USE ELECTRICITY WISELY BENTON COUNTY i FRANKLIN COUNTY Color photo by Jim Eerkes, Kennewick 10 Electricity is too valuable a resource to waste. That's why your PUD's continually urge that you use it wisely. Use what you need but don't waste it. There is an environmental beauty in every city at night because of electricity. Even in the Northwest where we are fortunate to have so many hydro-electric dams, electricity is getting in short supply. However, there are still a few hydro-electric dam sites that can be explored for development. These potential sites must continually be evaluated in our quest for sources of additional energy.

Mall Display A unique display featuring the winners of the ?.id Cup for the past 25 yean n display at Columbia CenT:; uring July. The display ■- -eh consists of 15 panels, fee/ .- t photos and information ab< ? winning Gold Cup boats. The photos and the display are the creation of Bill Osborne, Seattle photographer. Columbia Center and its merchant organization have been strong supporters of Tri Cities unlimited hydroplane racing. Mention of the Gold Cup was carried as a portion of Columbia Center’s mass-media advertising during late-June and July. The Center also furnished a gazebo on the mall at which tickets, race programs and Gold Cup souvenirs are sold. Miss Tri-Cities candidates also took part in a mall fashion show at the Center. The annual Water Follies Kiddies Parade is staged and presented by Columbia Center. Mall decorations during July are based on the theme of unlimited hydroplane racing. Texaco, Inc. has been one of the major financial contributors in the sponsorship of unlimited hydroplane racing in the Tri Cities for the past several years. For the 1973 Gold Cup and last year’s World Championship race, Texaco provided bumper stickers and other advertising material. This year, Texaco is providing large Gold Cup banners and, in addition, has made a sizeable financial contribution. Texaco stations throughout the Tri-Cities serve as outlets for Gold Cup ticket sales and for the distribution of advertising materials. It is only through the generosity of members of the business and industrial community, like Texaco, that unlimited racing with ever- larger purses can continue in the Tri-Cities. Since that time, the size of the base has been increased to make room for the plaques of the winning boats. Rescue Sleds The flat-looking boats that you sec on the course are emergency sleds that were designed and built specifically to serve unlimited racing. Two 16-foot sleds and one 18-foot are owned and operated by the Tri- City Water Follies. The first sled was designed and built about 12 years ago by John Ousley, a boat-racing enthusiast who was then in the marina business here. Later, the Water Follies race committee built a second sled and this past year a third sled was built and added to the fleet. The latest sled was built specifically for firefighting capabilities and can pump water at the rate of 200 gallons per minute. The sleds ride low in the water and they match-up as to heighth with the hull of an unlimited hydroplane. It is easy for race personnel to step from the sleds onto the hydro to give quick emergency assistance. The low-profile of the sleds makes it easy for divers to work from them and also to rescue a driver from the water. The sleds are also used by the race committee in handling the buoys used in setting the Gold Cup course. Gold Cup on TV For the first time in history, a sporting event held in the Tri Cities will be shown on nationwide television. The 1975 Gold Cup will be featured on the CBS Sports Spectacular program, tentatively scheduled for nationwide telecast on Saturday, August 16. Film crews will be here from Transworld International, a New York-Los Angeles firm that will “package” the race for CBS. The firm has purchased the rights to televise at least one unlimited race for the next three years.

Skydiver Glenn Rowlette of the Thunderbirds Spectators at the Gold Cup will see an outstanding exhibition of parachute jumping and sky-diving as done by members of the Thunderbird Sport Parachute Club of the Tri-Cities. The club, one of the most accomplished groups in the United States, is known for their exciting exhibition jumps. Members have won awards in competition throughout the country. During heats of the Gold Cup, 10 jumpers will exit from a twin-engine aircraft at 4,500 feet. They will free fall to 2,500 feet before deploying their parachutes in a “Parade of Canopies” of various types. Next, four parachutists will jump at 7,500 feet and form a 4-man star in freefall, opening their chutes at various altitudes. During the exhibition, a simulated malfunction and cutaway will be demonstrated followed by two separate “spinning” maneuvers by two-man teams. The final demonstration will be done from 14,000 feet with a 10-man “snowflake” formation done during freefall. Jumpers will reach speeds in excess of 150 mph. Upon deployment of chutes at 2,500 feet, the various types of hi-performance canopies will be demonstrated including the “Strato Star” that has a forward speed of better than 25 mph. Thunderbird club officers are: Steve Bates, president; Bob Ford, vice president; Doug Hendrickson, secretary-treasurer; Bob Hannigan, safety officer; Don Rabe, head jumpmaster; and J.R.

He operates an automobile agency and leasing company. BILL NEWTON (Chief Referee), Towson, Maryland. Age 55. Newton is regional manager of Huck Manufacturing Company. He has served as chief unlimited referee since U-74 WEISFIELD'S MISS BUDWEISER ) MISS VALVOLINEMISS MADISON LINCOLN THRIFT ATLAS VAN LINES MISTER FABRICATOR the 39 U- - N PAK This year marks the city of Madison, Indiana’s 15th consecutive year in the unlimited class with a community- owned boat. Madison, a city of 13,000, has hosted unlimited racing and the Indiana Governor’s Cup for some 20 years. The first Miss M campaigned from 1961-63 and won the ’61 Seattle Trophy race. The second craft ran from 1963-71 and captured the ’65 Dixie Cup, the ’71 Gold Cup and the ’71 Tri-Cities Atomic Cup. The current boat began three years ago. It suffered extensive damage during qualifications for the ’72 Detroit race and had to be completely repaired for the ’73 season. At the 1974 Miami race, rookie driver Milner Irvin came from behind to defeat the overall winner, “Miss Budweiser,” in the final heat. A new boat last year designed by Ron Jones. Had “ride” problems last year. Competed in only 9 heats of racing, placed 1 1th in national standings. Is the fifth boat campaigned by Bob Fendler since 1965. The boat was modified and changed considerable prior to this racing season and the wing-assembly was put back on to improve the boat’s ride. It is a turbo-charged Allison that was developed originally by owner Bob Fendler. In earlier races this year, the boat has shown tremendous speed during qualifying but has still had trouble during racing conditions on the course. The seventh in the line of “Miss Budweisers,” the present U-12 is now in her sixth season. Originally constructed in 1970 with a forward cockpit and twin Chrysler hemi power plants, the former “Pride of Pay ’N Pak” was remodeled the following year with a conventional hull configuration and a single Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. Purchased by Bernie Little and the Budweiser organization after the conclusion of the 1972 season, the craft won four of nine races. That included the Gold Cup in 1973, the first time it was held in the Tri-Cities. The boat placed second in last year’s high point standings. A brand new boat this year, a product of the design and engineering expertise of Les Staudacher and Lee Schoenith. The innovative cowling and tail section construction are markedly different from any boat that previously appeared on the circuit. Schoenith admits that the new Atlas was designed to combine the best features of the “Pay ’N Pak” (considered to be the best turning boat in unlimited history) and the “Miss Budweiser” (the best riding hull in thunderboating). The boat is 29’ long and 13’/^” wide. The 6,200 pound hull is lighter then last year’s “Atlas” but heavier then the present “Pak.” The boat uses World War II P-51 Mustang Allison engines that are turbo-charged. It burns methanol and is equipped with a $ 1,000 Cary Italian propeller. The most successful unlimited hydroplane in recent years has been the “Pay ’N Pak,’’ representing Pay ’N P a 1: ? t o r e s and own e d b y Dav e Heeren>perger and John Headley of Seattle. Racing for the first time in 1973, the boat was the sixth new hydroplane in the last ten years to be campaigned by Hcerensperger. It was designed and built by Ron Jones, Costa Mesa, California, with healthy assists by Jim Lucero and the Pay ’N Pak crew. It weighs 6,000 pounds, is 28’ 5” long and 13’ across the beam. Much of the boat is made of honeycombed aluminum which is actually two thin sheets of aluminum bonded to and separated by an aluminum core. Only the sponsons and deck are of wood and this is because it is difficult to curve the honeycombed material. The boat has a stabilizer on the tail designed by members of the Craig Breedlove speed team. The engines are Rolls Royce Merlin developing 2,500 HP at 4,500 RPM. Fhe boat currently holds 56 individual speed records at courses around the U.S. In 1973, Pay ’N Pak set records at all races, set 26 out of 29 records and won 4 out of 9 races. Last year the boat broke all records with 7 wins out of 1 1 races and 20 individual course records. MISS U.S. The current Miss U.S. is the latest in the scries of hydroplanes that span a 20- year period and are owned and campaigned by George Simon of Detroit. Simon’s boat was severely damaged by fire in last year’s Seattle Gold Cup. During the winter, the boat was completely rebuilt. Since the bottom and sponsons were not damaged and after it was found that the aluminum honeycomb hull material was still sound, it was decided to re build rather than go through the headaches of an entirely new boat. It’s Simon’s ninth hull and was designed by Ron J ones. The U-76 is the former Notre Dame, now owned by Jack Higgins. The boat was sold by Shirley Mendelson McDonald to Bernie Little who sold it to Higgins, a 32-year-old investor and Transcontinental Coal executive residing in Decateur, Georgia. The boat sports a “rainbow” paint job, indicative of its sponsorship as Miss Technicolor last year in the western races. The boat also campaigned last year as the “U-76,’’ “Miss Cott Beverages” and “Miss Northwest Tank Service.” The U-76 was built by Ron Jones in 1972 and is a pickle-fork design powered by Rolls Royce. The boat wound up last season in 6th place in total points. One of the older contenders on the unlimited circuit. Was originally built in 1964 by Les Staudacher as Tahoe Miss. Mira Slovak won the 1966 Gold Cup in Detroit with the boat. It has raced in the Tri-Cities as Tahoe Miss and Harrah’s Club. Now owned and driven by Tom Kaufman of Carrollton, Ohio. The boat is one of only eight in history with more then 100 heats of competition to her credit. The U-74 was built in time for the ’74 season by Ron Jones of Costa Mesa, Calif., and campaigned as the Valu- Mart. The boat weighs 6,000 pounds, is 28’ 6” long and is powered by Rolls Royce Merlin engines. The boat experienced its share of “breaking in” problems its first year and competed in only 1 1 heats of racing, winning one. The boat manager is Jerry Zuvich, former crew chief of the Bardahi; crew chief Dave Culley, was formerly with the Miss U.S. and Notre Dame; and Gary Crawford is a former Bardahi engine specialist. The boat opened the season with Billy Schmacher winning the Champion Spark Plug Regatta in Miami’s Marine Stadium. GOLD CUP i! BOATS I MISS U.S. WEIS1 i* A&.«' MISS BUDWEISER 40 I II ■ VRV . - - .

The balloon will be tethered near the pit area. During heats, the balloon, carrying a hang glider pilot, will ascend over the course. When sufficient altitude is reached, the hang-glider will be dropped and the pilot will glide back to the ground. T he balloon, which was seen during Expo in Spokane, is 60-feet high and 50- feet in diameter. It carries its own propane-gas furnace that is used to heat the air to make the balloon rise. The appearance of the balloon is under the sponsorship of the credit unions of the Tri-Citics. Last January the balloon set what is believed to be a Washington State altitude record when it soared to 14,500 feet over the Mead airport. The glider pilot, Brent Rosengrant of Spokane, probably holds the record for the most glider drops from a balloon. The glider pilot is carried aloft by a special harnass that is hooked to the balloon basket. After reaching sufficient altitude, the glider is released. & BOATI STANDINGSST 'SINCS 1974 POINTS 12.527 10,863 7,838 .6,463 6,463 4,715 4,715 3,550 3,550 3,025 2,782 1,968 3,307 1,819 2,482 1,750 2,432 1,694 1,968 1,819 1,688 1,639 1,569 TRI 1,639 1,2631,518 1,413 9251,263 CITY 821 1,016 222 925 850 821 THEATRES 732 620 525 225 43 UNITS OF STERLING RECREATION ORGANIZATION MISS NORTHWEST TANK SERVICE MISS COTT BEVERAGES Jack Higgins 3,482 KALE 960 RADIO 5.

Additionally, the race format was changed to four heats of 15 miles instead of three heats of 30 miles. During the past 13 years, the Gold Cup has been awarded to Detroit five times, Seattle three times, Tri-Cities and San Diego, twice, and Madison, Indiana, once. In their first hosting of the Gold Cup, the Tri-Cities bid $41,150 and the race was won by “Miss Budweiser” with Dean Chenoweth at the wheel. This year’s bid by the Tri-City Water Follies was $50,000. In 1976, the bi-centennial Gold Cup will be held in Detroit with a bid of just over $76,000. 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 filigreed metal — intrinsically worth about $750 in 1904 American money. The First V&ars GC O CUP HISTORY Foreign Entries Allowed Rules were changed in 1937 to allow 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 cubic inches to place American boats on a par with the international 12 litre class which was popular in Europe in the I930’s. With the advent of World War II and gasoline rationing, Gold Cup racing was suspended. When resumed in I 946, engines of unlimited cubic inch capacity were allowed for the first time since 192 I. The rule change was introduced to make possible the use of Bandleader Guy Lumbardo, using a 650 horsepower conventional engine, won the 1946 Gold Cup. He finally eclipsed Gar Wood’s 26-year old record by clocking 7P-S90 mph. on the final heat. In 1949, Bill Cantrell, now with the Atlas Van Lines crew, scored a 73.612 mph. Gold Cup victory with the Allison-powered “My Sweetie.” It would be one of Cantrell’s 20 career wins. The post-war years of 1948-50 produced the biggest boat building boom in the history of the sport with the construction of more than 30 new unlimited hyroplanes. The first year of a true national circuit as we know it for 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 engine. Gold Cup Goes West During the first 46 years of the Gold Cup’s existence, not once had it ever been run any farther away from its point of origin on the Hudson River than Minneapolis (in 1917). The reason was that no boat representing a yacht club west of the Mississippi had ever been victorious. This was soon to change. During the early 1950’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 hydroplane 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 in 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 Las Vegas in 1959. Seattle-based winners Fhc year I 97 5 marks the 25 th anniversary of the first running of the Gold Cup in the Northwest and second time it has been held in the Cities. It is also the 71st anniversi' the competition for this coveted v. ■- racing trophy. The race course for the initial ■ Cup was 16 nautical miles up .-nd down the Hudson River. Scoring as 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 8’/2 feet wide, powered by a six-cylinder eight by ten engine rated at 1 10 horsepower. From 1904 to 1907, a handicap system was utilized that took into account the power and size of each boat and gave them time allowances accordingly. 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 commonly known as the “Gar Wood Era” in 1917. Millionaire Wood ultimately won the 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-cylinder Packards rated at a total of 7600 horsepower and gulping five gallons a mile.

Each heat is six laps of a 2-1/’ mile course. 1 he Gold Cup is I lie longest race of the season for the unlimiteds. Not only is there an extra heat, but each heat remains 15 miles. In all other races, because of energy considerations, heats have been shortened to 12!/’ miles (5 heats of a 2’/2 mile course). To enter the Gold Cup, boats must have first qualified at a 95 mph average over two consecutive laps run during qualifying, Wednesday through Saturday. As many engine changes as are necessary are permitted in the Gold Cup. If a boat “jumps the gun’’ by crossing the starting line with less than 30 seconds remaining until the start of the heat, it must run an extra lap to be scored. Only those boats that arc on the course and running in a planing attitude when the one-minute gun fires are allowed to race. A driver on the course cannot attempt to start his engine after firing of the one minute gun. He must wait until after the heat is completed to start his engine. Should a boat dislodge or destroy a buoy in competition, it must run an extra lap to be scored. (When a buoy is dislodged or destroyed, it ceases to become a marker and may b e disregarded). Should an offending boat force an unoffending boat to strike a buoy which then becomes dislodged or destroyed, the offending boat will be required to run an extra lap to be scored.

Entering the sport in 1967, Atlas sponsored the U-2l, owned by Norman Manson and originally built as “Maverick,” a former Gold Cup winner. In 1968, Atlas teamed with Bob Fendier of Phoenix and the revolutionary “Super Skateboard” — the U-35. The huge 35-foot long craft employed a completely flat forward deck and was piloted by Jim McCormick. It had quick straightaway speed but was handicapped by turning problems. In 1969, Atlas was represented by Fendler’s proven U-19 (the former “Wayfarer’s Club Lady”) but did not win a race. In 1970, Atlas and Fendler joined in the brand new revolutionary cab-over with automobile-cngine-power labeled the U-29. By the end of the season, Fendler had replaced the two auto engines with a conventional Allison. After four summers of participation, Atlas had yet to field a winner. In 1971, Atlas teamed up with the successful Gale crew headed by Lee Schoenith. Schoenith, a past Gold Cup winner, has employed the “winningest” of all drivers, Bill Muncey, to chauffer the brand new rolls-powcred U-71. Muncey won two of the seven events in 1971. The same winning combination was refined for 1972 which saw Muncey and Atlas breaking records in every race and winning six out of seven. Percentage-wise, the incredible 1972 season has never been quite equalled by any other boat and is an almost impossible goal to shoot for each year. Following the 1972 season, the U-71 was equipped with an experimental fuel injection system. While a competitor, it never quite attained the superiority of rhe previous year. In 1974, the Schoenith camp and Atlas came back with such things as an adjustable delta wing, hydraulic sponsons and a new Allison turbo charged engine set up. However, the season proved to be one of problems and crises including two sinkings, a number of fires, burned pistonsand lost turbo chargers. Using the cumulative experience in the sport, Schoenith, Atlas and boat builder Les Staudacher have produced a brand new design. The innovative cowling and tail section construction are markedly different from any other boat. The power source is a turbo charged, fuel-injected Allison. .4*8 Atlas-owner Lee Schoenith began his unlimited r?.c:r<; c..~:..r • ; : . boat in 1950.

In a saga spanning 13 years, “Miss Budweiser’’ has won almost more races than any other boat in history — and the 1975 season could be the year that she wipes away the word “almost.” Presently, only Miss Bardahi has more race victories to her credit: 24 compared to Miss Budweiser’s 22. Extending back to 1963, the seven “Miss Budweisers” have won three straight national championships, three Gold Cup victories and have won all but one major race in the United States. Since the first Miss Bud in ’63, there have been seven such boats. Some crashed in splinters, some won every race entered. Still others disappointed. But, the quest has always been the same — to have a boat that represents the excellence of Budweiser in a manner to reflect credit and prestige to the sport in which it is involved. During her long and illustrious career, Miss Budweiser has entered a total of 1 1 1 races and has won no fewer than 103 events in those races. 57 1303 Geo. Wash. Way Phone 943-3111 2417 W. Kenn.

As early as 1963, Dave Heerensperger, then in Spokan* sponsored the former “Miss Spokane' and campaigned it as “Miss Eagh Electric.” After a few years of retirement, Heerensperger purchased the former “ Bill” with Col.

The boat was a trimarran with a main fuselage and two sponson-like appendages attached to the hull. The boat, racing as “Lil Buzzard” won the 1970 Tri-Cities Atomic Cup with Tommy Fults at the wheel.

The hydroplane pit area was also developed by the Water Follies. Over the years, the Water Follies has brought a variety of different events to the Tri-Cities. In addition to unlimited and limited hydro racing, the Water Follies has sponsored outboards, flatbottoms, drag boats, sail boats and OPC marathon boats in racing events here. Jet demonstration teams including the Navy’s Blue Angels and the Air Force Thunderbirds have flown here under Water Follies sponsorship. Because local high school band directors had helped out the Water Follies in many ways, the Water Follies organization created “Jazz Unlimited,” a competition for high school stage bands from around the Northwest. The event is now being staged by Columbia Basin College. In addition to the annual celebration, the Water Follies sponsors the Tri- City float that this year will enter some 18 parades about the Northwest. The Water Follies is also responsible for the year-round activities and expenses of Miss Tri-Cities and her court. The Water Follies organization operates without a paid staff and must depend entirely on volunteers to provide the manpower to put on this annual celebration.

Tri-City radio stations were hard-pressed to provide total coverage of both the unlimited race and the moon-landing. The Gold Cup was brought to the Tri-Cities for the first time in 1973 and last year the World’s Championship for Unlimited Hydroplanes was held here for the first time. Another milestone will be reached this year, when the Tri-Cities and the 1975 Gold Cup will be shown on a delay-basis over national television and the CBS network. Unlimited racing has been good for the Tri-Cities. It has brought thousands of people from out-of-town here for the race and it has gained the area untold amounts of regional and national publicity, all of it focused on our weather and water recreational assets. Monies earned from unlimited racing have been returned to the community by the Water Follies in the form of capital improvements. This past year, a $10,000 grant from the Water Follies made possible the placing of a sizeable new area of Columbia Park under automatic sprinkler irrigation. The Water Follies has also built an Roostertails will fly and unlimited hydroplanes will race consecutive year in the 1975 Gold Cup. The Tri-City Water Follies, und'cr several names and different progr formats, began as a carnival and progressed to be one of the me* important community celebrations the Northwest. For many years, limited hydroplane racing was the major Water Follies attraction. But, there was a clamor that the Water Follies needed a bigger “star” to provide a celebration that would gain the Tri-Cities additional publicity and attract more people. In September of 1965, five Water Follies representatives — then- president Mark Pence, Wally Reid, Keith Bowers, Jack Hamann and Ken Maurer — drove down to Lake Tahoe to witness the 1965 World Championship Regatta for unlimited hydroplanes. They spent the time observing, measuring and photographing all of the many facilities needed to stage an unlimited race. They also talked to owners and drivers about the possibility of unlimited racing in the Tri-Cities. To call attention to their area’s potential as an unlimited race site, the Tri-Cities also sponsored two of Bob Gilliam’s boats at several races. Water Follies efforts were successful and the first unlimited race was staged on the Columbia River in the Tri Cities in July, 1966. Twelve unlimiteds made an appearance at the newly-developed pit area in Columbia Park. Bill Brow won all three of his 15- mile heats at the wheel of Bernie Little’s “Miss Budweiser” to become history’s initial Atomic Cup champion.

The 6-cylinder motor which powered the 59-footer to a 23- mph victory started by compressed air fed to three cylinders, developed an amazing 1 10 H.P., and weighed a more amazing one and one-half tons’ The demand for high power began. One year later, and not to be outdone, by Dave Speer Unlimited writer, POWERBOAT magazine THE VAN BLERCK ENGINE speedboat owners. Soon the Liberty went into everything from family runabouts, to rumrunners, to (Continued on Pnna AOI brand of engine based on its word-of- mouth reputation and its geographical availability. So, for example, off Long Island the Speedway was popular, in the Mid-West the 12-cylinder Van Blerck was unparalleled for craftsmanship, and among the Thousand Islands of northern New York, where Gold Cup racing matured, the Sterling was king. In fact, the Sterling was a leader in gas engine technology and dominated the Gold Cup with seven consecutive wins. 1911- 1917. Hurried into World War I, in 1917, America was caught without a suitable aircraft engine. The Liberty V-12 was created to gain air supremacy for the United States. But the 400 H.P. motor, not of radical design but rather a synthesis of the state of the art at that time, proved too heavy for Army Air Corp fighters. After Armistice Day over war THE STANDARD ENGINE Standard built the behemoth racing engine of its day — 300 H.P. Like an old steam engine it was a maze of steel columns, oil resevoirs, copper tubing, rods and levers. Considered a mechanical genius up and down the St. Lawrence River, in upstate New York, John Leighton built the first supercharged engine in history. Instead of a simple fuel pump to deliver gasoline to the vaporizer (carburetor), a crankshaft-driven pump boosted a compressed charge to two power cylinders. This Leighton advancement powered the 1906 Gold Cup winner, CHIP II. In the early days a boat owner often made the decision to buy a certain In the late 1800’s the steam engine found a formidable rival in the internal combustion or “explosion” motor. 1 he principle, dating back two centuries, did away with both fire and boiler and power was developed directly within each cylinder. Early marine engines were very primitive, and as one writer of the day put it, “you never knew if they would take you one mile or fifty.” Nevertheless, t h e n e w f a n g 1 c d invention made the average man a weekend admiral and became the foundation of a sport to follow. A contest of speed was always as close as the nearest powerboat. Wealthy men, relaxing over wine at the social club, wagered thousands on their favorite yacht; the humble motor launchman bet a bottle of White Wheat Whiskey on an upriver dash. T he yachtsman, dressed in whites and brass, whistled deck hands topside and ordered the boilerman to tie down the safety valve; the “stink pot” pilot, wearing slicker and goggles, souped up his 76 octane gasoline with ether or moth balls. The race was on . . . the only difference was the equipment, not the spirit. Motorboat racing proved a useful testing ground for car engine manufacturers in the halycon days of that industry.

Three of the heats are eliminations to see which of the six boats will go into the final heat. Boats are assigned to heats by the luck of the draw. The drawing for heats 1A and 1 B is made at the driver’s meeting in the pits Saturday evening. On Sunday, drawings are made for the next heat at the conclusion of each heat. The six boats with the highest number of accumulated points go into the final heat. The winner of the Gold Cup is determined by the boat having the highest number of points gathered throughout the afternoon of racing.

This new lightweight powerplant turned boat racing upside down. As a result, every successful Gold Cup motor since World War I has been a spin-off of a government financed project. Gar Wood built the fastest hydroplanes from 1915 until World War 11, and he couldn’t have done it without Packard engines - indeed the resources of the entire Packard Motor Car Company. Unlike the Liberty which had to be converted to marine use, Packard developed special motor.. THE DUESENBERG War powerplants expect to compete on the same course as an Allison. Charles Rolls and Frederick Royce were never racing men, really. Unlike many motoring pioneers they weren’t destined to take part in powerboat racing — but their engines were. Strikingly similar to the General Motors-built Allison, the Rolls powered England’s famed “Spitfire” during World War II dogfights over the Continent. Although the Rolls-Royce has dominated Unlimited competition in recent years, the popular turbocharged Allison now rivals the Rolls as the most powerful U-boat engine. On July 27, a crazy breed of boats good for nothing but speed again chase the illusive Gold Cup. F'or miles up and down the lazy Columbia ears perk to the bark, whistle, chatter and pop of the t h u n d e r b o a t s churning. The sounds, harsh and mellow, echo the progress of speed on water, the memories of victories past, and audibly spotlight the barnstorming Unlimited spectacle. 250 Lb. Anchors Needed for Buoys Anchors weighing 250 pounds in the form of a barrel filled with concrete are used to hold the buoys that mark the Tri-City Gold Cup race course. Steel rods are run through the barrels and left protruding before they are filled with concrete to give a “hedge-hog” effect to the anchors so they will not “roll” or “slide” along the bottom. These anchors are dropped and then picked up again each time the course is set. The anchors and buoys are dropped in their correct position by means of triangulation points and a survey crew working on shore. The survey crew communicates with the anchor crews on the river by radio to tell them where to position the anchors. The survey of the course was submitted to the chief surveyor of the American Power Boat Association and the Columbia River Gold Cup course has been officially certified as approved for world records. A total of 18 buoys are used to mark the Gold Cup course. The majority of the marker buoys are orange. The starting buoy, directly in front of the official barge, is white with red stripes. Green buoys are used to signal the entrance and exit from each turn. The buoys are used by drivers as reference points to begin their deceleration going into turns and for accelleration after the turn has been completed. THE LIBERTY ENGINE for boat racing. Wood’s most famous craft, MISS AMERICA X, was powered by four 2,500 cubic-inch Packards. Supercharged, they turned over 2,600 R.P.M. and developed a whopping 7,400 H.P. Packard also built the “Sweepstakes 621“ — the only engine ever designed expressly for Gold Cup boats. It was the most consistently successful engine in its class from 1922 thru 1936. For fourteen seasons, when a Packard didn’t win, the Wright did. More popularly called a “Hisso”, after magnetos, and about 550 horses. From four dozen exhaust stacks it roared like the main event at a midget car track! This unique Duesenberg never failed mechanically, won the 1937 Gold Cup, and powered the first Gold Cup Class boat to break 100-mph, NOTRE DAME. Following the end of World War II, and with the jet age on the horizon, the Allison and Rolls-Royce introduced the modern era of Unlimited racing. The Allison V-1710, America’s first 1,000 H.P. aircraft motor, was a superb machine utilizing the best use of lightweight alloys, supercharging, and precision mass production. In 1946, an enterprising Californian named Danny Arena wasted no time in mounting the Allison in his 3-pointer MISS GOLDEN GATE III. He recalls, “I put my foot down, the tail would raise and all of a sudden it would tear loose. No one in Detroit had seen a boat run like that before.” Arena’s yellow bomb clocked scorching laps until the battered engine failed on the finale. Never again could the antiquated First PACKARD SWEEPSTAKES 621 its Hispano-Suiza (which translated means Spanish-Swiss) origin, the Wright was another refugee of World War I air battles. From a technical standpoint the Wright V-8 was an outstanding engine and its success started a series of design refinements which culminated in the Allison and Rolls-Royce Merlin engines. Duesenberg built a one-of-a-kind motor for powerboat playboy Horace E. Dodge, Jr. Of five custom-made ‘‘Doozies’’ only one was ever assembled. The technical numbers are fascinating: 24 cylinders, 4 valves per cylinder, 48 spark plugs, 6 cams, 3 c?, Pour everything you’ve got into a game of volleyball, I Put the perfect day on ice.
