Almost immediately after leaving home he was blown off the stern of his troop ship during the invasion of Okinawa by a Japanese submarine on a suicidal mission. After V-J Day he spent a number of nervous days on another ship clearing Japan’s inland waters of American- laid mines. As a target for the mines themselves, everyone hoped that the mines could be located and blown out of the water before the unthinkable opposite could happen, and according to Little, seven of the 1 1 ships assigned to the duty suffered from that fate and were lost. Shortly after his discharge he met. and nine days later married, his wife Jane—a marriage which is in its 43rd year. He opened a restaurant with his brother but left after three months to sell cars in Findlay, Ohio and by 1949 had saved enough money to move to Florida, where he became the sales manager of a car dealership in Miami. He also became a stunt pilot and started flying at airshows. Even today. Little still enjoys flying. After the travel ing airshow folded he again sold cars and added to that, airplanes and boats. Within six years he had made enough money to buy the Petersburg Airport operation. A while later Little obtained a four- seat hydroplane named Tempo from bandleader Guy Lombardo in a trade for one of his own yachts. The actual This Bud'sJbrYou—Bernie Little and Anheuser-Busch have been winning unlimited hydroplane races and set ting thunderbolt speed records longer than any owner/sponsor team in the sport. birth of the Miss Budweiser team came later when August Busch HI. then vice president of Anheuser-Busch, visited Little’s airport and was offered a ride on the Tempo. After cruising along at 130 mph—a ride in which two accom panying vice presidents quickly re quested immediate shore leave—Little proposed a sponsorship from Busch, who was impressed with his ride in the Tempo, and a $5,000 deal was made. The year was 1961. and Little and Busch have been close friends ever since. The first five years of racing brought no wins for Little and his team. In fact, at the first race Little attended, the Life on the Wings of an Eagle Budweiser's Bernie Little Budweiser owner Bernie mue driver Jim Kropjeld some pre-race advice. I When you think of Budweiser Beer. I three things which normally come to I mind are Anheuser-Busch Breweries. Budweiser Clydesdales and Bernie Lit tle. owner of the Miss Budweiser hydro planes—the most winningest boats in the history of the world. With 1986 marking his 24th year of thunderboat racing, and the win at the season opener in Miami this year his 54th victory. Little is virtually the king of unlimited hydroplane racing. How ever. while his Budweiser boats are the ornament of his empire, they also mir ror his rise from a Depression-era teen ager to a bigger-than-life superstar surrounded by a modern business world where he has built a megabuck dynasty. Little was born in the small Ohio town of McComb just in time for the Great Depression, which swallowed up his father’s grocery' store and set the wheels in motion for the young paperboy—who also retrieved golf balls from the water trap at a neighboring golf course, painted them, and resold them to help make ends meet. Having repeated both the fifth and boat performed particularly poorh ur after an investigation, it was found that the crankshaft for his engine was installed backwards. Such bad luck didn’t last, however, and he won his very first race right here in the Tri Cities back in 1966. In recent years his Griffon-powered Miss Budweiser has dominated the sport, and when Little saw that tur bines were going to be the way to the future of winning, he spared no expense in the development of the Budweiser turbine program. 1986 will see Little with two MissBudweisers. the Griffon- powered boat piloted by Scott Pierce and the turbine whoosh machine with Jim Kropfeld at the wheel. Sincerely, 7 July 1986 Dear Unlimited Hydroplane Fans: On behalf oj Budweiser beer and everyone at Anheuser-Busch, Inc., welcome to the 1986 Budweiser Columbia Cup race weekend. The Tri-Cities race promises to be one oj the most exciting on the 1986 circuit and we are indeed proud to serve as a sponsor of this event. High lighting this year’s event will be excit ing performances from some of the world’s toughest competitors—includ ing driver Jim Kropfeld, who pilots the seven-time national champion Miss Budweiser. We’d like to take this opportunity to extend our thanks to the Tri-City Water Follies Association and, more importantly, to the fans, for making this event in the Tri-Cities one of the premiere stops in all of motorsports racing. We hope you enjoy the racing this weekend. Thanks, again, for your enthusiasm and continued support of unlimited hydroplane racing. Michael J. Roarty J Executive Vice President ing to Brown. Two major modifications were made to the turbine hull. Brown and Seattle designer and builder Ron Jones made extensive changes in order to make the boat more competitive. The sponsons were shortened by a foot and the right sponson was made four inches wider. Additionally, the aft section of the boat was cut out to put the Jones “space boat" configuration. The cutout in the rear section of the hull is nearl}' as deep as the one be tween the sponsons in front, and the turbine-powered Miss Budweiser will also sport adjustable flaps or wings in the front of the hull and utilize Jones’ new delta-shaped rear stabilizer. The other modification that was made to this hull was the addition of a canopy to enclose the driver’s cockpit. The canopy from an F-16 jet fighter was fitted to the hull, complete with a roll cage to give the driver the most complete protection in the history of the sport. The new concept was so suc cessful that two other teams will also use F-16 canopies during the 1986 season. Drivers on both boats will be secured in their cockpits by a standard five- point harness, similar to those used by race car drivers, and the team solved the problem of condensation buildup and driver comfort with the installa tion of an air conditioning system. The canopies are built of five-eights inch plexiglass which have been tested to be survivable at over 170 mph. and an air supply system with a face mask was incorporated into the teardrop shaped pods in the event the boat remained upside down in the water. Latches on both the bubble and trap door under the seat can be utilized for rapid removal. Both drivers are pro tected by a double layer of honeycomb aluminum, covered with fiberglass. The canopies are so strong that they can withstand 6,500 pounds of pres sure at 200 mph. /A Bud crew member inspects the Miss Budweiser canopy. Behind the Scenes with the Bud Crew The success of the Miss Budweiser ^hydroplanes is a team effort, and one which involves more than owner Bernie ELittle’s leadership, and the skills of odrivers Jim Kropfeld and Scott Pierce. 'The behind-the-scenes talent of 10 ocrew members are also an essential iingredient to the team’s winning ways. The Budweiser crew is responsible Ifor designing and producing approxi- imately a dozen Rolls-Royce Griffon ^engines and three turbines, as well as eevaluating and improving the Miss IBudweiser’s performance. During the eoff-season the crew was busy readying ithe turbine hull, designing and build- ling a second turbine hull, and upgrad ing the Ron Jones-built Griffon- 1 powered hull. Team manager and crew chief of the Miss Budweiser team is Ron Brown. .•son of American Power Boat Associa tion past president Les Brown. He took • over for Jeff Neff, who left last season to work at a Budweiser distributorship with his sister. Jenny Chenoweth. Brown inherited a team rich in expe rience. and a team with more than 50 years of racing knowledge between them. Already in place when Brown arrived were Loren Sawyer, Tracy Bratvoid, Tim Ramsey. John Rhein- berger. John Bianchi. Dewey Norton, and Curt Tavenner. To this group Brown added Kenney Dryden and Steve Olson. Like any successful team, the Miss Budweiser crew spends 12 months a year eating, sleeping, talking and working around the Miss Budweiser hydroplanes. Under Brown’s direction, the Bud crew reorganized the shop and then began the preparation for the 1986 season. Brown made the shop self- sufficient, upgrading the machine shop and adding a complete fiberglass shop and metal fabrication shop. Other than some of the specialized fabrication for gearboxes or their high-tech parts, the team was able to build just about every thing they needed for the boats, accord- 1 > £ MKMWKHH'. 1^'.

Columbia Cup ’86 Racing Rules or AT THE START: 1 13 The Columbia Cup consists of three heats of 1214 miles each (5 laps on a 2 Vi mile course) for a total of 37’/2 miles. The 12 boats with the fastest quali fying times will be placed in the two preliminary rounds (Heats 1A. IB, 2A, 2B) by the luck of the draw with a max imum of six boats allowed in each sec tion. The draw will take place in the presence of the owners and drivers Saturday evening after qualifying has been completed. The first boat drawn is placed in Heat 1A and the second boat is placed in Heat IB. etc. The only exception is when one owner enters more than one boat in which case the boats are placed in separate heats. The six boats scoring the most points after the two preliminary heats will advance into the final heat. The winnerofthat heat is the winner of the Columbia Cup. A hydroplane receives a number of points for its order of finish in each heat. To win points, a hydroplane must finish all laps of the heat involved within fifteen minutes of the official start. All points scored in a race are accumulated during the season and used to determine the National Cham pion boat and driver at the end of each racing year. Points are awarded as follows: First-400 points: second-300 points: third-225 points: fourth-169 points: fifth-127 points: sixth-95 points. 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. 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 halted, it must be re-run. regardless of when stopped. The re-run will be complete if three laps are finished. In no event, shall the boat or boats responsible for the stop page be awarded points in that same heat or section or be allowed to start in any re-run or subsequent re-runs of it. The Flags and Signals The colored flags used by Columbia Cup officials are used as signals to the drivers on the course. The flags are displayed from the official barge which is stationed at the race starting line. Flags identical to those displayed on the official barge are also displayed by the boat stationed on the infield of the course. 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 flag. Black Flag: When a boat does not To Qualify for the Columbia Cup To be eligible to race in the Columbia Cup on Sunday, every boat must have recorded one lap at the minimum of 100 miles per hour over the 2*Z> 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). The Columbia Cup Should a boat dislodge or destroy a buoy in competition, it must run an extra lap to be scored. When a buoy is dislodged, 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 bestopped immediately if a driver enters the water, or if, in the 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 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 orange smoke. Signals boats to return to the pits. Yellow Flag: Indicates that there is a hazardous condition on the course. enn?manS a.^LOPPeC1 bOal- Which should r ‘ ncl}beiratter'tion and caution, sic 1 h g: To indica<-e to the boat CheoU thal u ts Slarhng its final lap. fhhshnmred Flag: Displayed at the pass ?e tO lndicate 'o ' he boat completed the rfceS' lhat “ I COMMITTEE LIST I Tri-City Association of WATER FOLLIES i_____ _______ Columbia Cup: Glen Washam.

Snake and Yakima rivers—plus thousands of lakes which surround our three communities. more than 300 miles upstream from the Pacific Ocean, which tranship locally produced goods to many Pacific Rim destinations, such as Japan, at a times savings when compared to San Francisco or Los Angeles. This is a transportation center for a four-state area, with mainline service by rail, barge, truck and air. The Port of Pasco is the largest of the three port districts, and one of the largest maritime complexes on the upper Columbia, as well as the center for more freight tonnage transportation than any other port upriver from Portland, Ore. When the thunderboats compete on the Columbia River here in the Tri Cities they will be racing on the fastest hydroplane course in the world, and on a river which breathes life into a desert which has become virtually utopian in nature. The Snake and Yakima rivers join the mighty Columbia here, and from these waters agriculture, industry and tourism thrives. The three communities collectively known as the Tri-Cities— Kennewick. Pasco and Richland—is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the state and one of the most pros perous regions in the Pacific Northwest. —An Agricultural Breadbasket The Tri-Cities is located at the southern tip of the gigantic 500,000- acre Columbia Basin Irrigation Project, and within miles of 470,000 acres of newly proposed irrigated crop land, as well as the important agricultural areas to the south, east and west. The Tri-Cities is the gateway to this agricultural paradise, which is one of the most diversified crop growing regions in the world. More than 100 types of crops, and numerous varieties of those crops, are grown and processed in the Tri-City area and transported worldwide. Some of our commodities have made the Evergreen state famous, such as our apples, potatoes and wheat. The entire economic basis of the state has its roots in the farmlands of eastern Washington. Washington ranks 15th among all —An Industrial Powerbase The Columbia River contains one third of the potential water power in the nation, and as it flows through the Tri-Cities, it provides the area with a powerbase which industiy flourishes upon. The state’s second largest industrial payroll, behind agriculture, is the huge Hanford Nuclear Reservation located outside of Richland. Some of the nation’s largest industrial companies are located in the Tri-City area, including Exxon. Boeing. Westing house. Rockwell International, and Battelle Laboratories. A wide variety of small to medium sized industries also produce a multi tude of products and services, from food processing, chemical production, energy research and high technology, to packaging equipment, golf club shafts, and farm machinery. Three port districts are located here.

Grand Prix testing and qualifying for the 300-pound. 17-foot champ boats will begin on Friday. July 25 at Columbia Park. The $25,000 Grand prix race will begin at 3 p.m. the follow ing day and on Sunday. July 27, the boats are expected to make exhibition runs between heats of the unlimited hydroplane races. Champ boats are said to be among the most maneuverable boats in the world and can turn sharper and faster than any other race vehicle, putting up to four times the pull of gravity on the driver in a hard. 120-degree turn. The tunnel outboards are capable of speeds of more than 125 mph. and unlike the unlimited hydroplanes which start racing while on the course, the champ boats are dock-launched and can accelerate to over 100 mph in five seconds. Champ boats are commonly pow ered by two-litre Mercury and Mariner V-6 engines made from production 150 horsepower pleasure engines that run about 5,500 revolutions per min ute on regular gasoline. The racing versions with electronic fuel injection turn about 9,500 rpm and develop about 300 hp on aviation fuel. The well-balanced, highly-developed champ boats have tunnel hulls which capture air between them to develop lift and reduce drag. Riding on this cushion of air. the boats are able to make amazingly tight turns with little or no deceleration. Built of wood and fiberglass, the powerboats have a reputation for re liability. About 95 percent of the start ers actually finish the race, according to Duke Waldrop. IOGP race director, and the powerboats have an excellent safety record. In 10 races held last year not a single driver was hospitalized. Racing is on a one-mile course in a tight, tear-drop shape. There are two 15-lap preliminary heats and a 50-lap final heat, and because of their maneu verability. the boats race in close prox imity to each other and the crowd. Champ boat drivers come from 1 1 different countries, and in addition to race sites located throughout the United States, champ boats and their European ON counterparts race at sites in England. France. West Germany and elsewhere. 3 1 •3 i I ’AI I ■ ■ know to develop the performance you expect from every Mercury we make.

MerCub Celebrity racing will also be held on the Columbia River duty 25-27. The sporty little MerCub Formula IV rigs are mathematical reductions of Cougar-designed Class I offshore rac ing boats which travel over the water at speeds regulated to no faster than 35 mph, in accordance with racing rules structured by the American Power Boat Association. The MerCubs are Mercury-powered. 10-foot long outboards designed for entry-level power boat racing, and are featured in racing events at many of the nation’s larger powerboat racing sites. The celebrities for the race will be announced prior to Friday. July 25. The boats are provided by Mercury Marine and come ready to run. includ ing engine. propeller, steering, battery', and fully upholstered cushions. As with any form of motorsports, certain precautions are taken before the drivers are allowed to test or race their boats. Each boat is given a com plete inspection to check for safe con struction and that all safety devices are working properly. Mechanics who ride with the boat trailer to events nation wide perform all repairs. Drivers wear safety helmets and life jackets, and are trained for the races. All drivers must be 14 years or older, and races are not permitted unless there arc qualified medical personnel on hand. If a driver is thrown into the water, which rarely happens, he sig nals that he is well by clasping both hands above his head. Failure to do so means trouble and brings a quick end to the race and immediate action from the Water Follies Rescue Team. The rules are simple: All you can do to make the boat go faster is to wash it. No modifications of any sort are allowed. The race course will be one- fourth or one-half mile in total length with narrow turns. The MerCubs will start from the dock and proceed around an oval course in heats before the final race is run. MerCub racing began more than a decade ago as a dream, but today' it is one of the most exciting concepts in more than 80 years that the APBA has been sanctioning boat races. This con cept is in a class which brings together the resources of Mercury' Marine. Cou gar Marine and the association, and draws a whole new generation of boat racers, usually those still in their teens. The purpose of the MerCub Celeb rity' races is to open up new avenues for future events, and new futures for active, young sports-minded people who are looking for a safe, clean and affordable water sport. Unlike other forms of waterplay. MerCub boat rac ing does not bring about a risky' or unsafe mode of racing fun. MerCubs allow the entire family to become acquainted with entry-level power boat racing, and unlike the champ and unlimited classes - which draw thousands of spectators and few participants - MerCub racing is de signed for amateurs and professionals seeking a pastime or an introduction into power boat racing.

In every can. In every crystal-clear bottle. Miller contains no additives or preservatives. Purity you can see. Quality you can taste. So when you want a beer that's made to be the best, ask for a Miller. P Just like Chip Hanauer, it’s a H J; legend made the American way. I 4 iL i—* JO It takes more than desire to become a legend. It lakes a will to win. A determination to be clearly superior to the competition. These arc the qualities that have driven Chip Hanauer to four consecutive Gold Cup victories and three national high point championships. And they are the qualities that have made Chip Hanauer, driver of the Miller American unlimited hydroplane, the first driver ever to break the 150 mph lap-speed bar rier. And a true legend in the spoil of hydroplane racing. For over 130 years, we’ve been brewing Miller Beer with the same kind of desire. The same kind of ’ HANAUER AND MILLER BEER. N€ILF.
