Ruchatel Talk, a podcast dedicated to everything related to the sport we all love. I'm your host, david Newton, and it's time once again to sit back, relax and welcome to Ruchatel Talk. It is July 18th 2023 and this is Episode 106. Well, I don't know about you race fans, but I'm feeling a little bit nostalgic today here on the podcast. I went digging through the archives and I found some audio tapes all the way back from 1973. Hard to believe, but 50 years ago in Tri-Cities, washington, they held the APPA Gold Cup. Thirteen hydroplanes qualified for the race, including Lincoln Thrift, pride of Pain Pack, miss Budweiser, miss US Murphy's Marine, mr Fabicator, pizza Pete, notre Dame, miss Madison, atlas Van Lines, redman Value Mart and the Shaky Special.
Speaker 1:It's really fun to go back and listen to this race as you hear some great voices of the hydroplane history past, some great racers, announcers alike. You'll hear some great interviews from Mickey Raymond, jim Lucero and Fred Alter. Just listening to the names of some of the drivers that were there on this day 50 years ago running for the Gold Cup Got Danny Walls driving the Lincoln Thrift, mickey Raymond, dean Chenoweth, tom DeEath, chuck Hickling, tom Coffman, fred Alter, ron Larson, tom Sheehy, bill Muncie, jim McCormick, bob Gilliam and Tom Martin. I had fun listening back on this race as you can hear the thunder and thunderboats once again, all those Merlins and Allison's turning up the waters out there. You get a little bit of history from the announcers, some great announcers. You can hear Jim Hendricks, phil Cole and Pete Gross on the mics. You'll have over an hour that we're going to have today for just the first flight of heats. There's a little bit of a pre-race show that they'll go through some of what's going to happen in the race. Who's there? Some of the history of the qualifying, and it's interesting to take note that qualifying back then started on Thursday, had four days on the water, a lot of racing, a lot of boats, a lot of excitement for that race.
Speaker 1:We've got the Columbia Cup coming up here in just about a week now and I just thought it'd be so much fun to revisit one of the past nostalgic races in hydroplane history from Tri-Cities, washington. I got to apologize in advance. Some of the quality is not the best. These are tapes that are 50 years old. It was recorded off the radio. I appreciate being able to preserve this at least, but I did have to repair one of the tapes and kind of play with the playback speed to make sure it was the quality was enough you could understand what was going on, but hopefully it's clear enough you can hear the announcers. You can hear the thrill in the voices of the races going on back 50 years ago. All right, so strap in and let's get back into our time machine and let's travel back to 1973 on the shores of the Columbia River to listen to Jim Hendricks, phil Cole and Pete Gross talk about the Hyderabad races for the gold.
Speaker 3:They're doing quality reporting.
Speaker 4:We have a full house. We would estimate the crowd will probably go around 10-15,000. Prime viewing area here is the 600 acre Columbia Park on the south shore of this beautiful 2.5 mile course. This marks, by the way, the first time in six years the Gold Cup has been held in the state of Washington. The last time, of course, was in Seattle in 1967. Depending champion in this race is the Atlas Van Lyons driven by Bill Muncie. They won the race last year in Detroit. We'll be back with more from the Columbia River and the 1973 Gold Cup in just one moment.
Speaker 4:Of course, the big news here on Tuesday, as far as the qualifying goes, was the fact that the pride of paying back out of Seattle Dave Ehrensburg's fine boat to the new qualifying record of 124.31 miles per hour Over the two lap course. The old record was 116 miles an hour, set by the Doutre Dame back in 1969, the old Columbia River course record, set by the old paying back boat last year, driven by Bill Shillett Jr at 120 miles per hour. As far as the standings go, starting this afternoon's racing, the paying back holding a narrow 200-point lead over Miss Budweiser, the nation's unlimited hydroplane fleet heading for its first Western appearance here the 73 Gold Cup at the Tri-Cities and then, of course, moving on two weeks since to Seattle, the paying back and Budweiser expected to duel it up In the afternoon's finals. Each has two wins on the Eastern Circuit. This year the paying back when the season's opened near Miami and last week at Madison, indiana. Miss Budweiser at back-to-back wins at Owensboro, kentucky, and also at Detroit.
Speaker 4:The way the current point standing is all right. Now the pride of paying back, driven by Mickey Raymond, has 4938 points. Of course this is the new boat. It's considerably lighter than the old boat they had last year by about 800 pounds and also they have that honeycomb, aluminum and the horizontal stabilizer in the back, which has certainly made a big improvement in the tide of paying back this year. And there's probably two of the big reasons why this fine boat is out front and the point standing is going into today's competition.
Speaker 4:And Miss Budweiser with Dean Chenoweth is second, as we mentioned, trailing by just 200 points, starting the competition this afternoon with 4738 points. Red man with Jim McCormick in third spot in the circuit standings with 3459 points. Then comes Lincoln Thrift in fourth place, 2,846 points. Last year's national champion, the Atlas Bandline, driven by Bill Muncie with 2,500 points, in fifth place and rounding out the top ten Gale's Rooster Tail, which this afternoon and during this morning's seats will be known as Pete's Apeat, as they change the name of that boat, with a new sponsor, miss Madison, mr Fabricator, the Value Mart and Miss US, and then in number 11 spot is the Notre Dame and number 12, the Value Mart, number two boat. So again the top five boats in the point standings to pay, in fact Miss Budweiser, red man, lincoln Thrift and the Atlas Bandlines. We'll continue with more action here at Tri-Cities at 1973 Gold Cup in just one minute.
Speaker 3:Today's car buyers pride themselves on taking a good look at the car they're buying. That's just good business. You're not West.
Speaker 4:Ford dealers.
Speaker 3:a businessman, too, with a big stake in the West and that's why he thinks there are other things you should take a look at a good close look. Is the car you're buying all the car you'll ever need? Does it have Ford's quiet quality? Take a close look. What about service? When you look closely at your Ford Deater's service guarantee, the better he looks, your Ford Deater will do almost anything to make you happy and keep you that way. That's why you're treated not just like a customer but like a friend. See you nearby Northwest Ford Deater soon. Take a close look at the car he sells. The closer you look, the better we look.
Speaker 2:Praise the happy. He's happy too. He's your Ford Deater. He's number one, he's number one.
Speaker 4:We have given you the point standings as far as the circuit goes up to this point. Of course we mentioned another big battle coming up in Seattle two weeks since we might take a look at how these boats qualify for this afternoon and this morning seats and of course the final coming up this afternoon. We expect everything goes out on time at about 5.30. On Wednesday the Atlas Bandlines with Bill Muncie was first to qualify at 116.883 miles per hour. On Thursday Mickey Weidman with that new record here and by the pay-and-back 124.310 miles per hour. As we mentioned earlier that qualifying time over the two lap course, both the old record set by the Notre Dame in 1969 at 160 miles per hour and also both the old Columbia River course set by the pay-and-back last year at 120 miles per hour. Also on Thursday, the Pete's a Pete qualified at 111 miles per hour and two other boats also qualified on Thursday shaky special, 99.2 miles per hour and Miss Madison at 104 miles per hour.
Speaker 4:On Friday, miss Budweiser and the Value Mart both qualified Miss Budweiser at 114.651 miles per hour, the Value Mart at 105.883 miles per hour and on Saturday a couple of the boats that had qualified on Friday re-qualified with faster times the Notre Dame at 104 miles per hour. Lincoln Thrift at 112 miles per hour. Mr Fabricator at 97.5 miles per hour. All three of these boats had qualified on Friday but re-qualified against Saturday with faster times. Bob Murphy's Marine, at 98.2 miles per hour, also qualified on Saturday, as did Redman at 102.857 miles per hour and this morning the 13th boat to qualify for this race there are 15 in the pits, 13 have now qualified as we start the action at about 12 or make down 1150 this morning.
Speaker 4:The Miss US qualified this morning at 105.142 miles per hour. So in order according to miles per hour in their qualification, the pay impact number one, atlas stand lines number two at 116.83 miles per hour. Then the Miss Budweiser, lincoln Thrift, east of P, the value mark, miss US, the Notre Dame, Miss Madison, redman, shaky Pizza make that Shaky special. Bob Murphy's Marine and Mr Fabricator. That's how they qualified in order, with the last boat to qualify this morning, the Miss US at 105.142 miles per hour. We'll take a look at how the eats are going to shape up when the competition begins at 1150. We'll return in just one minute.
Speaker 2:Shaky Pizza, pizza Pizza.
Speaker 3:Pizza. Pizza Party's right and plenty of pizza's doing the best in the world. You just can't beat Shakin's for delicious pizza, day in and day out, every day of the week, everywhere. In a pizza-sound country they're the whole family. Tonight just shakin' Shaky Pizza Pizza.
Speaker 2:Pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza, pizza Pizza.
Speaker 4:Pizza, pizza, pizza and Pizza Number one, the pizza and fun in the Pacific Northwest. Stop by and see why that Shaky's. This is T Closeback at the Columbia River in Pasco, washington, with our pre-race report, with our first teaps coming up at 1150. We've given you the point-standing how the boats qualified for this afternoon's finals and certainly coming off a very fine win in their last dotting, given by Mickey Raymond, currently number one in national point standing, special win in record times. We mentioned that. Madison, indiana, and the winner of the season's first race at Miami. Another serious contender will be the number two Bolton Point Standing, miss Budweiser, given by P Shunneweth, winner of the two 1973 races at Ohlinburg, kentucky, and Detroit, michigan, and currently second in the point standings, as we mentioned, also in the field and doing a fine job qualifying the Atlas stand lines. The defending Gold Cup champ with Bill Munciebord, don't forget they won last year's Gold Cup in Detroit. They won the two and a half mile lap record at the Tri-City course. Brief, they did until Mickey Raymond came along. They had the old record as 115.979 miles per hour. That was said last year in winning the 1972 Atomic Cup. Also in the field, lincoln Pritt, driven by rookie Danny Walls, currently fourth in the point standings, winner of the President's Cup this year in Washington DC.
Speaker 4:This Madison's going to be in the field, driven by Tom Sheehy. The boat sunk prior to the Gold Cup last year, was refitted for this season and has raised all races but has been having its problems. The Red man will not be in the field. That will be one of the Red man boats. They do have a second Red man boat with Jim McCormick and that will be in the field. So one of the Red man boats did make it, the other one didn't. An ultra-dame, a very serious contender, driven by Ronnie Larson in the state of Detroit and Madison races. The boat will be racing this afternoon and had a very good time in qualifying.
Speaker 4:Value mark number two, driven by Bill Worster, is the boat designed and built by Bob Gilliam. It raced the first week at Miami. They were brought home to Seattle for some work to improve the ride and, as we mentioned, there would have been two value mark boats in the Gold Cup but one did not qualify as yet. The Miss US was the boat that qualified this morning. It missed the Madison race to be ready for the Gold Cup. It's one of the more revolutionary hydro using lightweight mechanisms and it weighs about well a little bit under 5,000 pounds. It's called the Delitis boat in the fleet, shaky Special, driven by Tom Martin, the owner of four shaky stores in Seattle voters, the former breathless number two, the blue chip, the loner and Miss Wickman that failed to qualify at the Madison race and it is competing out here today, mr Fabricator, a boat that qualified on Friday and of course we qualified yesterday with a faster time.
Speaker 4:Owned and driven by Tom Kaufman, this is a former Harris Club and Tahoe. Miss Kaufman 18 years experience in driving and limited boats, most recently in five and seven. He owns a stainless steel fabrication company that makes aircraft and hospital equipment. The trade name of the company is Mr Fabricator. And the other boat in the field, driven by Freddie Alters, the Pete's of Pete. This is, of course, the former Gilles Rooster tailors who mentioned earlier on this report, and it will be running as Pete's of Pete for the first time in the Gold Cup is now sixth in the national standing. We also have Bob Murphy's Marine boat in it. They're going to be the 13th boat in this field. And that's the rundown on this field. A little bit about each boat Now. We'll be back with how the heats will shape up. We continue with our report from the Tri-Cities in just one minute.
Speaker 3:Looking for a big car. What are you looking for? Buick, olds, pottyac?
Speaker 4:They're nice cars, but before you do anything.
Speaker 3:see your Northwest Ford dealer and see the family side sports.
Speaker 4:The 73 Fords won big awards this year and your Ford dealer sells more cars here than anybody, cars like the Ford LTD and the Galaxy 500.
Speaker 3:Standard equipment includes power steering, power disc brakes, automatic transmission and a V8 engine that can run on regular gas. All that was Ford's famous quiet ride. Before you spend your money on a new car, test drive a new Ford. It's all the car you'll ever need. See your Northwest Ford dealer today and have a good Ford summer.
Speaker 2:He's happy, he's happy, to see your Ford dealer. He's number one, he's number one.
Speaker 4:He closed back at the Columbia River for the 67th running of the Gold Cup race and we'll give you the heat rundowns now, at least for each 1A and 1B and also 1C, 13 boats having qualified 15 in the pits, 13 will be on the course and the course are first keep coming up in just about 35 minutes from right now, in each 1A will be Bob Murphy's Marine with Lincoln Thrift, the private pay-and-tact driven by Mickey Raymond. And now, in the background, let's call us for just a second for our national anthem.
Speaker 4:Hope you can pick that up okay over our broadcasting system this morning that we're talking to you on, as we were mentioning and giving you a rundown on the heat in 1A which we'll be getting underway at 1150. Bob Murphy's, marine, lincoln Thrift, the private pay-and-tact with Mickey Raymond out of Seattle. This Budweiser in the Miss US in each 1B will be Miss Madison Pizza, pete Notre Dame, mr Fabricator, and in 1C, shaky Special Pizza, the Atlas Bandlines, the Redman and the Value Mart. We'll be back with you along about 1150 for the running of each 1A at the 67th running of the Google Cup, with 13 boats having qualified. As we mentioned, top prize money for this event for first place $12,500, total $41,150. Open the banks of the Columbia River. This is Pete Gross from Pasco Washington. Thanks, so long. For now.
Speaker 4:We're moving along toward Heat 1A. The field for Heat 1A Bob Murphy's Marina, chuck Hickley, the driver, danny Wall, glick and Frisk Special from Phoenix Arizona. Pay-in-pack, mickey Reiman, the record holder, a Gold Cup qualifying record of 124.310, ms Publizer with Dean Chenoweth and Miss US with Tom Deese. Those are the five Bolton Heads of 1A. The record holder, Pay-In-Pack, 124.310, a beautiful record run earlier this week here by Mickey Reiman in the Gold Bomb Seattle with a fast lap of 124.636.
Speaker 4:This race, starting at 12 noon, at 12 10, at 1 B, part of 12 30, ms Madison, pete Sopete, notre Dame, and Mr Fabricator Heat 1B, shaky, special Atlas, van Lines, redman and Valumart, and Redman 2 and Valumart 2 did not qualify for the race. They failed to qualify so a 13-vote field will go today. High points 49-38 for Pay-In-Pack after five races, ms Publizer 47-38, 200 points back. 1600 points are available for the hydro planes here and the APB-8 Gold Cup here on the Tri-Cities. In just a few minutes we'll be back to give you a little history about the Gold Cup. Right now let's call Jim Hendricks back in. Okay, before we do bring up the history of the Gold Cup field, cole and the Boat For our stations on the network line, we'll have more Gold Cup coverage in 1973. Coming up after this pause time out for 60 seconds.
Speaker 3:Before you settle for less car than you wanted because your budget isn't as big as you'd like, compare your Ford Dater's 73.
Speaker 4:Torino, compared to Renault, against any car you'd like, your Northwest Ford Dater welcomes comparison because his big-value Torino is the best-selling mid-sized car.
Speaker 3:Andy wants you to know why Torino is one car you can take a good Ford summer vacation in with the whole family in comfort. Ford Torino is priced to make you happy and styled to make you very proud. Torino is strong, solid and quiet riding and it's designed to run on regular gas. So compare Torino today at your Northwest Ford Dater's.
Speaker 2:It's all the car you'll ever need. He's happy to see your Ford Dater. He's number one, he's number one.
Speaker 4:Okay, this is Jim Hennick back along with Phil Cole as we broadcast him from Gold Cup 1973. Phil, how about a little bit of history of the Gold Cup? It's a most prestigious event, I believe, in all of the unlimited high-definition history. Well, as the fleet begins to come on to the race course. Jim, you're right. The APBA Gold Cup was started in 1904 when a group of yachtsmen in the upper Finger Lakes area of the state of New York got together and began to race their cruisers, their launches and the like, and it evolved into the Gold Cup race which we run here today. This is the 73rd running of the Gold Cup today, or the 69th, I believe, running of the Gold Cup and full-boast, for the entire five-boat fleet leaves the pit area at one time. Moving up the race course now is Lincoln Triff, 7-1-quarter percent special, miss Budweiser, miss US Pay-and-Pack and Bob Murphy's Marine. The entire fleet leaves the pit area at once and they'll be coming up here with a five-minute gun to do the sound of the race course Just about one minute. They're out there now warming up on this race course.
Speaker 4:A beautiful race course here in the Columbia River, not a cloud in the sky. You can see the beautiful sand-colored mountains back in the background, way off of the distance, a few puffy clouds out over the Cascade Mountain. Water conditions are perfect. Just a slight little ripple on this water. It couldn't be any better. Beautiful crowd thronging the river shore here on the Kennewick side of the five-minute gun. Thousands of people all on both sides of this river. That was the five-minute gun for the start of E-1A and it's a big confrontation, as somebody said in the pit area this morning, jim, between Pay-and-Pack, Miss Budweiser, lincoln Triff and a couple of unlucky boats.
Speaker 2:Yes, that's right. Right now, Lincoln, here comes the team Right next to us.
Speaker 4:The entire field, as Bill mentioned, is out the five-and-Pack, miss Budweiser, the Atlas-Bandline, or rather the Lincoln-Triff. Then here comes Murphy's Marine with Bob Murphy and Miss US with Tom Deere, and they seem to be riding pretty smooth, bill Newton, would you say. The course is in pretty excellent shape for this race. Very good, jim, probably the finest course they've had this year yet. So we should see, maybe speeds and competition higher than we have in the past, possibly, while we've set records all over the country so far, I don't see why we're down here Now. We'll find out. We had one record set earlier this week, on Thursday, when the Friday Pay-and-Pack qualified, bill, as you remember, 124.310 for a Gold Cup record and, of course, a record for qualifying in a two-and-a-half mile oval. Well, it looks like a whole parade led out there in front by the Cabover and Lincoln Triffs, followed by the Pride of Pay-and-Pack, the Miss Budweiser, murphy's Marine and also up here in this US Jim. Let's very quickly run down this field. Lincoln Triff is the winner of the President's Cup this year In Washington DC. She's been a second at the Miami-Florida race for her best two finishes. The Pride of Pay-and-Pack has won the Indiana Governor's Cup of the Champion's Park Plug Race in the Miami-Florida and she's been a second in a couple of races. Miss Budweiser has won the Kentucky Governor's Cup race in Lowensboro, kentucky, and also won the Horace Dodge Memorial in Detroit, michigan.
Speaker 4:Miss US is a new boat, is not one, although Tommy DeEth, her driver, has done a fine job and this is the first time we've seen the Murphy's Marine boat from the Seattle-Washington-Atta race this year with Chuck King-Bing the driver, and a lot of the racing is going on in the race sports right now. These drivers are out there checking various things oil pressure, manifold pressure, actually roughing up the water here and there for each other. And if we look at this field, I think you'll see Dean Chenoweth try to get the inside in the Miss Budweiser, danny Walls and the Lincoln Triff might start a little further outside than the rest of the field. I imagine Mickey Freeman might try to get the inside away from Dean Chenoweth. That could be quite a fight.
Speaker 4:Or Mickey might tuck in the number two or three hole and the US is going to also want the outside and Murphy's Marine's not going to want to start on the inside. So you've got two boats paying back in Miss Budweiser, who'll probably go for the pole and the other three will take what's left over on the outside. Maybe US will start further outside than anyone else. And these boats, of course, run with STP and the crankcase that in their oil STP, oil treatment.
Speaker 4:Next time you need oil, the first time you add oil or next time you have an oil change, use STP the Racers Edge.
Speaker 4:Proven Indianapolis as Gordon Johncock took the 500, proved on the NASCAR tracks by Ford's time with Richard Fetty, and proven here in the high-deploying pits of the Gold Cup 1973 today. Next time you're near your local service station, use STP products. Stp oil treatment will make your car run smoother, cooler, quiet, longer. Stp the Racers Edge. We are just about coming up now to the one-minute mark. As the white flag is getting ready, the yellow is out, the drivers are coming down the back chute, they're going to go up into that number three and four corner and come screaming down here for the start. And this will officially be the start of the 1973 Gold Cup race. And what a thrill it is to be here. I hope that you on the network line through the facilities of KORD, our local station, will enjoy the calling of this race throughout the day. And this very important event two weeks from today will be for the World Championship in Seattle. This is the climax of the season, this race and the race two weeks from now. As we close the one-minute gun, let's call over Phil Cole. And Phil, I believe you're right. Looks like Budweiser wants the inside. He's moving up the inside of that race course for the last 30 seconds, very slowly and really taking things easy, going up there Dean Chenoweth has and as he's going to be first in on that pin, he's going right inside the entrance pin to the number three turn as the clock ticks away. So it's Budweiser on the inside moving along right next to him right now is the Pay-In Pack who's going to come up to claim that number two lane, I believe. And 30 seconds before the start of the race, here they come. It's going to be Miss Budweiser on the inside of the race course on the number one lane and Mickey Riemen in Pay-In Pack waits back there and he's going to take the number two lane. Murphy's Marine's going to be left with number three Lincoln Thrift on the number four lane and on the outside Miss US, just about the way we called it. Here they come down for the start with six seconds, five seconds. Pay-in Pack's on the inside. Pay-in Pack ducks on the inside after the vote and left the entrance and as they start the race and Danny Walton first and Lincoln Thrift and Pay-In Pack moves the hand of Budweiser as they move down toward that number one corner, pay-in Pack, mickey Riemen, after they left the entrance boy ducked inside of the Budweiser we may hear from that. Lincoln Thrift is on top, pay-in Pack is second. Now Pay-In Pack moves up there and Miss Budweiser is in third place with Dean Chenoweth. So Pay-In Pack's first, budweiser second and Lincoln Thrift third. On the outside as the votes move out of the number one corner now the number two corner for the first time. So Mickey Riemen out strategy, dean Chenoweth coming out of that corner, jim Hendrick Right, it's Pride of Pay-A-Pack coming down that backhoe right now, that rooster tail rising.
Speaker 4:And in second place is still the Miss Budweiser with Dean Sherriff and he's hidden in that rooster tail. There's two boats there right down that backhoe right now, about three boat links back hidden in the rooster tail of the Pride of Pay-A-Pack. Here's the Budweiser, followed by the Lincoln Trif, miss US and Murphy's Marine as they come into the number three corner right now, boffing just a little bit and hugging into the inside of the turn of those boys, a Pride of Pay-A-Pack with Mickey Riemann Out of the great Northwest. Mickey Riemann hugs that boy. Oh, he just about clips that boy as he comes into the inside. Coming through his way can wide enhance them as the Budweiser as they come around. To complete Last number one, we'll get a time for him. Here's the Pride of Pay-A-Pack Budweiser. Here comes the Lincoln Trif in third place and we've got Miss US Pride of Pay-A-Pack. First, budweiser. Second, lincoln Trif.
Speaker 2:Third, lincoln Trif does a dipsy-doodle comes up high on the nose.
Speaker 4:Here comes the US in fourth place and our fifth place boat just coming out of the turn, the complete lap number one Murphy's Marine. Well, mickey Riemann's on top of the Pay-In-Pack, dean Chenoweth about three seconds back and Miss Budweiser here in 1A, lincoln Trif's about six or seven seconds behind him Coming down for the start. Dean Chenoweth had the inside but all of a sudden, as they came by about the first or second buoy, mickey Riemann was inside on the race course and evidently had outstrategy. Dean Chenoweth, we don't have a speed for you yet. On lap number one it looked like it was about 108 or 109 miles an hour on lap number one and we're on lap number two right now, the sixth lap race, and Mickey Riemann has moved away in good shape in the Pay-In-Pack. Mickey Riemann in first, budweiser second, lincoln Trif third, us fourth and Murphy's Marine fifth. Remember this is the gold cup. It's a contest of endurance and speed. You have to run all day to win this one. You can't bobble and these drivers know that.
Speaker 4:Coming down at the end of lap number two, it's Mickey Riemann in the Pay-In-Pack from Seattle Washington, moving down the race course and going across the line at the end of lap number two and he ran about 150.5 miles an hour on lap number two for Mickey Riemann in the Pay-In-Pack and that will be a new record for the Tri-Cities race course. If it is official 115.5 on lap number one, that's number two for Mickey Riemann. So as Riemann moves out of that down river turn out of the number two corner, he now has almost an entire turn between him and the Miss Budweiser Jim and the Budweiser comes out of the turn. He's going to have an entire turn between him and the Lincoln Trif. The Miss US is popping and banging badly as he moves down the straightaway and the Murphy's Marina is about a half lap behind here. On lap number three, chuck Hickley in the Murphy's Marino. In a pre-race show he mentioned I thought it was Bob Murphy but it's Bob Murphy's boat, but it's Chuck Hickley back in the race circuit and he comes around to complete lap number two and if he does so, moving into the number three corner to come around to complete lap number three, is our leader, the Friday Pay-In-Pack, and I do not believe that Miss Budweiser right now, after falling back, will do anything but fit in the second slot and pick up a sure 300 points because there's lots of racing. These boats must complete 450 miles each and they're to go all the way. That's 60 miles of racing on test of man-to-machine.
Speaker 4:Here comes completion of lap number three, the Friday Pay-In-Pack. As the Friday Pay-In-Pack comes, 114.2. On officially on our clock for Friday Pay-In-Pack and lap number three. Here comes the Miss Budweiser. Budweiser in second slot and getting somewhat of a rough ride. Phil, you've got a Budweiser nosing up in the air as he went by here that time. Dean Chenoweth of course has a lot of room to make up, but I don't believe he's going to make it up in this heat and we're on lap number four and he's quite a way bow, quite a way back. We've just been informed by the referee. There's no infraction on the start. So the start was legal and this heat is legal.
Speaker 4:Vicki Riemann on the back stretch and Pay-In-Pack. He is about half the straightaway ahead of Dean Chenoweth and the Budweiser here on lap number four, and Dean Chenoweth has about the same sort of a lead on Lincoln's drift and Danny Walls. So the first heat has been sort of anti-climactic. Vicki Riemann won the race coming down to the starting line, really by getting inside of Dean Chenoweth, beating him down to the first corner and widened his margins considerably since that time. Now Riemann's coming up on the back end of Murphy's Marine here on lap number four and he's probably going to lap Chuck Hickling in Murphy's Marine before this next lap is over. He's been averaging 114, 150 miles an hour for the first three laps around the raceboard and on lap number four he ran about 109.7 or 110 miles an hour. So, jim, we're probably on our way to a heat record for the dry city, to Tommy Cup and also a heat record for the APBA Gold Cup. That's right.
Speaker 4:Here comes our second place to go for our leader, six times around a two and a half mile oval for 15 miles. Our leader for a good boat ride, but prior to pay it back, with Vicki Riemann. It's now coming into corner number three. He'll cover out and take the green flag. The green flag will be up for Vicki Riemann, the leader, who's now coming to the apex of the upper turn. Here come around to complete. His fourth lap Will be the Miss US. And here comes our leader off the number four pin to come down to take green flag. One more lap to go for our leader, the prior to pay it back. The second place boat, miss Budweiser, just going into number three corner. And here comes the prior to pay it back for completion of lap number five and it's been about 109, 108 miles an hour on lap number five for Vicki Riemann and the prior to pay it back from Seattle. He's quieted down quite a bit because he has almost an entire straightaway lead now over Dean Chenoweth in the Miss Budweiser. Chenoweth gets the green flag has he goes by the finish. He's our finish line. He'll pick up 300 points and Vicki Riemann will pick up 400 points towards the goal cut when he comes around to this next lap.
Speaker 4:Vicki moving out of that number two turn in good shape in the wing wonder the prior to pay it back from Seattle. Washington has that rear stabilizer that provides about 450 pounds of lift for it and doing a fine job. Vicki moving up the back stretch in the prior to pay it back now has one half a lap to go before he finishes this race. Vicki Riemann moving into the number three turn now quieted down considerably. He has lapsed for 150 to 114 until he really needed it and since that time he's been slowing down but protecting his lead. So it's going to be Vicki Riemann, the winner in the prior to pay it back, and he won a.
Speaker 4:Miss Budweiser and Dean Chenoweth is going to finish second, Danny Walls and Lincoln Thrift. Third, tommy DeEthan, the US, is just now finishing lap number five, will finish fourth, and Chuck Higley and Murphy three will finish fifth. And here's your winner, jim of 1A. Here comes the winner, the prior to pay it back 400 points. 400 points for the prior to pay it back, about 104 mile an hour, that last lap as he takes the checker flag. And here comes our second place boat, for sure, 300 points, which all counts toward this long day of hydroplane racing here on the Columbia River.
Speaker 4:Here comes Miss Budweiser with Dean Chenoweth. Second place, 300 points, and he will take the checker flag Coming around the upper turn out of complete, his quick lapster on a 50 miles. A third place boat will be Danny Walls and the Lincoln Thrift. He'll pick up 225 points for a third place finish. Lots of racing to go in this 1973 edition of Cold Cobb. Well, jim, let's pick up something here.
Speaker 4:On the start of that race, mickey Riemann proved why he's the great driver that he is. He waited until the field looked like it was set up and just as they begin to turn down here for home, mickey was late and boy, he turned and dove into that number one hole. Far crazy. He drove right into the number one hole and the referee has checked with the course referees, of course we're a mile away here and he was really right on the money. He came right inside and really a fantastic job of race strategy by Mickey Riemann. He took the inside away from Dean Chenoweth and that was the race was over for all intents and purposes. Right there, jim. In other words, dean just slept a little bit too much room there when he had that number one lane locked up and when he did the fight of the impact, stuck his nose in. Here comes our fourth place finisher 169 points.
Speaker 4:Miss US with Tom D. Our fifth place boat is just coming down the bat sheet right now and I don't know if he's got to cut to the end. Where's our fifth place boat? Our fifth place boat? We have lost him somewhere. He might not have even completed the heat. Let's check with the referee, bill Newton. Bill, did he come around for a checker flag? I miss that. No, he didn't get a checker flag. He went back in the pit, jim. Okay, so that's the official word. He went back into the pit.
Speaker 4:Now, for those of you along our network line, we're going to recap what it has just taken place here on heat 1A and the preview of heat 1B, which is Miss Ureland Really pulling some strategy Now with me, of course, on this broadcast for the next two broadcasts. For that moment, matter is the Pete Grosz of KIO, the radius plus director there. Pete, I know that you've joined Seattle, which is a hydro crazy town, and I'll be Kyle Wester at our broadcast for the last couple of years, but I want to welcome you up to our broadcast crew, jim, thank you very much. A very exciting first teeth there that I witnessed with you and Phil and it was certainly one which Mickey Riemann used a little bit of strategy there right at the beginning to get that lead and he held it and he wired it out at the end for a very easy victory in that first heat.
Speaker 4:Pete, I'll tell you the strategy was for the birdwise to stay on the pin and for about 30 seconds after that one minute gun is found at the last half minutes to the side of the race. The birdwise is seen right along that number one lane just flowing very slowly. Let nobody take it. Then he came off of that nothing. Mickey got a little too wide. Mickey Riemann dove into that slot and it was his and for there on. It was no contest. I think that Dean Sheddler was in the birdwise was very wise. Once he had been beaten into the corner and beaten down, that back shoot, because this is such a long race that he just picked up a 300, sure?
Speaker 5:point.
Speaker 4:Well, of course, there are two, a lot of drivers and, jim, you know more about this than I do, but a lot of drivers like that inside and then probably not so many like to take it on the outside. Isn't that true? That's right. One of the guys that does like the outside isn't that is the man is one more racer than any other in the history of the sport and that's Bill Muncie, our defending national champion, who is not one of racers this year and he has a pretty good chance in section one three in the Atlas Landlines. That would be Bill Muncie. And Bill likes to take it on the outside and dive for the fin. If he keeps his RPMs up once in a while he gets trapped in a second or third slot and then they eat a lot of water and some of those hydro fans that may not know it at least still can be a very lethal weapon. If you have three boats. If you have three boat length, bleed on your man and you're in second slot and he's in number one on the inside, you can move over, slam the door on him and this happened to Mickey Eamon and costume the president's cup in Washington DC for the proud of fan pack, when the door was closed by four boats when he tried to stick his nose into late. Now today, pete, you try to stick his nose in at the right time, right there, yeah, right there. When he gets down to that number one corner and sticks his nose in when they're all coming across him, it's like Niagara Falls and about three or four spark plug wires were just tore off by the water pressure and he ran sick and he's burbling and that's costimally. Jimmy know they talked a lot over in Seattle about Dave Haronsberger and the part of paying back and what the stabilizer in the back means and the fact that the boat is lighter this year by about seven to eight hundred pounds. What's your opinion on it? You've seen it run on the circuit so far this year. Is that stabilizer a big help? Yes, and it works.
Speaker 4:The reverse, pete of the Indy cars. Indy cars use a horizontal stabilizer to keep them the cars down on the ground. He uses it in reverse for an uplift so that he keeps his profit, because only half of the propeller bites the water. The other half is what we see throwing that lucid tail and when they bog down in a turn they are full plate on that crop and they don't want that. They want that rear end right so that they can stay up there and keep their RPMs up. And if they get too heavy then they turn around and they have a problem and they start bogging down and they have a nitrous and get up. And that's the Mickey Riemann success. He comes off the corners like a strawberry and I believe that Mickey Riemann is with us right now. Uh, mickey, how are you? Are you down to fifth? I'm here here. Everything worked out pretty well. I can't hear Mickey. No, he has to put the phone near Mickey. I want to hear, I want to hear Mickey.
Speaker 5:Let's talk to Mickey.
Speaker 4:We're trying to look here, mickey Riemann, the winner in a private fan pack and ask him a couple of questions. Okay, well, I'm here now. Okay, mickey, good day, good. This is Jim Hendrick. I'm up at the starting line. How are you feeling down there, buddy? All right, everything fine here. Okay now, mickey, I saw some strategy out there. I want you to explain it. He's real shy. We're talking about it up here. On the start I saw the budwatcher with about 30 seconds hug, that's number one, uh lane. But all of a sudden he swung out wide just before he hit the floor, the exit pin, and you seem to stick to notice him. Did you see him open there? Yeah, I actually had been watching this thing happen from about two minutes on.
Speaker 5:You know, those things are so big and and they're really maneuverable at times, but sometimes they're not at slow speed, they're not very maneuverable. So I noticed that he was in the wrong place on the race course. Most of them were, in fact, it's two minutes. Well, you can recover from this if you make another loop, which he didn't do. So I knew that it would be in there very, very early. So it's hard to run your own pattern. You don't not be sucked in by them. But I did, and I knew that he was gonna have a lot of time to kill at the exit part of the turn. So I knew he'd be going real slow and actually I planned to either go on either side of him. But when I saw him killing time and moving out and I knew I had to go to the inside, which I really wanted anyhow.
Speaker 4:Yeah, I knew you wanted to be inside and you stuck your nose in there and came off that corner like a skull today and from there on you had some pretty fast laps. Do you guys have passed you're going those first couple laps? No, I just climbed out of the boat and ran right up here. I don't even know. Okay, well, they have official tires, but we had you over 114 mile an hour in one lap in competition. That's pretty good and you're on your way. We don't have the official times there's yet, but you're willing your way to perhaps a course record for a heat. But then, of course, I think after you whiten your lead knee, you had it. I think you wanted to save your equipment and you slowed down to 109 and 108 and your last lap was a little over 104. Did you do that on purpose? Uh, yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 5:We don't want to strain the curve anymore. We have to, because here's a 60 mile race and also the last lap. I passed a couple boats on the outside, which I did very safely and slowly to make sure that everything was all right yeah, that's right, you were laughing the field.
Speaker 4:Well, mickey, congratulations on your 400 point victory. I know that your friend's listening to us in Seattle and of course it's broken in around the country. Uh, wishing you the very best and let's hope it's a fast, safe race and nice work on that strategy, buddy. Thank you again. Okay, thank you, mickey Riemann, the driver of the Friday Fanpacker. He won a was won by him at 400 points. Second place went to the Budweiser with Dean Shetileth. He picks up 300 points. The Lincoln trip picks up 225 points for third place, while Miss US picks up fourth place at 169 points. The Murphy's Marine did not finish.
Speaker 4:Now we'll be back with more gold cup 1973 in 60 seconds of today's car buyers back here at the Stadeline, jim Hendrick, as we await the number, pete 1b, which we'll see. The Miss Madison piece-to-peat, the Notre Dame and the fabricator, miss Madison, is driven by Tom Cheehee and his qualification times. Let's turn over to Pete, let's see who and I want to be and then let's post어av계 right here on our very exciting race. Go OK, jim one day, which will be run at about 1230. She meant Miss Madison with Tom Chiiheed in the driver's seat, out of Madison, indiana. 104.529.
Speaker 4:The qualifying time for first afternoon's heat a pizza, pizza picked by Freddie all throughout a Detroit Michigan qualified at 111.114 miles per hour. Also in heat 1B this afternoon, starting at 1230 will be the Notre Dame, joined by Ron Larson, again out of Detroit Michigan, qualified 104.07, and the fourth boat in our heat 1B will be missed, you will be, starting very shortly, but first let's pause 60 seconds for this local commercial message.
Speaker 4:I'd have paid back with. Mickey Riemann, had a 200 point lead in the standings, with the Budweiser boat being the number two Boat on the national point totals. Red man number three. Lincoln putt number four in the Atlas van lines number five. That of course driven by the defending champ.
Speaker 4:One thing this is a new boat, as we were talking with Jim, with the private fan package using this year. It's about 800 pounds lighter than the one they last year used and, of course this we met you with Jim that stabilized in the back and also the honeycomb aluminum Jim. This is also probably a pretty good thing. That's making this boat go faster. This year I think we'll do you to bring in late boarder Fanny will also have a similar design is new to them that will be running out of Seattle very, very shortly. You want to describe the honeycomb horizontal stabilizer pin because I think you're the first one that came out with it and Asked approval to run that way.
Speaker 5:Yes, we decided it was in a ruling that actually what stated what it was basically legal as a Nonmovable or a movable device. We did find out that this season we changed the rules around and we stated that each boat would be decided upon its own merits. As far as the fins were concerned, on our boat we do have three vertical fins and also one horizontal which is movable from the cockpit. We feel that it's something like indy ran into that. We feel that we can improve both attitudes, improve the speed and hopefully keep the safety factor up.
Speaker 4:Okay, late boarder, so you stay right around because we're gonna drive analysis from you every once in a while. Because he drove, of course, is we remember the Notre Dame and the Hallmark homes, and now he's getting that turbine ready. Here's the official finish the average speed of heat 1a, with Mickey Rieman driving the pilot in fact, winning at 110.905. The footlizer Second with 300 points at 105.058. The Lincoln drift finish third, the 225 points. This US with Tom deep fourth with 169. Bob Murphy's Marine with truck Hickman driving. Good enough, finish pulled into the fifth. After the fifth lap. The boats are on the course right now for the start of heat 1b. We're going to pause now 75 seconds Before we continue our cold cut coverage as we take time out to this word from my local sponsor so you went to shakey's University?
Speaker 3:yeah, but I bust it out.
Speaker 4:I feel my time learning to make shaky speech, yeah, but I was pretty good at those courses today.
Speaker 3:They've been pepperoni salami. Oh yeah, yeah. Well, pepperoni is a gut course and I got 80 and tomato puree 85 and beer 80 and compared of Jesus was that?
Speaker 2:how come you're?
Speaker 4:back with I fast. Wow, how come you're busted out of shakey's University? I failed to fun. You failed fun, yeah, so that's the toughest course, at shaky's you, if you can't show people a good time band, they bust you out of there. So what are you doing? Now, if you ever wonder why most pizza parlors are quite like shaky pizza parlors.
Speaker 3:Well you have it. They feed you fast. Shakey's feed you fun. Shakey's feed you fun.
Speaker 4:This is Jim Hendrick back along with Phil Cole as we are about to start. So the word I engineered it gets ready with bike number one and we'll be picking up the boat as they come across.
Speaker 2:Right now, let's go up top and do Phil Cole's.
Speaker 4:The boat was formerly Harris and Harris club. The boat was formerly Harris and Harris club. As such was national champion and Gold Cup champion. 30 seconds now before the five-minute gun.
Speaker 2:Are we starting at the five-minute walk? Five minutes.
Speaker 4:Moving up to the five-minute gun. Okay, the boats are on the course right now. Here goes Mr Fabricator by and we're setting official. Here's the five-minute gun and it's just fired. The five-minute gun has fired on the course of pizza, pete, this Madison, also the Notre Dame and the Mr Fabricator, as the five-minute gun has fired and there's a lot of racing taking place right now. Here comes Pete to Pete with Freddie Alder. This boat, formerly, up until this race, was known as Gale-Susphil and Phyllis. Freddie Alder was. We were kidding him about Pete to Pete. He said well, call me and show me Fred. And he said call Lee Shannon, the boat owner, call him the Godfather. I said all right, so all four boats are on the course. And Phil, you want to flip a coin? And if you were a Betty man, which I know you don't- Ben on anything or?
Speaker 4:who would say about this one. Freddie Alder, all the winner was not too much problem. That's a very current and informative message. Philip, that's working with you for ten years, I knew you'd do that to me. Well, jim, I guess most of them bring out the worst in all of it Another day with the mighty lark. Good to see another name back after that accident.
Speaker 4:I kind of wish it had stayed home. I'm kidding, I know Shirley Mendelsohn's listing to us over in Seattle. I can't tell you how happy we are to have that boat back on the race course. Well, I hope the Dr McDonald and Shirley Mendelsohn McDonald, of course will be proud of their boat now. They've worked it so hard that Ron Jones has shot down in California since their accident in Washington. That's just been a really.
Speaker 4:The Potomac River has just been a curse for Shirley's boats. What certainly has. She had the misfortune to lose a boat and a driver the year she won the race there in rec Manchester. Shirley has poured millions of dollars into this sport, continuing in the footsteps of her father, the late Herb Mendelsohn, who won this race, the Gold Cup in 1937 and Notre Dame aboard the Notre Dame in Detroit. Well, perry drove for Herb and did a fine job in winning that race, and Shirley, of course, has continued to find Notre Dame tradition down through the years.
Speaker 4:Speaking of tradition, what better tradition could you want on the race course, jim, than Miss Madison, the boat which waited until the race was held probably the only time it will ever be held in Madison, indiana, to win the race? We have two former winners. Boats out there, this Madison and Notre Dame and of course the Shane is stable of a pizza piece has won the race with Gale, with Spirit Offs, with Atlas Bandlines and the others. Matter of fact, the only crew made we have in this race, being of Betty and Racing, is Tommy Kaufman in Carrollville, ohio. He has won the Gold Cup, but the boat he's in won the Gold Cup back in 1966 with Mira Slovak driving it as Harris Dowell Mith at Detroit. That's right now.
Speaker 4:Our boats are near that one minute mark. As we're waiting and let's check out the referees and Bill Newton, how much time do you think we have? Well, we'll have another minute coming up, jim. So we've got a minute and a half or two minutes before we're on the start. Mark, right there. Two minutes to start the race, one minute to the one minute gun and Pete Gross while watching your first unlimited hydroplane race.
Speaker 4:What's your question? It's pretty exciting, I'll tell you it really is, jim. Well, we'll have to do it where it's on. You're going to see that we'll get the hot dogs closer and closer in the competition when they hit five of us. It will be really terrific, not just for the start but for most of the heat, and I imagine the strategy that goes into something like this is really something too, and you get down to that final heat, isn't it? That's right? They figure out what engine they want to use and then they say, well, look, we've run the last heat. Will the engine hold another heat because it's running good? Should we chance putting a new engine in? The new engine has got one thing wrong with it. We're in trouble so it's really.
Speaker 4:It's a hairy situation for the crew chiefs and owners and drivers to make it, and when they change engines they decide to change engines. They can do it in about 20 minutes. On these quick disconnects, I want to. I've got to prepare myself, jim, because when that one minute gun goes off I have to hold on to something or I'll get knocked right off this platform. Listen, I was going to ask you, as far as we talked about this a little bit earlier, as far as getting that inside position and the outside position and this, of course, a very key thing, as you pointed out, and there goes the one minute gun. I'm glad it was holding on to you. How about in this race? Are there a couple of these fellas? The light to get the inside of the outside at the start I would say would be the Notre Dame. If he wants it, let's go up to Phil Cole right now as they slot, as he calls them down to the study line, as we are under the one minute gun. I kind of figured Freddie Alder might go for it, but he's going on the outside. Jim, I don't think you'll see him going for the inside. Tommy Kaufman's coming up. He wants the inside, but Tom Sheehe's going to leave the room to get in there. So watching those rooster tails now it doesn't look like anybody wants to start on the inside this time.
Speaker 4:Let's watch the clock with Bill Newton, the referee, as they turn around. At 25 seconds they begin that turn. It's going to be Kaufman on the number one lane in Mr Fabricator, sheehe on the number two lane in Miss Madison. The number three lane will be Fred Alder in Gales, rooster Tail, pizza Pete and on the outside Notre Dame and Ronnie Larson. Here they come in second. Everybody's got the rooster tails up. They're a little bit early. Five, four, three. It's going to be close. Bill one and two beautiful start. And Freddie Alder put into the front in Pizza Pete. As they went across that line followed about a half a link back by the Miss Madison and Tom Sheehe Watching them now as they hit that first turn for the first time, those rooster tails.
Speaker 4:Well-paced. It's Tom Sheehe and Miss Madison on top. That's the yellow boat and somebody got wet. It was Tommy Kaufman in the Mr Fabricator. Here's Freddie Alder moving outside now of Tom Sheehe and Pizza Pete. Pizza Pete and Miss Madison moving off that exit boys side by side and very rapidly. Ronnie Larson is moving up real quick on the outside in Notre Dame. So one, two, three down the back threats Madison, pizza Pete and Notre Dame down that back.
Speaker 4:Threat here on lap number one of Pizza Pete having a slight lead. Jim, yes, he only has one boat length lead over the Madison and in hidden in this boat there were snails is Ronnie Larson in the Notre Dame. They're going to hit that number three corner all together. Here comes Tommy Kaufman moving up from fourth and he's going to punch in there. So they should all be right now reaching the apex is Freddie Alder and then on the number two lane inside of him and always Tom Sheehe and Miss Madison swinging wide to keep his RPM up and to challenge as the Notre Dame with Ronnie Larson. As the boats tromp the exit pin, the number four boat goes into the end of spin and is cut down. Here we come with Pizza Pete. I have a boat length now one boat length. Here comes the completion of lap. Number one is Freddie Alder and Pizza Pete by two boat lengths.
Speaker 2:Here comes Ronnie Larson in the Notre Dame and Tom.
Speaker 4:Kaufman. All four boats. There's not that much difference. All completed lap number one of the leader goes up. It's Freddie Alder and Pizza Pete, followed by Miss Madison, and we're going to have a challenge for second place, I'm sure of that with the Notre Dame Don't you agree?
Speaker 1:Ronnie Larson can get the Notre.
Speaker 4:Dame riding. He's going to pass somebody. He has a problem on that corner. That boat is falling over on its nose in the corners, as you can see, jim, and that's throwing him down. He makes up a lot of room in the turn, these straightaways, but loses quite a bit of a turn. First lap was 107.399 for Pizza Pete and Fred Alder. Now here comes Ron Larson, moving up on the outside of Miss Madison was suddenly slowed down a little bit. So Notre Dame moves up into contention now four, second place.
Speaker 4:So a three boat race. Up that backstretch is the Freddie Alder and the Pizza Pete in one and three seconds back is the Notre Dame and the Miss Madison and suddenly the Notre Dame slows down. Her engine just about stopped. Ronnie Larson had trouble with engine stopping. Now he moves past Tom Chi-Hee in the second place and they're both moving up on Freddie Alder, the leader, and Pizza Pete. So one, two, three Pizza Pete, notre Dame and Miss Madison, ron.
Speaker 4:Lap number two 107.399 with the speed for the first lap and Freddie Alder is going to have a race on his hand. If Ron Larson to keep that Notre Dame running the way he's got it running now, we'll get a speed for you, jim, before we give it back to you here, look out. Miss Madison comes way out and Larson almost collides with him, but he gets away from him and moves around the inside. Now Larson is moving on. Freddie Alder Alder ambies for about 100 miles an hour in that lap and Ronnie Larson fixed up six seconds on that lap on the Pizza Pete and I think Ronnie Larson's going to challenge the lead quickly. Yes, he is. As he said, he's had trouble all week in the turns where the boat has been stopping for fuel against your rich and we're completing lap number two as Tom Carpenter comes around in fourth place and we have two of six laps.
Speaker 4:Our lead boat is still a Pizza Pete. He's coming off the number two 10 and suddenly shake loose on the outside and coming up hard and heavy is the Notre Dame. And well, while we're running the flop of the Notre Dame, in third and only about a couple of boat lengths back is the Madison. Now Madison starts on the inside and comes off. That exit pin has started to come up in the inside of Larsen. Larsen's lucid tail starts to rise. He shakes it loose. Now he starts to gain and pulls away from his Madison. So our lead boat down the back shoot. After two and a half laps it's going to be Pete defeat with Freddie Alder, ronnie Larsen in the Notre Dame it's Tom Sheehy and this Madison Tom Kauffman in the fourth place boat just coming out and coming down the back shoot in Mr Fabricator.
Speaker 3:KIR Oseal.
Speaker 4:Here's the Pete defeat coming to the apex 100.446.
Speaker 4:It's a little over 100 mile an hour for our lead boat. This will be the completion of lap number three. Halfway through, freddie Alder pulls us out of that exit pin, shakes it loose on the Pete defeat and starts to gain a little ground. Phil Cole will find the seconds between the first and second place boat. This Madison slipped inside again. This Madison is challenging. It's not going to be a boat race for seconds.
Speaker 4:Here's the Pete defeat we have to stop watch on. Here comes the Notre Dame, freddie Alder in the Pete defeat. Him, freddie's dropped a couple of cylinders in the Pete defeat. That engine doesn't sound too healthy and the Notre Dame's also running rough on its right side. So Miss Madison may surprise a lot of people yet they're actually just picking up racing room very slowly. On the Pete defeat. The Madison and the Notre Dame are great race for second place back there between those two boats. Now Ron Larson slows down a little bit Now he picks it up again and Madison got a ton of flame out of that engine, tommy. He backfired as the boat came around the apex of the number two corner here on lap number four, up the backstretch. Now is Pete's defeat, and he's a little bit further ahead now. He averaged 100.446 for two straight laps, so Freddie Alder seems to have enough beans down in the engine room to stay ahead in the Pete defeat of the head of Notre Dame and Miss Madison.
Speaker 4:But, anything could happen. Ronnie Larson is going to have to go just a little harder if he wants to catch Freddie. It looks like he's going to catch him and then he slows down or Freddie speeds up our boat and it doesn't happen. Tom Shee keeps diving in there.
Speaker 4:For third place, although his boat still is running a little bit unsanitary. Wow, Ron Larson really wobbled right to left as he moves out of that, moves into that corner. Now Tommy Shee is being forced to turn real tight by Larson, as the leader is still Fred Alder at the end of lap number four.
Speaker 4:Here comes the Notre Dame to complete his lap number four and lay on his heels as the Miss Madison and Tommy Carpenter is also down there and will come around and clean lap number four. So our first three boats are four laps through 102.2. On lap number four from Fred Alder in Pete defeat Okay, 102.2. That's an unofficial time. Phil's pretty Phil. He usually comes within a tenth of a second to beat, right on his clock on our broadcast. Here comes Mr Fabricator to complete lap number four. So the next time Pete the beat comes around and down that back seat and around the turn, he'll take a green flag. Okay, larson's got to get in and get out of it now. 102.975, officially. Larson's got to get in and get out of it now. He either has to come up to the beat to beat or give up because they're on lap number five. Only one more lap to go.
Speaker 4:So, let's see what Ronnie Larson does, let's see if he gets to move A lap and a half to go now, and let's get an interval for you, jim, to tell our listeners just how far.
Speaker 4:Freddie Alder is ahead of Ron Larson. We're watching as he moves into the turn area. Fred Alder has a lead of eight seconds on Ron Larson in Notre Dame. Pete defeat eight seconds ahead of Notre Dame and Freddie Alder seems to be on his way to the bank. He'll get the green flag this time.
Speaker 4:Around this two and a half mile Columbia River Racecourse here at Pascoe, washington, he's been leading in a beautiful day. Pascoe, richland and Kennewick joined the sponsor, this Gold Shop. A beautiful day, the beautiful golden hills in the desert in the background and the beat to beat, not running as good as he'd like to, but running pretty well. So beat to beat. That reads about 100 miles an hour. That last lap, and now he's on the final lap and Ronnie Larson is still trying to catch him. This matters as now falling back to a respectable third after challenging for the lead for some time. So Ron Larson's got to catch him and it's going to be hard for him to make up as much as five or six seconds on one lap because, though Freddie Alder spoke and sounds like it's running just a little bit sick, ron Larson can't seem to catch him in Notre Dame At that racecourse. A minute ago, jim, there were eight seconds between them. Let's see how many there are now, but we're watching it and timing it off. One of the boys and we find it now, ron Larson, is now nine seconds behind. So the matter of fact, he is dropping back a little bit and Freddie Alder, if he keeps it going, is on his way to the bank. And the reason is very simple as Ron Larson comes out of the corner, the boat just isn't handling well and he's having to slow down to get it out of there and stand a sanitary condition, and that's allowing Freddie Alder and the heavier and the little more seasoned beat to beat to move right away. I'll say, for all the three laps though, we had a three boat race for first place, 100.446. For lap number five, 100.446 that's about the way they've been averaging there from the other lap. Okay, here come all the take the checker flag. Here comes the beat to beat with Freddie Alder to pick up 400 points here in 1B as he sweeps the victory list into his engine, as he takes the checker flag. Here comes the number two boat, the Notre Dame, driven by Ron Larson, here's this matter to do a challenge for three laps and step back and took 225 points for third, and Tom Kauffman is just at the apex right now, the final turn. He'll come around and pick up 169.448. Now for our local stations around the network line. We'll have more cold cup 1973 in 60 seconds.
Speaker 4:This is Jim Hendricks, back here at the Columbia River, along with Pete Gross and Phil Cole. And right now let's call in one of our former drivers and a man who hopes to drive again in the very near future, and that's Red Lumars. Red Lumars, would you give me a driver's standpoint? If you watch these boys and it looked like a pretty good race there for the first three laps Well, I think it's going to be right on down to the deadline today because of the way the boats are running, because the boys are driving and they're driving hard, they're equipment's up in any one shape and the man gets the break, he's going to win. I'd like to see them all be winners.
Speaker 4:Well, you know he's been a lot of driving with Freddie Alder. He's a pretty smart boy and you know he said he was running with a sick engine. But imagine to stay away from the Notre Dame. The Notre Dame, I think, could have caught him. Except I don't think the whole of the Notre Dame has settled down in those turns as yet. Well, the way the corners have been going, he's going wide and he's hooking a little bit each time and that makes where Freddie gets a little more distance between, even as Freddie's running slower, freddie's keeping that tail up and he's not losing power because he's going in the corner full bore without dropping power.
Speaker 4:Okay, red Lumars, who has driven many, many limited boats, of course drove the Saviors probe and we won't now say anything officially, but about time we hit the street of Detroit back in the east, but it just might be back in a few seconds. Here is this Madison, who challenged the three laps and stepped back and took 225 points for third. And Tom Kauffman is just at the apex right now, the final turn. You'll come around and pick up 169 points forward, forward. Place Now for our local stations. Allow the network line, we'll have more. This is John Hendrick, back here at the Columbia River, along with Pete Gross and Phil Kohler. Right now let's call in one of our former drivers and a man who hopes to drive again in the very near future, and that's Red Lumars. Red, would you give me a driver's standpoint if you watch these boys and Now a little better than 1B.
Speaker 4:It was fun on the spot. I thought it was more exciting. There was a real battle on there. You said, jim, for second spot, and I think that you might confirm this for a second, that the pizza pizza really looked very, very good in the straightaways and it looked like it made up quite a bit of speed at those particular points on the straightaways, backstretching coming fast here. Yes, I wholeheartedly agree and, as I told you before and I'll tell our listening audience, this is going to of course, wear on as the day goes more and more into the final contention of heats and of course, the redraws and down to the final speeds are going to get tight and engines are going to be changed and sometimes tempers, and it's really going to flare up.
Speaker 5:We're just waiting, right now, from words, from the pits to bring up putting all the winning driver in the pizza pizza.
Speaker 4:Now, the pizza pizza, of course. We'll race, of course, 2 weeks from now in Seattle and we're going to have a Pan-Plan world championship 50,000 dollar race. That's going to be a wing ding affair because these boats will be able to go a little faster. Detroit and Seattle are the only two cities on the race circuit that maintain a three mile course. The rest have been cut down to two and a half.
Speaker 4:So, it's six times around a two and a half mile course or five times around a three mile course, because the shoots are longer and the speeds could very well be a lot higher. The part of paying back likes to trim its tail and change its engine for a two and a half mile course as compared to a two and a half mile course. Okay, now we're trying to get down to the pits and let's see if we got Freddie Alder on the phone right now.
Speaker 4:Freddie Alder is coming down to our pit microphone, which we have installed. We want to thank KORD for being our network station and let's see if Freddie's on the line. Freddie, the winner of Heat 1B.
Speaker 5:Now let's get the lady away from them and we'll be all set.
Speaker 4:Okay, let's see if Freddie's coming into our microphones and we are looking at the starting line. Freddie Alder is way down at the pits and we have, of course, kord men who are going to drive over to us, and of course he's driving right now. He has a sponsored boat, the pizza pizza, and other folks that are listening on Cairo are very interested in what he has to say about his boat and its performance. Okay, freddie, congratulations on your 400-point victory in Heat 1B, but it's kind of like you might have some troubles in the engine room, is that right?
Speaker 5:Yeah, I had some foul plugs when I went out that the 5-boat just before the 5-minutekan, but there wasn't much you can do then, but just run the race and hope nobody pushes you too hard.
Speaker 4:Okay, now Ronnie Larson is starting to come up on you, but he seems to be having trouble in the turns and for almost three laps it was you and the Madison and Ronnie Larson, but pizza, pizza seemed to pull out and it seems to be Ronnie. Real smooth on this water, that's way away. Freddie, are you getting a good ride?
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, getting a good ride and the boat is turning good and with a few first parts in it.
Speaker 5:I think we're ready for the next beat.
Speaker 4:Okay, now pizza pizza is becoming a sponsor for this race and the next and I know there's folks listening on Cairo and Seattle would like to know are you really seriously taking the name of Anchoby Fred?
Speaker 5:Yeah, and we have a couple other names for the other crew members too. Yeah, like the Godfather right. That's kind of right.
Speaker 4:And really we can think of a few Jesus thoughts each.
Speaker 3:We got a better slogan you know, pizza, pizza, pizza can't be beat.
Speaker 4:Well, it's moved that way and he's 1B here and we're going to wish you best of luck the rest of the day, fred, and of course, I hope that we'll be talking to you again, because when we talk to you, it means that you're a winner.
Speaker 5:Yeah, right after the final. Okay, freddie, thank you.
Speaker 4:Freddie, all there, the driver and the winner of Heat 1B in the pizza pizza determinational. We're talking about theeeee. Seen, now gotta look down the straight stretches. I, the consistency of pizza Pete was excellent too. When you look at the lap time for the individual lap, 107 miles per hour in the first lap, two identical clocking ensuing oven. 3rd lap and a hundred point four, four, six miles per hour. The fourth lap, a hundred and two, and then again in the third lap, 100 miles, 0.2 or six miles per hour. Know, very consistent in all laps, the pizza Pete.
Speaker 4:Well, we have a brief moment. We might review, for those that just joined us, what happened in heat 1A, which was run earlier today, and then we'll give you the rundown on what's going to take place as far as the next heat goes. Let's review the heat 1A, which was worth 400 points, the winner, mickey Raymond, and the pilot paying back averaging 110.950 miles per hour. That was his average speed, with a very easy victory in that first heat 1A. Number two boat night race was being channeled to the Miss Budweiser, with 300 points to Dean and the Miss Budweiser and the average speed in that boat, 105.058 miles per hour.
Speaker 4:Lincoln Thrift was third in the heat 1A this morning Danny Walls and 225 points to Lincoln Thrift for the national point standings. Danny, averaging 90 miles per hour. And then Miss US with 169 points collected, averaging 84 miles per hour. Bob Murphy's Lena, with Chuck Hinckling in the driver's seat, did not finish the race. So again in heat 1A, the winner was Mickey Raymond and the pilot paying back Miss Budweiser, dean Channel with number two, the Lincoln Thrift number three and Miss US number four.
Speaker 4:And the heat just completed, which Jim brought to you along with Phil Cole, pete's a Pete's and Notre Dame and Miss Madison. Quite a race, especially by the number two spot for a couple of laps there, with Notre Dame and Miss Madison battling it out. Pete's a Pete's very good down the straight stretches and the averaging for that race probably about somewhere around 102 miles per hour. We'll have to wait and get that officially for you and we should have that in just a minute. Let's take a look down and see what's going to be coming up. As far as heat 1C goes, now it'll be starting. We're about 13 minutes away from not at one o'clock this afternoon. That'll feature a shaky special with Tom Martin out of Seattle who had a qualifying average speed of 99 miles per hour. Also in heat 1C will be the Atlas Dan Lines with the defending national champ, bill Muncie on Detroit, michigan.
Speaker 4:Who qualify for this race. We get back, by the way, on Wednesday, the first qualifier at 116 miles per hour.
Speaker 4:The third vote in heat number 1C, which will be starting at 1pm, will be Red man with Jim McCormick out of Owensboro, kentucky, averaged 102 miles per hour in qualifying, and then Valium Art with Bob Gilliam out of Seattle, averaging 105 miles per hour during the qualifying, will be the fourth vote in heat 1C. So you have two Seattle boats in there, tom Martin and Shaky Speets in the Valium Art with Bob Gilliam, and that pretty well takes care of the field for 1C. Jim, we might mention that, a former satellite. The matter was, uh, he's down along here. I believe you just made it to the only race course where, if your boat blows up, you can actually be really drifting along with a Tom Elaine. Tombo wead, I thought I'd take your cue. I do. You do that.
Speaker 4:We want to thank Bill Whipple and the rest of the KORD staff for their fine assistance and the origination point of our network for this week and of course this the most coveted of all trophies. Thank you, whippen. Thank you Cork Crew. Jim, I'd like to all we also should thank Bill Whipple of KORD for the nice bottle of champagne that he sent to me, and I'm sorry you didn't get any. Moving along toward the one-minute gun Watching the field. I'll set him up for you. Bill Munty is moving now like he's going to start Now. Watch this, jim. Bill Munty is moving deep into that turn.
Speaker 4:I almost bet your new hat I don't wear a hat that he goes deep into the turn just like this on the start and comes down to pick up one of the inside lanes and Bob Gilliam is going to fight with it before it. Jim McCormick wants the inside. The last time we had a race where nobody cared about the inside. Now you got a race where three out of four drivers want the inside. Let's see what happens. We move along toward the one-minute gun, bill Munty, and the half of the man line. Let's give a listen this time, jim, as he goes by.
Speaker 3:AIR Oceania.
Speaker 4:Well, he seems to have cleaned it up that time around the race course. We said he might be able to clean it out. Bob Gilliam's waiting for the leader right now with Jim McCormick. Mccormick's the leader, bob Gilliam's the follower. He's standing behind him. Bob Martin, out there, the shaky speed, the shaky spatial boat From Bellevue. His following goes to boats around. So let's see what happens. Here's Munty coming thick and zipping off that lower corner as we move along toward the one-minute gun. That one-minute gun do to come up here in just a few seconds. We're less than five seconds away. Let's listen to the gun. There. It is One minute gun and the boats are all up the back sheet right now Leading the pack up to the upper corner.
Speaker 4:Still Munty and the half of the man line, followed by Value by with Bob Gilliam, red man tobacco with Jim McCormick and shaky speed with Tom Martin following the rest of the pack as they go up to the number three corner and the clock here starts to change colors and signify these drivers that they are on the one-minute gun. Munty is going deep. He's on the far side of the race course and moving deep up into that turn in Atlas man line. Gilliam's going to go deep after him to leave the inside for Jim McCormick. Jim McCormick sees what's happening and he begins to turn inside to take that number one lane too. He had almost given up on it but now he's going to take it as the clock continues to take along. 15 seconds left and McCormick's going to be on the inside in the red man Gilliam number two lane, atlas on the outside and shaky speed is going to follow him across. Seven seconds left, six, five. Here they come and Atlas man line is going to hit it on the nose. Munty's slowing down now Still, munty hits it up and on and Munty's falling out of the way. He's not getting out of the man line. Value Martin's second Value Martin lost the clubs already and Red man is third. As they moved down into that first turn for the first time, value Martin lost the clubs on the right side of his engine and he's getting some unhinged fuel out of there as he moved into that turning area on lap number one. So Atlas man line just moves away from the field very quickly. Now Jim McCormick moves past Bob Gilliam McCormick and Red man Gilliam and Value Martin. So Gilliam has begun to slow down and shaky speed now moves up in there with Tom Martin. What the back stretch. It's taken shape very quickly Atlas man lines, red man, value Martin and shaky special and we're going to have with the lead boat at one half a lap Right now into this race.
Speaker 4:He has a good eight second lead over the second place boat, which is McCormick, but challenging. Now Coming up with third Bob Gilliam. He does a little buster, loots a little ground and stays right in there in the Red man tobacco is Jim McCormick, but by only about a second ahead of the third place boat, bob Gilliam, while our fourth place boat coming down the back shoot now is Tom Martin and shaky speed. Our leader will now be Bill Muncie and the Atlas Amide. He comes in close, shakes the moose, puts his foot on it, he starts to rock from side to side, he shakes the moose, his moose to tail, starts to rise and he comes right to complete lap. Number one. Second place boat is just coming out, the apex of the turn. Well, here's our leader.
Speaker 2:Bill Muncie.
Speaker 4:And that ends up sounding too good. Here's that battle for second. Bob Gilliam and the Red man, tobacco and Bill will get the separation out of the climb. Here comes our second place boat.
Speaker 2:He is Red man tobacco Marks One, two and a half two and a half seconds.
Speaker 4:Seconds five Gilliams and Martin comes down to the shaky pizza. Come around to complete lap number one. Bill Muncie outdistance the field on lap number one by 15 seconds and averaged 109.706 miles per hour and doing it he ran 15 seconds to the remainder of the field the first time around. That was agreed as he went by the start finish line here at the end of lap number one. Now he's up the back stretch and as he goes by the starting barge, red man just begins to move out of that turn. Uh, muncie has about a two-thirds of the straightaway lead over Redman, 109 706. Lap number one for Bill Muncie in Atlas Van Lines, redman is second, valium Art is third, shaky's Pizza a distant fourth. As a matter of fact, shaky's Pizza has lost a half a lap already on the leader. Now the leader is Bill Muncie, atlas Van Lines and he went sideways just a little bit in the corner but Bill Muncie turns him like he's on rails and he came right on around there with no great problem. He hooked the nose of that coat around and brought it through that turn slightly at the end of lap number two. Bill Muncie and Atlas Van Lines on shot average about 110 miles an hour for that lap. Just about 110 for Bill Muncie and Atlas Van Lines and his lead over Jim McCroney in Redman is going to be a lot faster, a lot longer than it was the first time around this race course. It was 15 seconds the first time around this race course and even though Bill Muncie is driving very conservatively and that's Jim McCroney, that's what he's driving in lap number two, 25 seconds behind Bill Muncie, 25 seconds behind 110, 2837 miles per hour.
Speaker 4:Lap number two on Bill Muncie in Atlas Van Lines. Now, the value Mark has been told to Jim is running very thick. You can see an unhinged-nighted fuel coming up out of the engine. Yes, and his skinny as car goes right now on the right side Bill, you call that as he came by. What he actually did is actually blew a spark plug right out of his hole. Well, that would be fish bait.
Speaker 4:And here comes Mr Martin now Tom Martin in the shaky special riding in fourth place as it comes across the complete lap number two, while our leader is coming around to the midway mark for lap number three. That's Bill Muncie and he's not riding right either. He's in with the hot dog. Still, he'd be in a problem, but right now he's making a hole together for 400 points. Well, yeah, it still doesn't have that much to do. This time His fueling drill was the easy draw of the first pre-elimination piece and he's been averaging about 110 miles per hour. This lap will be average to 104.6 miles per hour and this lap we're going to find out. He's a good 45 seconds ahead of Jim McCormick in the red man by the time Jim gets down here.
Speaker 4:I think, McCormick just said that second slide for sure. Now it's a long day with 300 points, and make sure that he just finishes. Remember, jim, it's a 60 mile race. It's a race of endurance plus speed. You've got to finish all the heats in the gold cup to win it, and these drivers know it. It's going to be a long afternoon. It's longer than any other race that we run. So you know they're going to take it easy.
Speaker 2:103.9 officially for Bill Muncie on lap number three and Jim McCormick now at 43 seconds behind.
Speaker 4:Bill Muncie, jim McCormick in red man, almost half a lap Not quite half a lap behind Bob Killerman in the value mark, still running stick. Let's take a look at him as he goes by here in the glasses. It's number 12 on the back end, that white miss coming out of there is an un-anided fuel. You think he might lose that fuel or run out of gas to work to complete the heat. No, because he's only getting enough really to keep that engine running and that fuel is of course not what it's doing. It's getting on his skin, it's getting on his helmet, it's getting on his clothes and he's got to be careful when he gets back to the pitch. He's going to be burned a little bit by the by that, actually, that fuel being on his skin, but nothing really worry a great deal about. Here's Bill Muncie coming out to complete lap number four and he's going to lap Tom Martin at Shaky's Pizza. I'll just show you the actual difference. In lap number four, the lap of Sam Lines has about 100.5 miles an hour. On lap number four, lap Shaky's Pizza. He's now a full lap ahead of Tom Martin at Shaky's Special and Bill Muncie's on lap number five.
Speaker 4:So one see, as we figure has been kind of a parade. Actually, bill, we've called all of them. We said they were in 1A. It looked like the pride of paying back with a charge of blood lines and paying back keeping it together could win. You came right out without no questions. That Pizza beat in 1B and while we were in between heats I came right out with our buddy, pete Gross, and I said it's got to be the Amazon Lines if you keep it together. Here's our speed for the lap number four. That's 100.897. Here comes our second place boat, jim McCormick, the great hit four lap in the red van to back on Bob Gully.
Speaker 4:I'm still main seat on third place though coming out of that quarter number four quarter. The only real supplies in the first section of heat to meet Jim has been the fact that Mickey Riemann swiped that inside away from Dean Chenoweth. We talked to Mickey Riemann between heats on our network on the radio and he said he was watching for several about four minutes. That's all what Dean was doing and when he knew Dean was going to go slow he knew Dean had the sweep out wide to get his RPM up. That's when he ducked in. He said he planted that way.
Speaker 4:Yeah, well you can almost see it. It surprised us, but Mickey's a good driver, he's going to find John. Here's the green flag out now for Bill Munty and Adler's van line. He has one lap to go. He averaged about 105.8 miles per hour in that lap but he's now more than a half a lap ahead of the second place boat, redman, and Valiumard is in less of a favorable position than that. He's a half a straightaway in back of Redman. So Bill Munty conceivably could lap the third place boat before the race is over, although he's going to have to go to do it Now.
Speaker 4:Here's what we do after one A1B and one C, we put all the names back in the hat, we redraw and the boats run another heat against each other. In about an hour, 105.634 on lap number five missed it on. Our little buddy buyer special watch is here by about two tenths of a mile an hour. These watches are made by buddy buyers and they're calibrated with speed instead of seconds and they're very easy to read, especially my new bike locals. They're a lot easier to read.
Speaker 4:Up the back stretch goes Bill Munty. Here's the second place boat goes across the start finish line. At the end of lap number five, redman. Bill Munty enters the number three, turn on lap number six. So Bill Munty, coming in here behind value mark, is going to get the checkered flag. Value mark will get a green. So Bill Munty will get a checkered value mark will get a green Telling he has one more lap to go. So give Munty 400 points towards the ATV A code cup.
Speaker 4:Bill Munty crossing the starting line now at Atlas and he averaged 104 miles an hour for lap number six for Bill Munty. So at the end of lap heat number one, pizza, pizza and Atlas fan lines, both owned by Lee Shanis and Pay, in fact owned by Dave Harris burger, have 400 points. This Budweiser, redman and Notre Dame each has 300. This Madison value margin, lincoln 50 each have 225. Miss US has 169. As does Mr Fabricator. Miss Murphy's Marine does not have 169. It's shaky special. And 127, excuse me, 127 is the fifth place, but Murphy's Redman's did finish. So that's the point. Standing at the end of the first section of the 1973 APBA gold cup race. Once again, jim Henry. Okay, so we've now completed 1A, 1b and 1C, with 2HB and 2C to go and then have them go cut the field from 13 to 10. Then we'll run a second.
