The introduction • converted Allison and Rolls-Royt* Merlin aircraft and other types • engines developed by the war expected to produce a renewed enth siasm lor the Gold Cup. Bandleader Guy Lombardo, at the wheel of h> “Tempo VI." won the first post war Gold Cup. clocking a speed of 7089/ and passing Gar Wood’s 26 year old- 30-mile record. The Gold Cup was ushered into it* modern era in 1950 with ‘Slo-Mc Shun IV." owned by Stan Sayre * driven and designed by Ted Jones and built by Anchor Jensen. They thoroughly debunked the well publicized impression that three point suspension hulls became hope lessly uncontrollable at racing speeds and especially in the corners. The boat was not the first hydroplane to "prep- ridc" on a semi-submerged propeller but it was the first craft to reap Cham pionship results. Overnight, compete tion speeds of over 100 miles an hour and straightaway speeds of over 150 were commonplace. Over the past decade. Gold Cup racing has continued to evolve to its present level of sophistication. The boats of today tend to be wider, flatter, less box-shaped and can turn quicker than their predecessors, although the straightaway speed is not significantly faster than the traditional post-1950 configuration. Today at racing speed, the modern hydroplane's total wetted surface is roughly equivalent to the size of a man’s handkerchief. If one famous name above all others is to be singled out as having exerted the greatest influence on post-World War II Gold Cup Competition, it would be Bill Munccy. Muncey qualified for cvery Gold Cup contest between 195r> and 1981. an unprecedented feat- He was victorious a record eight times. 1956. 57 in ’ Miss Thriftway." 1961. ’62 in “Miss Century 21."and in 19/2. 77. ’78 and ’79 in "Atlas Van Lines. * Only a handful of other repeat winners in t he history7 of the Gold Cup c an be considered in the same "class as Munccy. This includes Jonathon The Gold Cup is the World Scries, the Kentucky Derby and the Indian apolis 500 all rolled into one aqua car nival of speed, color and excitement. And. the most prestigious event in power boat racing is coming to the Tri- Cities for the fourth time in the 19- year history of unlimited hydroplane racing on the Columbia River. The Gold Cup competition dates back to 1904 when it was run on the Hudson River in New York as Americas answer to England’s Harms- worth Trophy. The Gold Cup course was then 16 nautical miles up and down the Hudson, unlike the oval 2* ' mile course used today. The winning I speed of the three-heat. 96-mile race was an average of 23.160 miles per hour. Scoring in those days was accomplished by a unique point sys tem: one for each heat started and one for each boat defeated. "Standard." the winning boat, won the Gold Cup with a total of seven points. j From 1904 to 1907. a handicap sys- I tern was utilized that took into account the power and size of each boat and gave them time allowances accordingly. The winners in the 1905.I ’06. and 07 contests were all victor ious on the basis of corrected time even though other participants ran faster. Protests from losing entrants were instrumental in the scrapping of handicaps, thereby making the Gold Cup a free-for-all with unlimited hull and engine size permitted. Speeds, and costs, spiraled upward. The Gold Cup competition the "GarWood Era" in 1917. During his involvement with the sport. Wood won the Gold Cup four times as an owner and five times as a driver. In the final 30-mile heat of the 1920 race around a 5-milc course. Wood in "Miss America I" turned a phenomenal 70.412 miles an hour—a record that would stand until 1946. Beginning in 1922. the Gold Cttp rules were changed so t hat i t was open only to boats of displacement design: hulls with "steps" or "shingles" were outlawed altogether along with engines larger than 625 cubic inch piston displacement. The intent was to put Gold Cup racing into the range of more pocketbooks and to encourage the construction of boats that would be useful for something in addition to racing. In 1922 a field of 13 "gentle men’s runabouts" appeared: it was won by Jesse Vincent in "Packard Christcrafi" with a 90-mile race aver age of 40.253 miles per hour. Unfortu nately. costs continued to spiral upward and the boats were not the desired "gentlemen’s runabout." Hulls with "steps" were readmitted to the Gold Cup Class in 1929. Many of the owners of displacement entries "shingled” theirv bottom monoplanes in compliance with the new regula tions. One of these was George Reis who revamped his veteran “El Lagart o" which had made its debut in 1922. Reis drove the aging craft to CiAl O • J I I H 4 9 < II The Gold Cup Tri-Cities Style "Pay ’n Pak" owner Dave Heerensperger accepts the Gold Cup trophy for his team’s victory daring the 1975 Gold Cup.

Ron Musson (1963. ‘64. ’65) and four time Gold Cup champion Dean Chenoweth (1970. ’73. ’80. and ’81). In the early days of the Gold Cup the site of the race was determined by the yacht club of the winning boat. In 1963. the selection of the site was altered significantly, with the location being awarded to the city with the highest purse bid. The Tri-Cities won the right to the 1984 Gold Cup with a bid of 885.000. Gold Cup competition has pro gressed considerably during the past 80 years with speeds increasing from 20 to over 120 miles per hour. The Gold Cup perpetual trophy itself hasn't changed much. Il bears more winners’ nameplates on its base now. but its still the same Gold Cup. made of filigreed metal intrinsically worth about $750 in 1904 American money. ill' I !kAM 'W- The Tri-Cities first hosted power boat racing’s most prestigious event in 1973. The twin favorites that year were the former Pay ’n Pak. renamed the Miss Budweiser and driven by Dean Chenoweth, and a new Pak driven by Micky Remund. After an intense series of preliminary' heats. Remund had the Pak in front in the first lap of the final, with a reading of 1 19 mph. On the second backstrclch. the Pak lost a propeller and the Miss Budweiser team, driver Dean Cheno weth and owner Bernie Little, claimed the Gold Cup victory with a speed of 107.752 mph. The Gold Cup returned in 1975 with the Pay ‘n Pak. driven by George I len- ley. claiming the victory with a win ning speed of 1 10.276 mph. In 1977. Bill Muncey claimed the Gold Cup in a new Atlas Van Lines with a trend-setting cabover hull. It was the first craft with a forward cock pit to win first place on the Columbia River. Allas demonstrated faster cor nering than any other boat in history, with a competitive lap speed of 1 24.309 mph on the first round of the final heat. Second place went to Mickey Remund in the Miss Bud weiser which sank during a practice run two days before and was the sub ject of a feverish round-the-clock repair effort.

Gold Cup ’84 Racing Rules The Flags and Signals 11 Various colored flags are used dur ing the Gold Cup by race officials as signals to the drivers on the course. The flags are displayed from the offi cial barge which is stationed at the race starting line. Flags identical to those displayed on the official barge are also displayed by a boat stationed on the infield of the course. The Gold Cup At the firing of the 1-minute gun. the boats are not to cross the starting line until the face of the clock is totally black. 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. Only those boats that are on the course and running in a planing atti tude when the 1-minute gun fires are allowed to race. A driver on the course cannot attempt to start his engine after the firing of the 1 -minute gun: he must wait until the heat is completed. Should one of the eligible boats for the final heat withdraw, or be unable to start, then the next boat in order of point standings will be allowed to enter the final heat as an alternate starter. The driver of the alternate boat may start his boat’s engine and enter the course if all boats eligible are not on the course and running at the 5- minute gun. If all starters are on the course at the 1-minute gun. then the alternate must leave the course; if any starter is not running at this time, the alternate may proceed to starting posi tion and start the race. Should a boat dislodge or destroy a buoy in competition, it must run an extra lap. When a buoy is dislodged or destroyed, it ceases to be a marker and may be disregarded. Should an offend ing boat force an unoffending boat to strike a buoy which then becomes dis lodged. the offending boat will be required to run an extra lap. The race will be stopped imme diately ifa driver enters the water or. in the opinion of the referee, an occur rence makes it hazardous to partici pants. If. at the time a race is stopped, the leader has finished three consecu tive laps, the heat will be declared completed and the average lap speed of each boat running at this time (based on the number of completed laps) will be used in determining finishing posi tions. The exception is the final - if it is halted, it must be re-run regardless of when stopped. The re-run will be com pleted if three laps are finished. In no event shall the boat(s) responsible for the stoppage be awarded points in that same heat or be allowed to start in any re-run. 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 imme diate assistance. When he is seen wav ing a visible object, he signifies that his boat is sinking and help is needed. When no signal is received, it indicates that the driver is injured and requires immediate aid. AT THE START: Yellow Flag: Displayed at the firing of the 5-minute gun until 1-minute gun. White Flag: At the 1-minute gun before the start, the yellow flag is lowered and replaced by the white Hag. Black Flag: When a boat does not By tradition, the race for the Gold Cup trophy is a longer race consisting of 3 preliminary heats and the final. Both the heats and the final consist of 6 laps, rather than 5. around a 2’/2 mile course, for a total of 60 miles. The 12 boats with the fastest quali fying times will be placed in the three heats (1A. IB. 2A. 2B. 3A. 3B) by the luck of the draw after the course is closed on Saturday. A maximum of six boats will be allowed in each heat. A hydroplane receives a number of points for its order of finish in each heat. To win points, the boat must fin ish all six laps of the heat involved within fifteen minutes of the official start. All points scored in the race are accumulated during the season and used to determine the National Champion boat and driver at the end of the racing season. Points are awarded as follows: First -400 points; second - 300 points: third -225 points; fourth - 169 points; fifth -127 points; sixth - 95 points. To Qualify for the Gold Cup To be eligible to participate in the Gold Cup. all boats must have appeared at a race on the 1984 unlim ited hydroplane circuit prior to the Gold Cup or be a new boat making its first race appearance. To qualify for the Gold Cup, every boat must have recorded one lap at the minimum of 105 miles per hour over the 2’/2 mile course. The qualifying attempt must be three consecutive and continuous laps, with the fastest lap taken as a qualifying speed. A boat may try to qualify as many times as necessary during the time period allotted for qualifications (Thursday. Friday and Saturday). They may also attempt to improve their qualifying speeds during this time. The final qualifying time of a boat is particularly important during the Gold Cup as the field of boats is limited to the 12 boats with the fastest qualify ing speeds. Alternate boats will be determined by qualifying speeds and may race only if one of the faster 12 fails to start. comply with starting rules, it is used to signal a driver into the infield. AFTER THE START OF THE RACE: Red Flag: Signals that the race has been stopped or postponed. Also accompanied by discharge of red or orange smoke. Signals boats to return to the pits. Yellow Flag: Indicates that there is a hazardous condition on the course, such as a stopped boat, which should command their attention and caution. Green. Flag: To indicate to the boat signaled that it is starting its final lap Checkered Flag: Displayed at the imish of the race to indicate to the boat passing the judges’ stand that it has completed the race. 12 Bernie Little entered the 1984 unlimited hydroplane season, number 22 as the owner and driving force behind the Miss Budweiser, with 6 National and 1 World Championship. 5 Gold Cups, and 45 wins. This record easil}' makes him the winningest owner in the sport. Little’s accomplishments in the sport are all the more impressive in light of the less-than-auspicious introduction he had to the unlimiteds at the outset. In 1963. at the Dixie Cup Race in Guntersville. Ala.. Little stepped into the world of the thunder boat’s with his first boat. Tempo, which he had acquired in a trade with bandleader Guy Lombardo. "I thought racing meant nothing more than buying gasoline.” he said. “But. when I looked down along pit row and saw the Bardahi trucks and the Bernie Little: Unlimited Hydroplane Racing's Most Successful Owner sophistication of the Gale racing en tourage. I wondered just what I was getting into.” Little’s boat blew its engine, prema turely terminating its chances for first-time success. A rival racing team’s crew chief would later inform Little that Tempo would probably operate more efficiently if its crank shaft was not installed backward. Dur ing the awards banquet. Little’s first race was the subject of much amuse ment for the veteran unlimited racing fraternity. ”1 hate being the butt ofjokes.” Little said. "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." The results of that commitment, from 1963 through the present, are part of the records and legends of the sport of unlimited hydroplane racing. In the Tri-Cities his teams have won 3 of 18 races, including the 1973A.P.BA Gold Cup. The Miss Budweiser dynasty, initially a modest pact inked between Little and August A. Busch III, chair man and president of the Anheuser- Busch Companies. Inc., has become one of the most successful owner/ sponsor relationships in the world of motorsports. Each year the Miss Bud weiser roars off on the unlimited cir cuit with the name and the “A and Eagle’’ insignia of Anheuser-Busch. And. each year, the number of victories mounts and the trophy case becomes more crowded. Little’s relationship with Anheuser-Busch has the distinc tion of being the longest owner/corpo- rate sponsor relationship in the sport. Little, a native of McComb. Ohio, has built his record of hydroplane suc cesses atop a firm foundation of busi ness achievement. Growing up in the Depression era of the 1930s, he worked as a youth operating a morn ing and evening paper route and in his father’s construction business. It was after U.S. Navy service in World War II that Bernie and his wife. Jane, settled in Florida and laid the foundation for business in aircraft and transporta tion sales. Beginning with an automobile dealership. Little went on to exercise his interest in aviation, first as a stunt pilot with the "All Miami Air Show" and later as a pioneer in Florida’s helicopter sales industry. It was at the Tampa airport, in fact, where Little met Busch and discovered that each had a strong interest in aviation and motorsports, including unlimited hydroplane racing. As an Anheuser-Busch distributor. Little took over a three-county Florida market (Polk. Highland and Hardy counties) and tripled profits nearly overnight. His long association with Miss Budweiser reflects the marketing and sales promotion expertise with which he has made his distributor ship a success. Today. Little stands as the sport's elder statesman and one of the most distinguished racing team owners in motorsports. In 1979 his achieve ments were recognized by sports writers and sportscasters who voted him membership in the Florida Sports Hall of Fame. He was the second boat ing athlete in the state’s history to be I --------•? The Rolls Royce Gri ffon engines, one element off the extra effort pat into the Miss Budweiser. The Bud team started using the Griffon in 1979. and remains the only team on the circuit to use this type off power. The Griffon packsan additional 1.000 to 1.200 horsepower. The Bud team took home National Championships with the Griffon power in 1980 and 1981. so honored and a permanent exhibit is on display at Cypress Gardens. Little has been voted into the Unlimited Hall of Fame, as well. The Miss Budweiser unlimited hydroplane is not the only racing boat that Little successfully campaigns, either. Little also campaigns the Michelob Light in the offshore boat racing circuit. In 1981 the team won the first National Championship since Little entered the sport in 1977. Little's success as a businessman and boat racer has been summed up by Tommy Frankhouser, a former chief of the Miss Bud. “Bernie was born and bred a winner. He never goes into a race—or into any thing else, for that matter—willing to accept second place. He hits hard on the winning theme. If you’re on the Budweiser team, of course, you’re very intense about winning races." Frank houser said. And. there’s no doubt that Bernie Little and his Budweiser team are very intense about winning the 19th annual race on the Columbia River on duty 29 and taking home his sixth Gold Cup.

From Rolls Royce Merlins and Grif fons. to turbines and Allisons to a trio of Mercury Outboards — they’ll all be on the water this year "goin* for the gold." This year, three boats will be using turbine engines as their source of power. Turbines were first used in 1974: in 1980 the Pay ’n Pak team re introduced the turbine and was the first team to win a race using this type of power. Of the three new boats using the turbine, two (Atlas and Tosti Asti) will be using Lycoming helicopter engines rated at 2700 horsepower for the Atlas and 2600 horsepower for the Tosti Asti. The Miller Lite All-Star is using a General Electric turbine engine with 4.000 horsepower. The other “revolutionary” type of power that will be used during the Gold Cup is the outboard used by Tex mo. Tex mo will use three Mercury T-4. 3.4 litre Mercury outboard engines running in tandem. Each engine will generate 450 horsepower revamped and made race-ready, they are worth over $15,000 each. When adapted from fighter plane to race boat, the engine is reversed and the supercharger is turned upside down so that the carburetor sits on top of the engine instead of on the bottom. A specially-manufactured gear box is used to deliver three times the speed of the engine to the propeller —when the engine is turning 4.000 rpms. the prop is turning 12.000. The 12-cylinder aircraft engines weigh approximately 2.000 pounds including the gear box. That means that nearly 45 percent of the average boat weight is engine, drive train and support system. The mortality rate among engines is fearsome. In fighter aircraft, they were overhauled every 300-400 hours. In a hydroplane, an engine cannot be oper ated for more than one hour without being completely disassembled. Many engines last less than one 12‘/2 mile race due to the terrific strain. when operated on methanol. The three engines when working in tandem will give the boat about 1.350 horsepower to move a boat weight, with driver, of about 2.900 pounds—much lighter than the other unlimiteds. Use of the outboard power is still in its prelimi nary stages: during the 1981, 1982 and 1983 seasons, outboards only completed four heats in unlimited racing. Up to six boats will be using Rolls Royce power plants. At least five of the boats will be powered with the Merlin, and one. the Miss Budweiser, will uti lize the more powerful, yet heavier. Griffon. Since 1982. Rolls Royce engines have won 19 of the last 22 races. The Rolls Royce and Allison engines are all 12-cylinder. V-type aircraft engines from World War II. These were the engines used in the P-38s. P-5 Is and Spitfire fighter planes. In their raw state they cost S3.000 to $5,000 or more.

Over the winter Bob Steil purchased the 1983 National Cham pion hull which ran last year as the Atlas Van Lines. During the winter, the two-year-old hull underwent extensive strengthening and conditioning. The boat brings an impressive record to the Squire camp. Coming into the 1984 season, the hull had won both the Gold Cup and the National High Point Championship in 1982 and 1983. was top qualifier in 14 of 15 races run. and set three competition speed records and seven qualifying records last season (including a world qualifying mark of 140.801 mph). It didn’t take long for the hull to prove its worth to the Squire team, capturing the second race of the season in Syra cuse. N.Y. Coming out of a seven-year retire ment to drive the new Squire is two- time champion Mickey Remund. Remund is one of the sport’s most successful and consistent drivers. f'i The defending APBA Gold Cup and National Champion Atlas Van Lines comes to the Tri-Cities with a new boat and new turbine power. The new Atlas was designed and built by crew chief Jim Lucero. The Atlas camp had acquired a number of Rolls-Griffon engines in 1981. but decided on a turbine power that will produce more horsepower than the Rolls-Merlins. It also allows a lighter boat than could be used with the Rolls-Griffons. The new Atlas tur bine engines will develop in the neigh borhood of 3.000 horsepower. The new boat also includes new driver safety features, including an independent breathing system. The system will provide a constant supply of air piped through first and second stage regulators into the driver’s helmet. Breathing will be through a flexible mouthpiece mounted inside the front of the helmet with the regula tor providing the required amount of air on demand—even in the event the driver becomes unconscious or the boat is inverted. The breathing system is in addition to the safety system installed last year designed to keep the driver in the boat. The Atlas team has won six Gold Cups, six National Championships, and since 1976. they have won 52 per cent of all unlimited races, including five of the last seven APBA Gold Cups and four of the last six National Championships. In the Tri-Cities this year, he’ll be look ing for his third straight Gold Cup vic tory' and toward accumulating points in the race for his third straight National Championship. A Washing ton State University graduate. Hanauer was inducted into the APBA Hall of Champions in 1983. Crew chief Jim. Harvey joined the Squire team over the winter after serving as the crew chief of the Atlas Van Lines team (which ran the new Squire hull). Harvey is intimately famil iar with the boat’s innovative design and its capabilities. Last year, he and his Atlas crew were named “Crew of the Year” by the URC. winning 46.8 percent of all heats started. Coming into the season, he was second to Chip Hanauer as the sport’s winning est active drivers, with 10 victories and two National titles. Remund drove the Pay ’N P a k to the National Cham pionship in 1973 and the Miss Budweiser to a National Championship in 1977. Bob Steil, owner of the U-2. is the president of The Squire Shops. Inc. Steil has campaigned an unlimited since 1977. During his involvement in unlimited racing, he has received the Driver Chip Hanauer is in his third year behind the wheel of the Atlas. He began the 1984 season as the sport’s winningest driver with 1 1 wins to his credit. H a n a u e r has claimed one Columbia River victory, in 1981 while driving The Squire Shop. In its first year of competition, the Tri-Cities based U-3 Miss Renault claimed the World Championship in Houston. Texas, in 1983. It also set two records of turbo-charged Alli sons: 129.683 mph qualifying speed and 124.309 mph heat speed. Over the winter, designer/bullder Jon Staudacher made extensive changes on the sponsons. cockpit and fuel cells. In addition, a new aero dynamic cowling was added and a computer-designed wing was placed three feet off the transom. Fran Muncey, Co-owner of Atlas, is continuing her late husband’s commitment to the sport of unlim ited racing. She is currently presi dent of Bill Muncey Indus tries. In 1981 she received the J.
