There have been plenty of changes TRI-CITY HERALD over the years in the sport of unlimited hydroplane racing and Little and his crew have been in the forefront during them all. "...A boat is just a piece of equipment. Same with an engine," says Little. "It's the people who make it come alive and create the excitement." Little knows he didn't rack up all wins by himself. He The Miss Budweiser team includes: has help from the best crews and drivers in the sport. Ron Brown: "Ronnie is one of the most competitive, hard working and innovative people in all of boat Tr,city HERALD racing," says Little. As crew chief, Brown is consid ered the mastermind behind the 9-for-10 string of season titles. He was brought on board to ease the shift from piston-powered engines to jet turbines. Brown has scored 49 victories, including five Gold Cups, and has been recognized as Crew Chief of the Year in 1976, 1986-1989, 1991-92 and in 1 994. — 48 — a cracker-jack driver, he also has an extensive me chanical background working on a number of unlim ited crews.

The crew includes: Loren Sawyer and John Rheinberger, hull specialists; Mark Smith, engine/ gearbox operations; Dewey Norton, engine specialist; Mike McIntosh and Jeff Campbell, crew members; Leo Vandenberg, shop operations; Dale Vanwieringen, fiberglass/com- posites; Rich Ti mfichuck, machinist; Randy Grim and Steve Jones, electrical wiring; Dixon Smith, computer design and Cookie Brown, office manager. Over the years, Little has had some of the best drivers working with him and taking checkered flag after checkered flag. Dean Chenoweth, Tom D'Eath, Jim Kropfeld and Chip Hanauer have all become synony mous with winning. His most recent driver, Mark Evans, has slipped into the cockpit for an injured Hanauer. Evans, a veteran driver began the 1996 season driving Fred Leland's U- 99. He is the son of Norm, who was an unlimited driver himself and was in the Tri-Cities for the first Atomic Cup. Evans is never afraid to drive hard. He's not only This year marks 34 years of the partnership between Anheuser Busch and Bernie Little. It also marks Little's 70th birthday.

Each year for the last 30 years, volunteers have been patching, mending and repairing the pit docks. Last year, volunteers built two new docks, this year they built five. "We are using special steel and lightweight beams," says pit chairman Paul Parish. "The frames of the docks should last another 40 years. All we'll have to do is replace the wooden decks and they'll last longer too." Along with the new docks, volunteers have also built new ramps. Donations in the form of labor and supplies from Mahaffey Enterprises, Inc., Central Pre-Mix and Profes sional Industrial Coatings and also the use of Shop #4 of the Neil F.

SAN DIEGO BAY FAIR: Hanauer posted another world record with the fastest qualifying speed ever clocked, 172.161 mph and swept three preliminary' heats while rival Smokin' Joes suffered through maintenance troubles. Within an hour, Smokin' Joe's team manager, Jim Lucero and crew, surprisingly put Smokin' Joe's back together and was giving Budweiser a run for its money when the Bud violently crashed. The Miss Budweiser hooked a wave and lost its right sponson, causing it to cartwheel and land upside down. Hanauer was uninjured. In the re-start, Tate was victorious over Mark Evans in the Miss Vons and David, driving MissT-Plus. OUTRIGGER HOTELS HYDROFEST: Capturing the victory' in Hawaii, Hanauer and the Miss Budweiser team, also captured the season. It was a real points battle between Miss Budweiser and Smokiri' Joe's but, in the end, Miss Budweiser prevailed. The Smokin' Joe's crew placed second behind Bernie Little and the Miss Budweiser.
