But. they found their way to the 1966 Atomic Cup. And they brought with them all the equipment needed to enjoy the race which included umbrellas, shade parachutes and scaffolding. At thefirst race, traffic authori ties would allow only one vehicle entrance to Columbia Park and that was from the West by way of the Richland “Y". Every car had to make the four-mile trek down the narrow road to the main parking lot in the ball field. Bumper-to-bumper traffic crept along. ho< ihf 20 YEARS AGO: MY GYPSY, owned and driven by Jim Ranger who now lives in Belvedese. Calif.

The New Enclosed Cockpit Miss Budweiser Jenny Chenoweth christens the new Miss Budweiser. Looking on are. left, crew chief Jeff Neff. and. right, driver Jim Kropfeld. The new boat will again use the Rolls-Royce Griffon engines with a few modifications made over the winter: the carburator. blower drive system and water alcohol system have all been modified. These changes will see the Miss Budweiser accelerating faster to high rpm’s. In 1983 Miss Budweiser owner Bernie Little commissioned the designer/builder team of Ron Jones and (he Miss Budweiser crew to design a new hull. The result is a boat that is safe. fast, revolutionary and making its debut in 1985. The most visible addition to the new hull is the first-of-its-kind enclosed cockpit. The capsule provides Miss Budweiser driver Jim Kropfeld with a survivable environment in the event of an accident. The bubble canopy is sim ilar in design to the type used in the F-16 fighter planes. Research has proven that (he 5/8 inch plexiglas one piece construction can withstand 6.500 pounds of pressure at 200 miles per hour. The bubble was vacuum formed without problems in optics (distor tions). a potential problem because of thickness. The tear-drop shaped pod is so strong it could be placed in the bottom of the sponsons. The frames and walls of the cockpit are of honeycomb aluminum with double wall thickness... like a box within a box... built in a mold. The issues of condensation and heat were eliminated with a defogging sys tem and air conditioning. In addition, an air supply system has been incor porated in the event the boat remained upsidedown in the water. Latches on both the bubble and a trap door under the scat can be utilized for rapid re moval of the driver. A standard 5-point race car harness will strap the driver in the cockpit. The now Miss Budweiser is also slightly shorter than her predecessor (29’ versus 29’ 6”). lower in profile, wider and sleeker with all excess “fat” trimmed. In racing trim, the boat weighs 6.300 pounds versus the 7.000 pounds of the previous boat. The construction techniques used in building the new boat were far more akin to aerospace than marine tech nology. The center portion of the hull is built of aerospace quality aluminum honeycomb sandwich panels. specially designed aluminum alloy extrusion, and bonded with epoxy adhesive sys tems. The only wood used in the hull is the decking of the center section which is 6mm 5 ply African mahogany ply wood. overlaid with fiberglass bonded with epoxy resin. A radical departure in construction techniques was in the area of the sponsons and rear non-trip sides. For t he first time, each outer sect ion of the hull was molded in one continuous unit. The materials used were an aero space fiberglass fabric. having the sue until used. To cure this type of system, a special oven had to be constructed and each laminate cured at tempera tures near 250 degrees F. and each part placed in a vacuum bag during the curing process. The lines of the sponsons have been altered to provide better lift character istics while cornering and have been provided with much larger non tripping chines to enable the hull to handle the roughest of courses. The chines (canted sides on a hull to pre vent water piling up and “tripping” a hull upside down) have been lowered in an angle from the previous hull, thus allowing a smoother transition upon entering the turns while elimi nating the chance of rolling over. Spray rails have been added to the chines of the sponson surfaces to provide a driver transition from being water-borne to air-borne. The rudder on the new boat is located to the right of the transom, a signifi cant change. According to builder Jones, the rudder located far to the right of the center provides a more equally balanced system of drag forces. The new Miss Budweiser also fea tures the addition ofacunard - a struc tural wing up front - with adjustable flaps. The cunard was added to give driver Kropfeld aid in wheeling the boat through the turns more efficiently. Also new to this hull is a larger delta- shaped rear wing which will overlap Budweiser crew mnr»»h I I I I I I I I fy 1 I 1 I I I I I I I I I I I ! i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i i I i i i i i i ATTENTION RACE FANS.

A wide variety of small to medium sized industries produce a multitude of products here including such diverse items as packaging equip ment. golf club shafts and farm machinery. Advanced Technology - A Key to Opportunity High technology is not new to the Tri-Cities which is the home of the Battellc Pacific Northwest Laboratories and a center for energy research. Over 9000 engineers, scientists and highly skilled professional and technical workers live and work in the Tri-Cities. Production of electronic components, circuit boards, computer hardware and software plus state of the art electronic medical diagnostic instruments is helping the Tri-Cities to become better known in the world of electronics and high technology. Energy and R&D - The Necessary Ingredients Energy research is big business in the Tri-Cities with 13.500 people em ployed at the 570 square mile Hanford site operated by the Department of Energy. The Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF) at the DOE Hanford site is the most modern facility in the world for development of breeder reactor tech nology'. The privately operated Battelle Northwest Laboratory' complex employs over 2800 in providing research, devel opment and testing services to both private sector clients and governmen tal entities. Tourism - It’s Easy to See Why Tourism is a thriving business for many cities in the State of Washington and the Tri-Cities is no except ion. Over 225 sunny days per year, unlimited access to recreational waters, many' fine golf courses plus some of the finest upland game bird and waterfowl hunt ing areas in the world attract tourists to this area. The Washington wine industry cen- Agriculture - Washington’s Breadbasket The Snake and Yakima Rivers join the mighty Columbia River at the Tri Cities. Water from these rivers has converted this sunny, arid region, much of which was once a desert, into one of the world’s most productive agri cultural areas. Benton and Franklin Counties alone have over 1.2 million acres of cropland of which 400.000 acres arc irrigated. The Columbia Basin Project to the north of the Tri Cities. provides an additional one-half million acres of very' productive irri gated land. The locally grown “Washing ton Apple” is famous throughout the world while the “Washington Potato” sets industry standards for quality. To Market - The Easy Way Washington State is known as “America’s Pacific Gateway.” The Tri Cilies is ideally located to process and forward agricultural commodities grown in Eastern Washington and else where in the inland Pacific Northwest through this gateway. Products flow from the Tri-Cities to deepwater ports that serve the Pacific Rim countries and the rest of the world. Agriculture is the largest industry' in the State of Washington and the materials to sup port agricultural activity in the form of fuel, agricultural chemicals and machin ery' flow all directions through the Tri-Cities. Manufacturing - Variety Abounds TheTri-Cities is home fora wide var iety of industrial activities. The food processing industry in the region util izes nearly 4000 employees to process a portion of the agricultural products grown locally'. Production and distri bution of agricultural chemicals and fertilizer combines with manufactur ing of fuel for energy production to employ' over 6000 chemical workers. Industrial activity in the Tri-Cities is not limited to food processing, chemi cal production, energy' research and li H Tri-Cities, Washington A Good Place To Be ters around the Tri-Cities and winery’ tours are a leading tourist attraction. In addition to the Columbia Cup Un limited Hydroplane Races, events such as the Tri-Cities Northwest Wine Fes tival. the Benton-Franklin County Fair and Rodeo. NASCAR auto racing and pari mutual horse racing attract vis itors to this area. Sharing the Wealth - An Attitude Tri-Citians are proud of these riches and want the world to know that this is a great place to live, to play— and to do business. They want others to share in the opportunities of the region and they want the region to continue to grow and prosper. Attraction of new industry is highly competitive in today’s market and Tri- Citians have gotten together to make sure their voice is heard. The new Tri- City' Industrial Development Council, or "TRIDEC.” will serve as a focal point for industrial development activities in the Tri-Cities. Supported and en dorsed by' all of the public and private organizations, this group will play a critical role in letting the rest of the world know about the many fine assets and opportunities offered by the region. Going the Same Direction Governor Gardner’s TEAM WASH INGTON plan is an aggressive and successful state-wide economic devel opment program. TRIDEC functions as a member of TEAM WASHINGTON on behalf of the Tri-Cities. Marketing activities, trade shows, advertising, international visits and more are occur ring at both the state and the local level. A recent delegation to Washing ton from eight large Japanese banks as part of the TEAM WASHINGTON effort was hosted locally' by' TRIDEC. This is only the beginning of what promises to be a positive, unified Tri Cities approach to sharing the assets and. maybe most important of all. the Tri-Cities “can do” spirit of support for progress.

Ely Kennewick, Washington opinion of the referee, an occurrence or situation on the race course makes it hazardous to participants beyond the usual hazards of competition. If, at the time of stoppage, the leader has fin ished three consecutive laps, the heat will be declared completed and the average lap speed of each boat running at the time of the stoppage (based on the number of completed laps) will be used in determining finishing posi tions: except that if the final heat is hcilted, it must be re-run. regardless of when stopped. The re-run will be com plete if three laps are finished. In no event, shall the boat or boats responsi ble for the stoppage be awarded points in that same heat or section or be allowed to start in any re-run or subse quent re-runs of it. When a driver is seen waving his hands above his head after his boat comes to a stop or is involved in an accident, he means that everything is under control and needs no immediate assistance. When he is seen waving a visible object he signifies that his boat is sinking and help is needed. When no signal whatsoever is received, it indi cates that the driver is injured and requires immediate aid. 1724 W. Lewis Pasco, Washington racing year.
