills of the Palouse. Irrigated acreage is increasing, opening the door to farming on even a larger scale. If you check the agricul tural displays at the county fairs, you’ll see a luscious assortment of fruits and vegetables and a variety of grains. Po tatoes and sugar beets don’t look ex actly luscious, but they’re big cash crops. Part of the industrial growth in the Tri-Cities in recent years has been in food processing—frozen french fries and the like. One crop that is fairly new to the Tri-Cities and a little offbeat is wine grapes, grown here because of the courts or at a new indoor tennis facil ity in Kennewick. There’s hardly a game or sport that isn’t played in this sunny climate. Yoimgsters are kicking soccer balls, dads are puffing and sweating at slow- pitch softball and moms are organ izing jogging groups. It's no wonder that the warm, sunny climate and recreational assets of the Tri-Cities have turned the area into a leading vacation and convention spot. For the last several years, the local vis itor and convention bureau has culti vated that image and made believers of thousands of visitors. Conventions have become an indus try here. In 1976, some 33,000 people attended 130 conventions in the Tri Cities, bringing an estimated $4.5 mil lion to the area. Those conventions were accommodated by the many first-class hotels and motor inns which have been developed in the last 10 years. Now more are under construction and new restaiuants are also keeping pace. And while the variety of eating places is an attraction for visitors, it is also a treat for Tri-Citians who not too long ago found slim pickings in the restaurant department. Something else that has been grow ing locally is an interest in the arts. You can see it all winter as the Mid Columbia Symphony performs a full season under the leadership of a full- time, professional conductor. The mu sicians are amateurs, but the perfor mances are professional. Or as the local light opera company or one of the drama groups performs. Someone once said that if you want culture in Eastern Washington you have to produce it yourself. These per formers have accepted that challenge and met it. Painters, sculptors and crafts de votees are also rinding a growing ex citement in their fields. There are new commercial galleries and artists’ coop erative ventures that display and sell works by local artists and others. The Sidewalk Art Show, traditionally held during the Water Follies, gets bigger all the time. Yes, there is something different about the Tri-Cities. You know it after you’ve been here a while. The people here work hard and play hard and they like the place where they live. Just ask one of them. uni The only one. 21 About the Gold Cup There are many companies supplying hardware and ser vices to the nuclear power industry. UNITED nUCLEAR INDUSTRIES. INC.

Lyn nwood Equipment Company, a sales agent for heavy construction, logging and well-drilling equipment, has picked up sponsorship of Gene Ben ning’s U-7 for the Tri-City Gold Cup and Seattle races. The U-22 has been around since 1957 when it started out as Breathless II. Other names have included Blue Chip, the Loaner, Miss Wickman and last year as Barney Armstrong’s Ma chine. Tad Dean, Seattle body shop owner, owns the boat. And, at program publication time, die Pak was scheduled to be back! Dave Heerensperger will get his old boat back and race it as Pay ‘N Pak in the Tri-Cities and Seattle. The “Pak” is die most successful unlimited ever built with 21 career victories. The boat won four consecutive national championships: 1973-75 as “Pak” and 1976 as “Atlas”. Bill Wurst er, who drove his first un limited race in the Tri-Cities, is now an owner and will bring three boats to the Gold Cup. They include the U-8, U-10 and U-66. The U-8 was built by Bob Gilliam and raced here first as the Valu Mart in 1972. It becomes Oh Boy Oberto this year. The U-10 has been re-numbered and was last year’s Oberto. It began in 1962 as Notre Dame. The U-66 will be Miss Mark & Pak, sponsored by die supermarket chain with stores in Pasco, Kennewick and Richland. For the Seattle race, the boat becomes Elliot Dog Ration, a co sponsor of the boat in its Tri-City ap pearances. Bob Patterson brings his U-80 from California to run again as Van’s PX. A mobile food catering company in Seattle area, Van’s PX runs a hundred or more food trucks serving employees of the various industrial plants. For the Gold Cup, Pete La Rock’s U-95 becomes U-96 and carries the name 96 KYYX. It’s the call letters of a new Seattle FM station operated by Pat O’Day, long-time broadcaster, promoter and hydro enthusiast. The hull is that of the original turbine boat and raced hist year as Sunny Jim. the world’s goods mover i i gan in 1967 tained the e: equipment completed U Muncey has • . voiced his reserva tions about rio’ir;:a cab-over. “Puts you as the firs; . dc to the scene of an accident,” he .<•« •. Now, he calls the cab-over “an incredibly quiet, cool, breathtaking ride.” The boat was de signed by Jim Lucero of Seattle, rec ognized as one of the best crew chiefs in thunderboating. The boat was win ner of the season’s first three races. Bob Murphy, now of the Tri-Cities, brings the first automotive-powered boat to unlimited racing since the Miss Chrysler Crew of the mid-sixties and Bob Fendler’s twin-hemis of 1970. Earl Wham of Spokane, a long-time limited hydro driver, is responsible for the blown 427 Chevy engines. The U-4 is considerably lighter, at about 3800 pounds, than the conventional air- craft-engine hydro like Miss Bud at 6200 pounds. A light automotive boat like the U-4 can only hope to be com petitive by being faster in the corners. The Rolls and Allison boats have con siderably more chute speeds. Perhaps the Murphy entry from the Tri-Cities can answer the question: Can a lighter, automotive-engine boat race com petitively with the aircraft-engine un- limi teds? Bernie Little started the 1977 sea son racing two boats. The new entry was “Anheuser Busch Natural Light,” that raced last year as Olympia Beer. The current Miss Bud is in her second year. Salt Walther had the hull built originally but never raced it. Little bought the boat in 1976 and converted it from a cab-over to die traditional “Bud” profile. Miss Madison comes to the Gold Cup under sponsorship of Barney Armstrong’s Machine. Yes, there is a Barney Armstrong!

To the casual observer, unlimited competition appears to be the one that pits driver against driver. Who’ll get the jump at the gun? Who’ll come out of the first turn first? Who can best pace his machine to make it through the grueling heats and final? But hydroplaning is not just one man against another. To be successful in this sport, a skilled team of mechanics, designers and strategists must work and function together with the precision of a professional football team. It’s the same way in business. In our business — moving — the people behind the scenes are as important to a successful move as the driver and his van. Customer service representatives, dispatchers, safety experts and nearly 500 Atlas agents throughout the United States alone work together to make Atlas Van Lines one of the fastest growing major household goods carriers. Talk to your Atlas agent when you plan your next move. You’ll know you have a great team behind you.

After Freddie Alter explained the idea in Miami, Pay ‘N Pak’s Dave I leerensperger was first on his feet to offer a sizeable cash donation to get the project moving. Tom Kaufman, Bill Muncey, Lee Schoenith, George Simon and Alter also opened their pocketbooks to pledge financial sup port. Preliminary cost figures indicate that a basic kit might be available well below $10,000 with a supplemental materials package priced near $5,000 and a custom hardware kit for approx imately $2,000. A fully assembled boat less engine installation could run just over $22,000, which is a very com petitive figure for sophisticated racing machinery on today’s market. The first “kit” boat has already been purchased by Tom Kaufman, owner driver pf the Mr. Fabricator. His boat, to be designated the U-3, is well-un derway and was on display in the pits at the Detroit race a month ago. So, when you pits, look over name of your company the boat, and you as could happen. And, if vou are interested contact Fred Alter,' 27200 Parkview, No. 810, Warren, Mich., 48092, or Unlimited Racing Commissioner George Byers, Jr., 3115 East Broad St., Columbus, Ohio, 43209.

Now, there’s a way that you can — without the stupendous costs that have THE ATLAS POWER PLANT A Rolls Royce Merlin engine, the kind that powered fighter planes in World Wai IL with 1650 cubic ’ .?h displacement; 2500 horsepower at 4200 RPM’s, burning aviation gas as fuel. Hydro faced most racing teams. Al the unlimited s winter meeting in Miami, the first steps were taken to initiate a new hull program that could insure from three to five new hulls for the 1978 racing season. The primary goal is to substantially increase the number of competitive new boats by 1978 and to make the in vestment financially attractive to pro spective owners who have previously shied away from the major leagues of boat racing because of high costs. The idea is to create an assembly line production of hydroplane “kits”. Produced to package form, the basic kit consists of aluminum hull and spon- son frames, stringers, sponson chines, complete drawings and assembly in structions. Owners may opt to pur chase additional kits that would in clude about everything else you’d need to complete your boat. You can buy the kit and “do-it-vour- self if you have boat-building skills. Or, arrangements can be made with an experienced unlimited hydroplane builder to put the boat together for vou readv for racing. The program has complete flexi bility to put Y'OU in the boat-racing business. You can even select from anv one of three purchase plans. New hulls will be modeled after the successful “U-64” campaigned last year as Miss Vcrnor’s.

But, unlimited racing isn't all happi ness to all people With their huge crowds, neither is the Indianapolis 500, the Kentucky Derby, the Super Bowl or a major po- The Community and the Unlimiteds Money earned from boat racing has enabled an expanded Water Follies. Such events as table tennis, handball, racquetball, autocross, model air planes, archery, foosball and drum and bugle co ips competition are possible only because money to assist them came from unlimited racing. The Tri-Cities will! be on national television for the second time when the 1977 Gold Cup is shown over the CBS “Sports Spectacular”. Because of unlimited racing, the Tri-Cities is mentioned on a continuing basis over the hydroplane's national radio net work. The Tri-Cities race is regularly mentioned in the sports sections of the major dailies throughout the United States. As with any event, costs keep going up. Prize money alone for Water Fol lies will be $76,500. This includes the $54,000 Gold Cup purse, $17,500 for the Cavalcade of Drums and $5,000 for the foosball contest. A break-even point of $190,000 is forecast for the Water Follies budget this year. For unlimited racing to continue we must have: “Continued support of all municipal bodies who must provide the law en forcement and traffic control support. “A better respect for private and public property by those who come here for the race. “Continued cooperation and sup port of the Franklin County residents who live within the viewing zone. “The continued participation of the legion of volunteer people to man gates, park cars, sell Foster buttons, sell tickets and plan and execute the many Water Follies events. Yes, it's nice to have a Tri-City pa rade float but it takes boat-race money to pay for it. Boat race money has made Columbia Park a better place to be during all days of the year. If you would like unlimited hydro plane racing to continue, the volun teers who form the Water Follies or ganization, would like you to speak up. And, if we didn t have the unlimit- eds in town, wouldn’t the last 10 days of July be kind of dull here in the Tri Cities everv vear? litical convention. Whenever you choose to have an event that draws huge crowds, you must accept the “good and some of the “bad' that those crowds bring. Fifteen years ago, not many peopl had heard of the Water Follies. / newspaper editorial hinted that ti • Water Follies needed a star attractin'- At that time, the hotels and mote weren't filled. With unlimited racing, the enti : situation changed overnight. Now, there are crowds, sold-out hotels am! national publicitv. There is also a need for cooperation from municipal agencies to provide extra police sendees during the boat races. Large crowds pose potential problems in some areas. Tlie races are an inconvenience to private property owners on the Frank lin County side. These property own ers have been most cooperative and tolerant, but those residents living within the race-viewing zone have had some problems. It is necessary to close Columbia Park, a public park, for one day. Al though it is perfectly legal to charge admission to such a park, there are those who criticize the idea. The Columbia River must be closed to normal traffic during testing and racing. Commercial river traffic is allowed to go through under con trolled conditions but the private boater must alter use of the river for several days. Is it all worth it? What has unlim ited racing and the Water Follies done for the Community? Columbia Park has certainly bene fited far more than the wear-and tear that the crowds have brought. Water Follies money finished building the public boat launching ramp, built a $17,000 outdoor stage, put in a $10,000 sprinkling system, paid for a trash sweeper, built hundreds of feet of boat docks and did all the work in the pit area which is now a popular place for boaters and for other activi ties. It takes about $10,000 a year of Wa ter Follies money to enter the Tri-City float in 16 parades about the North west. Expenses for Miss Tri-Cities and her royal court are paid for by the Water'Follies. 54 L Contact Gary Gregg Gregg Enterprises 111 N.

Only the well-financed can have a skilled boat crew on the payroll the year around. An alternative is to have one pit crew sendee and take care two, three or even more boats. Once a new sponsor was obtained, the boat could be assigned to whatever racing “team" might be available. More skilled mechanics and racing team members would have full-time, year-around jobs and unlimited racing would be more competitive. A new sponsor would not have to face the high costs and problems of putting together his own racing team. Something like a million people saw an unlimited hydroplane race last year DRIVERS VIEW OF ‘•BUD” The snug-fitting drivers seat holds the pilot in place at 160 mph. Dials tell RPM's, tem perature. oil pressure, fuel mix—all of the variables which spell success, failure or disaster. but very few of them paid an admis sion. The National Football League would be in a much different financial picture if only one out of ten people chose to pay admission to see a NFL game. That the unlimiteds could survive for 30 years on a largely “volunteer" management basis is testimony to the public appeal and the dedication of owners and officials. People like Unlimited Commis sioner Buddy Byers, Lee Schoenith, Bernie Little and Dave Heerensperger have spent thousands upon thousands of dollars out of their own pockets in furthering the sport. If the unlimiteds had $200,000 or more to staff and operate a manage ment office, they undoubtedly could be a lot more efficient. But, all things considered, they haven’t done too badly. Unlimited racing continues. New in novations come along and perhaps the big “breakthrough" into more profes sionalism is just around the comer. If the million or so people who saw a race this year had paid an average of $3, that would be quite some income! With each race site taking in more money, there could be bigger purses and more “appearance" money avail able for all boats. But, many races are staged on pub lic or private facilities where, up to now, admissions cannot be charged. Race committees must then resort to booster buttons, parking fees, program advertising and donations to finance their race costs. If race revenues pick up and purses become larger, boat sponsors will fol low as day does night. If you like unlimited racing, you can lend a hand. Agree to pay an admission fee. Find a sponsor. Encourage an owner. Sug gest a new race site. Tell a volunteer worker you had a good time at the race. Whenever von are so inclined, sav something nice about unlimited rac ing. —Ken Maurer Can unlimited hydroplane survive? Of course it can! A favorite sport of some media people — and others — is to each year predict the demise of unlimited hydro plane racing. No boats. No sponsors. Not enough race sites. Tin’s will sure I v be the last year! Not on your life. The unlimited boats, as we know them, have been around for the past 30 years and the crowds on hand at the race sites are greater than ever. But, that is not to say that unlimited hydroplane racing is without its prob lems. The 1977 season started in Mi ami with only two well-financed boat teams ready — Miss Budweiser and Alt as Van Lines. In the last dozen years we have lost such “glamour" people as Jim Ranger (My Gypsy), Shirley Mendelsohn, (Notre Dame), Bill Harrah (Tahoe Miss), George Simon (Miss U.S.), Jim Herrington (Miss LaPeer), and the Schoenith family (Gale). It takes money to put the “glamour" lx)ats in the pits. We can’t expect the Tad Deans, Bill Wursters, Bob Mur phys, Bob Pattersons and Pete La- Rocks to compete with them on an equal basis without a major sponsor ship. This year, the unlimiteds authorized $1,500 per race in “appearance” money for boats crossing the Missis sippi River. Make the trek East or West and you get $1,500 instead of the traditional $1,000 a boat. A West Coast boat making all six eastern races could get $9,000 which doesn’t include any prize money' that might be won. That would go a long way towards paying travel, fuel and hotel bills while on the circuit. The “boat kit" idea could be the an swer for new owners who want to en ter the sport without making the $200,(XK) or more expenditure to start from scratch. A logical extension of boat “kits” is to work up a similar arrangement for engines.

The digital watches were modified slightly to allow simultaneous starting by a remote switch actuated by the chief timer. The timing system has been used for several years during the SeaFair race in Seattle. The SeaFair timing crew was invited to officiate at the Gold Cup and generously brought their equipment with them. The SeaFair or ganization has also loaned its starting clock to the Water Follies for the Gold Cup. ■^7 SEE SPECIAL FILM HIGHLIGHTS OF THE GOLD CUP RACE MON. AUGUST 1, ON NORTHWEST NEWSBEAT On _ (6>eBS SPORTS^SPECTACULAR date and time to be announced procedures take place automatically. The unit is completely automatic using solid state circuitry for reliabi lity and accuracy. The unit reduces the number of people needed to start the race. Be fore, separate people were needed to fire the cannons, turn off the minute lights and operate the starting clock. A sophisticated system of digital electronic stopwatches will also be used for timing the boats. The modi fied Heathkit watches were assembled by Benson and Tom Winters, Seattle. Winters, another of the Gold Cup offi cials, is a long-time boat racer, official and race organizer. Six individual stopwatches are si multaneously started by the chief timer. One watch is assigned to each boat in the heat. The digital watches are so programmed that they immedi ately give the speed for each lap and also continue to give the total time for A new electronic svstem for timing and starting of each heal of the Gold Cup will be in use in the Tri-Cities for the first time. The control system that will start each heat is called the “Benson Com puter”, designed and built by Jim Ben son, a design engineer for Physio Con trol Corporation of Redmond. Benson, a 20-plus-year boat racing veteran, will be one of the official timers and scorers working the race and using the svstem he originated. The control system, when activated, sets into motion the entire series of events that starts each unlimited heat. Tlie system automatical!v fires the 15- minute gun, the 5-minute gun, turns on the four indicator lights that tell race drivers the passing of the four minutes prior to activation of the starting clock.
