The Atomic Cup (as it was called until 1972) was one of four first-year races on the unlimited calendar in 1966. In all, 12 boats put in an appearance at Kennewick-Pasco-Richland for this first unlimited gathering in Eastern Washington since the cancellation of the Apple Cup on Lake Chelan in 1960. The boats that attended bore little resemblance to their modern counterparts. This was before the era of turbine-power and enclosed cockpits. The drivers sat behind — rather than ahead of — the engine, which was usually a supercharged Allison or a Rolls-Royce Merlin. The hulls were full-nosed, rather than box-shaped and very narrow in the stern, as opposed to the boats of today that are wider, flatter and can turn much better and faster. !

Little subsequently triumphed in 1973,1978,1987 and 1988 on the same course. This would be the first and last victory in the Tri-Cities for driver Bill Brow, who suffered fatal injuries at the Tampa Suncoast Cup in 1967. Finishing in order behind Miss Budweiser were “Wild Bill" Cantrell in Smirnoff, Red Loomis in Savair’s Probe, Bill Sterett in Miss Chrysler Crew and Bob Fendler in Wayfarer's Club Lady.

As publicity for the first race, a local hairstylist created the "hydro hairdo" seen here on Sharon Hahn. Photos of the swept-up roostertail made the news wire and were carried in dozens of papers throughout the United States. Mira Slovak, former Czechoslovakian air force pilot turned unlimited driver, had a hectic day at the first Atomic Cup. After driving the red and green Harrah's Tahoe Miss in Heat 1-A, he jumped out of the cockpit and into a waiting helicopter for a quick trip to the airport. From there, he took off in his biplane and performed an aerobatics show over the river, which included the now-famous swoop beneath the blue bridge. He came back to place first in Heat 2-A, only to experience a blown supercharger in the final. In 1966, before Washington State allowed liquor-by-the-drink to be sold on Sunday, the liquor control board frowned on the replica of the vodka bottle displayed on the tail of the U-80 Smirnoff. Owner Lee Schoenith was told to replace the bottle immediately with something more appropriate.

The summer's box office thriller was "King Kong vs. Godzilla." A 6- pak of Coke cost a whopping 39 cents.

A one-bedroom apartment in Kennewick rented for S50 and a new Firebird could be driven off the lot for a mere S3.800.

When August Busch III, then Vice-President of Anheuser-Busch, saw the Tempo, one thing led to another and before the day was out, Busch had agreed to sponsor Little’s boat for $5,000. This was a small sum compared to today’s standards, but it signalled the beginning L * j No owner in the history of unlimited hydroplane racing has come close to matching the records set by Bernie Little, owner of the Miss Budweiser. After 27 years in the sport, Little’s team has won 69 major races and 11 High Point championships and Little himself has received numerous honors, including the Unlimited Racing Commission's Gar Wood award. There’s no doubt about it, the name Bernie Little is synonymous with success and winning. But it hasn’t always been that way. Little’s first unlimited hydroplane was the four-seat Tempo, which he purchased from band leader Guy 1 1966: Bernie with Miss Chrysler Crew owner and driver Bill Sterett at the first Tri-Cities race. - —— 1 EsSeistr of one of the most famous and successful partnerships in the history of motorsports racing.

I boat, while an effective publicity tool, was unimpressive on the race course. For five years, Little and the Miss Budweiser team competed without ever taking the checkered flag. A lesser man would have quit, but Little kept at it, fueled by a strong desire to succeed. He learned some hard lessons along the way and was the object of more than a few jokes. He remembers his experience at the 1963 Dixie Cup Regatta in Guntersville, Alabama, in particular. The boat blew Bernie always has time for Miss Budweiser fans. 1988: Celebrating another Tri-Cities victory with driver Tom D'Eath.

"I hate being the butt of jokes," Little remembers. “I could very easily have gone home after Guntersville and sold out. But instead, I flew back to Tampa, got organized, began negotiating for new engines and equipment and made the commitment to become a winner in unlimited hydroplane racing." His first race win came in 1966 at the Tri-Cities, which was staging its very first unlimited hydroplane race. Bill Brow, a Seattle milkman when he wasn’t moonlighting behind the wheel of the Miss Budweiser, piloted the new Les Staudacher- designed hull to a resounding victory, sweeping all three heats at an average speed just shy of 95 mph. It was an auspicious day and signalled the beginning of another relationship that was to persevere for the next 25 years: that between Little and the Tri-Cities. "I’ve been coming to the Tri-Cities since the beginning," Little says, “and had my very first win on the Columbia River course. The water is fast, the fans are enthusiastic and the friendships I’ve made here are lasting. It just keeps getting better and better." It’s been said that the first victory is the sweetest one of all. Who knows? It’s enough that Bernie Little and the Miss Budweiser haven’t missed a race in the Tri-Cities in 25 years. hi 3a 1978 Columbia Cup winner with driver Ron Snyder and Miss Tri-Cities, Kerry Brock.

Piston-Powered Underdog Wins 1989 Race In a surprising victory, the underdog entry Cooper's Express swept past the checkered flag to win first place for driver Mitch Evans and father- son owners Ed Cooper Sr. and Ed Cooper Jr. in the 1989 Budweiser Columbia Cup. “I didn’t know for sure I’d won until I approached the dock," said a surprised Mitch Evans, driver of the unsponsored, Allison-powered thunderboat. The championship appeared to be a sure win for Miss Budweiser, the only turbine-powered boat left in the pack after a series of misfortunes eliminated Mr. Pringle's, Circus Circus, Winston Eagle and U.S. West Cellular. Miss Budweiser, the 1988 defending champion driven by Tom D'Eath, pulled ahead shortly after the gun and appeared to be running a relaxed race, holding the field easily. Then on the fourth backstretch, D’Eath unknowingly cut off Miss Mazda, leaving the door wide open for second- place runner Cooper’s Express to grab and maintain the lead. The victory was the first by an Allison-powered entry on this stretch of the Columbia since 1971 and held extra significance for Evans, whose father, the late Norm Evans, raced unlimiteds on the Tri-Cities course in the 60s.

Voted “Tour Guide of the Year" last year by his fellow guides, he readily spends 8-12 hours a day giving tours in the hot sun. Another long distance traveler, Gaylen Gaither, spends his vacation working at the races. Water Follies past president Ron Hue says, “Gaylen is always there. From putting up tents, to traffic control to everything in between, he's always ready." Since 1966, Ev Goodwin has had the difficult task of surveying and mapping Columbia Park for parking, fence and special area layout. Ev’s expertise guarantees that race spectators won't be asked to park their cars in the middle of a section of bushes, among other things. Our heartfelt thanks to these and every other Water Follies volunteer who has lent a hand. Water Follies volunteers come from all walks of life, but they each have in common a love of the thunderboats, a sense of community and a healthy dose of good old-fashioned dedication, it's through the unselfish efforts of literally thousands of people that the unlimited hydroplane races come to town each year. While each person deserves special recognition, there are many that stand tall above the crowd: Ralph Smith was chief photographer for the Tri-City Herald during the first Atomic Cup. His assignment? To take photos of the race — from the back seat of a hydroplane. He's been the official race shutterbug ever since. Keith Bowers has contributed as much or more than anyone else to Water Follies; his dedication has never wavered once in 25 years and no job is too big or small for him to take on. This spring he organized the rebuilding of theboatdocks, rounding up donated materials and volunteer labor and completing the project in record time. Parents seem to have a propensity for passing on the spirit of volunteerism to their offspring. Don Cooper Sr., in the words of a fellow volunteer, “has always been involved and knows everything from start to finish." His son, Don Cooper Jr., carries on the family tradition; a member of the rescue team, he is serving as race chairman this year. Water Follies isafamily affair fortheBrutzmans, too. Dad Tom is a 25-year volunteer and is currently Water Follies president. His son, Keith, grew up in the unlimited pits and is a former race chair, while his wife Mardelle, daughter Kathy and daughter- in-law Karen have all contributed countless hours helping put on the races. The Race and Rescue Team wouldn't be the same without the Washams. Their valuable contributions include rescue sled building and modification. Brothers Cal and Glen, Cal's wife Sue, and kids Grant, Audrey and Wayne are always there to lend a helping hand. Service organizations use this opportunity to raise much-needed funds for community projects. P.E.O. Chapter EL has been in charge of booster button sales since 1968. Educational projects, scholarships and local charities all benefit from money earned at the races. The Tri-Cities Kiwanis Clubs have all been terrific Water Follies supporters, too. Whether it's selling programs, parking cars or working on various other projects, they can be counted on. It’s not only locals who help out.

DunnmtrRiiv 1804 W. Lewis, Pasco, Washington • 545-3800 35 Some things you just don’t forget. Like your first true love. Or your first job. Your first day in military service. Who, for example, can’t tell you right down to the smallest detail where they were and what they were doing the day Mt. St. Helens blew its top? Those are things that are stamped indelibly in our memory banks. The same is probably true of the first unlimited hydroplane race you ever saw. In my case, that was the 1974 World Championship hosted by the Tri-City Water Follies and run on the Columbia River. First impressions, they say, are lasting and I haven’t forgotten all the excitement, confusion and controversy that swirled around that race. The race itself was won by George Henley driving the Pay 'n Pak owned by Dave Heerensperger. Actually, the Pak was an easy winner and was in a class by itself. Henley, known as Smilin' George from ★ PERSONAL ★ BUSINESS ★ ★ AGRICULTURAL ★ EMPLOYEE BENEFITS ★ Eatonville, tied an unlimited record by winning seven races that year as he clinched the national championship. But there was another reason why the Tri-City race would have been notable even if the Pay 'n Pak hadn’t run. The 1974 World Championship marked the introduction of the U-95, the first turbine-powered unlimited hydroplane. Equipped with twin Lycoming T-53 gas turbines weighing 500 pounds and developing 1700 horsepower each, the boat, designed by Ron Jones, had been commissioned by Jim Clapp. Clapp died four months before the start of the 1974 season. He had, however, made provisions for his widow, Pam, to retain the crew as well as driver Leif Borgersen and race the boat. In fact, the boat looked like a champion, winning a heat on race day in the world record time of 113.464 miles per hour. That, unfortunately, proved to be the highlight of the boat's short lived career. In the final heat the U-95 went dead in the water in the first turn after its rear wing was damaged by Bill Muncey in the Atlas Van Lines. That set off a rhubarb that I was to learn was pretty much part and parcel of thunderboat racing. After the race, Pam Clapp was marching up and down in the pit area demanding, at the very least, Muncey’s well-traveled neck. “It's not fair," Clapp howled. “It'll cost me thousands of dollars to repair the damage and Muncey just gets his wrists slapped." Muncey, meanwhile, had gone to his trailer and was changing clothes when Gini Dalen, a Tri- City Herald reporter, tracked him down and asked for a comment. “Good God woman," Muncey yelled, his pants around his knees, “can’t a man get any privacy?" Obviously, this was before ladies had access to male lockerrooms. Unfortunately, the matter was soon to become a non-issue. At the Gold Cup in Seattle the following week the turbine engine disintegrated, throwing a part through the hull causing the boat to sink. The hull was later recovered and the boat raced again. The turbines, however, were replaced with piston engines. It would be another seven years before a turbine, the Pay ‘n Pak, would appear on the scene.

The Driver: All unlimited drivers must have an FAA Class I or II physical certificate, pass oral and written exams and carry a valid American Power Boat Association membership card. In addition, a driver who has not raced in the past two seasons must have at least 20 heats of experience in certain limited classes, demonstrate a legal start to the officials and qualify the boat before being allowed to compete. The Start: An electronic timer is mounted at the judges’ stand, pointed up-course so the drivers can read it as they near the starting line. If a driver “jumps the gun" by crossing the line before the clock reads zero, he must run an extra lap to be scored in the race. Drivers may begin jockeying for position — and the preferred inside lane — at the five-minute gun. Once a driver leaves the exit pin out of turn four, he is committed to that lane until reaching the start/finish line. Rules, Regs and Flags The Flags: A yellow flag is flown from the time the five- minute gun is fired until the one-minute gun. One minute before the start, the yellow flag is lowered and replaced by a white flag. When a driver does not comply with starting rules, a black flag signals him into the infield. A red flag signals that the race has been stopped or postponed. In the case of race stoppage, it is accompanied by red or orange flares. A yellow flag indicates that a hazardous condition exists on the course, such as a stopped boat, and drivers should exercise caution. The checkered flag is displayed at the finish of the race to indicate to the boat passing the judges' stand that it has completed the race. 924 George Washington Way Richland.
