Uh all right, so that's enough of me happen and uh and digressing about this race. Let's jump in and listen to that radio broadcast of the 1987 Seafair presents, the Budweiser Cup on Lake Washington.

1987 Seafair Broadcast Begins

SPEAKER_03 4:33

Hello, everybody. This is the sixth race of the year, the Budweiser Emerald Cup here in Seattle, Washington, on a two-mile course, the smallest course that the unlimited hydroplanes have raced on since the mile and two-thirds in the season opener at Miami back in the middle of June. Top qualifier, and no surprise to be Miss Budweiser with Jim Croft from Cincinnati. We'll be talking Jim check the field on, which is by the way the largest of the season, and this, the sixth race of nineteen eighty-seven here in the city of Seattle. But first, let's take this timeout.

Jim Croft On Miss Budweiser

SPEAKER_03 5:05

Back here on Lake Washington in Seattle, Jim Hendrick along with another Jim, Jim Croftill from Cincinnati. Jim, the Miss Bloodweiser running pretty good this year. You only lost one race, that was in each right.

SPEAKER_01 5:15

That's four out of five, not too shabby. Not too bad at all. Uh the crew's done a magnificent job on his boat. Uh, you know, it's taken us about two years to design and build it, and the guy did it right there in a shop uh here in Seattle, and uh the boat's just fantastic. It runs, it does anything if you want it to do, uh it turns, it goes straight, it it just does the job. And what about the two mile course now?

SPEAKER_03 5:35

You had a mile and two thirds the first race of the year, but you're now running longer shoots than two and a half mile course. Will you set the boat up differently for this because I think the turns go up a lot faster?

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Well we'll have to here, uh every race course seems to be different. You think you could run the same setup, but you can't uh here we have the long straightaways, even though it's a two mile course because the turns are so tight. And uh we won't be able to go into these turns uh hundred and sixty like we did at uh Pasco or Detroit. But uh with the phone quite a bit, and I think the uh the competition speeds are gonna be down into one twenties probably.

SPEAKER_03 6:05

It seems that as blood wise as it seems to. Of course, all racing teams they have a real good year and then a couple of bad years, and they have a good year. It it seems like it's a cycle.

SPEAKER_01 6:13

It seems that way. Uh it looks like this is our year. Uh last year, even though we won the uh championship, you know, we only won three races, and I really had to fight the boat and uh and uh the guys really had to work hard and uh uh I think we all learned pretty good lessons on what a really a race boat should be over the last couple years, and uh it now it looks like uh Chip is having his bad luck and we're having our good luck, and I don't know, it's like you say it runs in cycles.

SPEAKER_03 6:35

Jim Cropfeld, who's your national high point champion defending and also has a link up on the national championship for the second year in a row. This is the sixth race of 1987. We thank Jim Cropfield, driver of Ms. Budweiser, for his time. We'll be back to run down the field after this from your local sponsor.

The Final Heat Start Setup

unknown 10:15

Here's Junior Jim Hendrick.

SPEAKER_03 10:17

See when the boats came back in toward you. I believe that's the boy Alberto is just heading out. One of those very few Berlin engine-powered boats heading out with George Woods, the rookie, back out on the court. And that's left less than two minutes to go. Less than two minutes to go to the start of the race. Little drama. Here's our final field. It'll be the Miller America with Chip Hanauer with 800 points today. Mr. Pringles with Scott Pierce with 700. O Boy Alberto, as uh Don told you, just going out. George Woods at the wheel with 600. Miss Budweiser, Jim Croftville, 569. Miss D. Galley, Ron Armstrong at 394. Miss Rock with Jack Berry at 394. First office, as reported by Don Poyer, is Miller Urban, Frank Kenningtown of Volvo, and he is out there right now. That's the way they stand, as the boats are out on the course. It has been a beautiful day. We have over 300,000 people. The log boom from end to end of the back shoot completely loaded up. I think those people can walk down across the boats and doesn't somebody have locked down and never hit water. I was just watching uh everyone stock each other, and right now the Miller American and the Pringles are out in front of the back shoot waiting for the Budweiser to appear. What do you see from your vantage point? I see the one-minute gun is fired at the Miller American along with the I LC Miller American's in lane one coming up the back shoot running the one-minute gun. It's Mr. Pringles followed in lane number three by Miss Budweiser.

unknown 11:36

P.

SPEAKER_03 11:36

Gali, the C L's fourth up there, followed by, let's put our binoculars on, check that vote out, is the old boy Oberto. And also the Frank Cage Rutter's following the field. He'll count. He sees there's six posts out there. He will return to the pit and follow the field and come down towards you. Right now, as we look at our we have 28 seconds to go. The boats are in the apex, so corners number three and four. It looks like Miller American still wants lane number one, and he does, as Chim Hanauer wants to arrive, but now he ducks in. Misty Galley is in lane number two. Over Alberta, lane number three. Miss Rock in lane four. Singles be on the outside in lane five, and this Budweiser coming from way back in the pack and a great flying start in sixth place with five, four, three,

Croft’s Flying Start Breaks Away

SPEAKER_03 12:20

two. He's gonna hit the money. It's Budweiser running the money with a flooding start. Wait, he's in the pack. It looks like a Bill Munsey start from years and years ago. It's Budweiser. Oh, he's right up in his face busting as he comes down to you, Dott. A beautiful start by Jim Crossfeld. It was just like the late Bill Munsey. Coming around on the outside, both Roddle. Everybody else way back. And he's into the third before everybody else. He is going past the exit boy down the back two before the motor even gets there. It is just hitting it right now. That's how big the lead is. Better than oh, two rooster tails. What a start by Croftwell. At least 10 boat length lead as a half a lap has expired. Here in the final heat, Miss Budweiser with Jim Croftbelt in the corner number three. Hangs it on the hook as the rest of the tail. Custodize off the skit, man. He's in the apex of the corner. They first lead. Mr. Pringles is now down and lost power. Pringles is down in the back shoot, has lost power. Second place is the Miller. Third in the first lap is Mr. Bullboy O'Burno. Also missed Rock. And that's the way they stand as the Budweiser has just completed lap number one with about a three and a half second lead over the second place. Miller American, it's down to you, Don. It has been a long time since anyone has seen a start like that. Jim Cruz of Bozo making up for an earlier heat. He was way outside. Full throttle. Just a beautiful start. He is just leaving the turn as the Miller goes into it right now. Third lead. Better than a third. Almost a half a straightaway lead. That's incredible. Final Budweiser. Alberto just coming driving out, Jim going into third. One and two. Here's Randy Sand as the first lap for Bud Rosser. 138.915. 138.915 as it comes down and completes lap number two. He has about a 10-second lead over the second place, Filler American with Chip Vanhauer, who likewise has about a 15-second lead over the rest of the field, led by Oprah Alberto with the rookie George Woods. And also another rookie, Jack Perry, in the KISW. And uh the Miss C. Galley with Ron Armstrong is floating in the infield. He's out of the race. As is Mr. Pringle sploating dead on the back shoot. Not doing anything but the driver. Scotty Pierce is watching. Here comes the leader towards you, Don. Well, that should be if the Budweiser holds on. That'll be victory, I believe. What? 61 for pretty little. And that was man, that was an impressive start. I can't get over it. He went so deep. He he went up like he wanted to be in lane number three, and everybody turned it. He kept going down deep. They all had to slow down, and he had like a full monthly start. He had a nail from way back there, and he didn't even let his foot off the gas. And as that gunfire, he was flipping across. Everybody then started to get on the accelerator. By that time, he was Hong Kong and George Hugh in corner number one. Well, here it is, as the Budweiser coming around to complete path number three of five in this championship of the Budweiser Emerald Cup 1987 in Seattle. First place is the Budweiser going through some rough water, mountain around. Second place as the Budweiser comes off the exit bin, corner number four, just going into corner number three is the second place Miller American. And third place to Old War Alberto, fourth to Miss Rock, KISW. The singles and the seat jelly are out of the race. They will not finish as the leader comes down towards you, Don. Jim, I can just hear the fans here in Seattle say it now because they are used to seeing a start like that by the great, the late Bill Munsee, who used to do that. But sometimes in the old days, back in the 40s and 50s, they used to come out from under the floating bridge down there. They'd hide out there and come flying down near the shore. Reminiscent of that was Jim Crossbow with that great start. And that made all the difference in the world because the miller is running very well. But with that start, wow, what can you say? How many buttons are lap number one? Lap number two, 127. Lap number three, 128.5. And here comes a third-place boat coming by us down. And that is the boat boy over the short woods as our leader. With one more left to go, this will be the green flag lap. You'll see a complete four of five. Budweiser swings out with Jim Crossville from Cincinnati, Ohio. Comes out at about lane number two. He takes the green flag, only one more left to go, and Jim Crossville will have just about clean the slate, losing only in Detroit to Mr. Pringle after winning in Miami, Evansville, Madison, Tri-City, and looks like less than left to go, Don. And he's got this one. What do you think? He's got it wrapped up. That would be five out of six for 1987. I think the national points rate should be put to bed. Let's face it, folks. That boat is running so beautifully, it has raised the limited hydroplane to a new level. Well, he just lost to Miss Rocky SW voting right down beside me. And he is right across from us, and he's going to be out of this race also. So only three of the six boats are running at this time. The Budweiser, first, second place to Miller American, third to the rookie George Woods, in Old Boy, Alberto. Jim Harvey's boat names on a whale of the chops since joining us last week in Tri City, Washington. And it'll be awarded fourth place to KSW because he was the last to break. Now here we come. George Woods in Old Boy Alberto gets the green flag with one more left to go. And for the fifth time in six places. Dunn? Well, hats off to that big red, white, gold, beautiful Budriser boat. Like I said, Bernie Little and that crew has raised Nitroplane racing to a new level. And it's only a matter of time now to see how the other crews and other boat camps will try to close that gap because it is simply sensational. And keep in mind, the Miller American was running very, very well today. And it's not a case of everybody not running all that professionally or well. They're doing extremely well. If the Budweiser is so much better as he goes on now, going very close to the log boom of the back shoot for his victory lap and two cross failed. You deserve it. Why don't you go down and get him uh and bring him to my microphones as soon as you can, Don? Meanwhile, we'll tell everybody along the network line from coast to coast, and we'll be back after this timeout.

Results Recap And Guest Reaction

SPEAKER_03 17:58

Well, this is Jim Effick, along with Don Hoyer, back here on the shores of Lake Washington in Seattle, where race number six of a nine race schedule is now history at this fudweiser with Jim Cropdell still doing his parade lap, going around, and now coming in as the third place for Oboy Alberto. It is going to be the Fudweiser first, Piller American second, Oboy Alberto third, Mr. Pringles is overall fifth, and Miss C. Gally Crab Lake is overall sixth in our final. And it's amazing that the Fudweiser, after having been a little hooking and taking out a little water and finishing fourth in the last preliminary, he got in with 569 points amend with a deep start. Everybody else was kind of, you know, feeling their way to that line, watching the clock. He had a time. He was way down. Oh, only about about five city blocks from that bridge. And he was out in the last outside lane, about lane number six, and he came flying Bill Musty style. And when he hit that line, everybody else was just getting on it. And he was already down the first turn before, and out of the first turn before they even got down there. With us right now is the Vice President of the Corporate for Circus Circus, a man of seen many races, and he's been a former car racer. We want to say a little bit of Mel Russian right now. Mel, you've uh seen these books before because you had a circus circus entry for a while, and also you've seen them by by taking our ESPN cameras up in the helicopter from time to time.

SPEAKER_00 20:16

Well, it was a great race today, and of course that start that Jim Copfield uh thought that was uh that was a dandy. It's uh reminiscent of some of my stock car racing days. We'd get a yellow flag, and if we are back in sixth, seventh, eighth place, we'll get a good run down the back straightaway and through the uh through the three and four turns to uh get a head start on it. But that was uh that was great to see, and of course he did a great job. And like you say, uh you know Chip Hanar was not uh not slow, but he just got uh circled there at the start. And I think Jim Harvey's vote the old Ferdo uh did a great job for uh the problems they had earlier in the season.

SPEAKER_03 20:45

No doubt about it now. You know, we come right down to it. We're going to Syracuse, New York, all the way back from the great northwest state of New York, Syracuse, then San Diego, then we're coming to your town. And information is it all after you when they said, Well, we're going to race in Las Vegas, and I thought, well, okay. Maybe they'll get 25,000 people away from the uh the craft tables and the and the slot machines. Maybe 25,000 was driving that 40, 45 minute drive out the lake east. And I understand, uh by official account, over 250,000 people, the largest crowd in the state of Nevada sport system. What do you think about that?

SPEAKER_00 21:16

Well, it was great, and of course, that was a uh the record by the parks department, and uh they you know have a pretty good uh handle on things. So it was a true uh crowd. It was a great uh race, even though we had some problems with the uh with the weather, but it turned out great, and everybody is looking forward to the return this year uh you know in September for the uh Thunderbolt.

SPEAKER_03 21:34

We'll be back with more action from the Fudweiser Emerald Cup, and we're waiting for the winning driver to approach our microphones after this timeout. Out of six for Jim Croffville, the driver, and Bernie Little, the owner. The average winning speed for Miss Budweiser, 124.5 mile

Winner Interview And Lucky Scarf

SPEAKER_03 21:56

an hour passes. Lap lap number one at 138.9. Second place to Miller America with Chip Panower, Mr. Pringles. I had some problems that did not finish down. The third spot was taken by old boy Roberto with George Woods. Fourth to Miss Rock and the fifth to overall, I believe, Mr. Springles. Let's double check it. Mr. Mr. Pringles, the Sea Lakes was overall six. That's the way it was. Don, what do you see down there? I got a winner right in front of me. Jim Crosfeld, congratulations. There is a man in this town that people used to simply either love or love to hate, and that was Bill Munsey. And they love Bill Munsey's start, and that was a vintage Bill Munsey's start. Fantastic Jim.

SPEAKER_02 22:31

Well, I saw what everybody was doing, and even when I came down here with a minute and a half ago, I knew it was going to be early. I didn't have time to make a loop up, but I think just go through the infield to try to get the inside, and it was still under a minute. And I had myself a timing room from way down here in a hole, and I just made myself hold it all the way up, and they were all fighting on the inside, and I just went way up in the hole and just aired the Budweiser out, and I guess we hit the minus about a hundred and eighty five, hundred ninety mile an hour, and uh it was over at the start.

SPEAKER_03 22:55

We heard a lot of oohs and a lot of ahs because you did get it out of shape a little bit coming down that much straightaway. Typical Seattle racing though, huh?

SPEAKER_02 23:01

It's typical, you know, every

SPEAKER_03 23:06

I think it might be important to point out he's got this blue scarf wrapped on his on his on his belt right here. That was one thing you didn't have when you first tested the brand new beautiful Budweiser here in May, and that was when the blowover occurred. You got it on here, and now you're coming back victorious. I know that was heavy on your mind all week.

SPEAKER_02 23:19

It was, it really was. Uh you know, I received this scarf last year from a very dear friend, and it just signifies luck. Good luck. And uh the only time I did not wear it since he gave it to me is when I blew over.

SPEAKER_03 23:30

One other question. We have this every week it seems, but how good can this boat be?

SPEAKER_02 23:36

I can't imagine, I tell you. When I came down on the start starting, I looked down at you about 185, and I still didn't punch against the back of the later. They just uh even coming off the turns, I don't even push it all the way down. It's awesome. It's just uh that's all number four engine, man. Nothing else for us to put number four in. Does the job every time?

SPEAKER_03 23:52

Well, you got a little rest now before you go back to Syracuse. Congratulations here, Jim.

SPEAKER_02 23:55

Yeah, go home and go to work now. Yeah, go back to normal life.

unknown 24:00

Nice code.

SPEAKER_03 24:01

Steve Crossbow, winner here in Seattle, Jim. All right, Don, maybe you can get the happy owner Bernie Little to the microphone while we take a 60-second pause for this word from your local sponsor. Today by always Don Poyer and uh special guests that we've been talking to in keeping stats would be the circus seconds vice president of Larson. Now let's

Bernie Little On Speed And Wins

SPEAKER_03 24:18

go down to Don Poyer once again. I understand Bernie Little's standing by. Don? Yes, he is, Jim. We've got him with us right now. And Bernie, uh we were reminiscing a bit with Jim Cropfeld. People of this town used to love get on Bill Munster, but they were used to Bill Munstee's starts coming way down the shore, real wide, going, you know, like what's right. And uh uh Jim's been starting like that, as you've been able to see here several times, and uh he kind of likes that because he's got all the shoe speed he wants, and uh he gets him out of trouble, keeps him out of trouble. He's out wide and gives everybody plenty of room, and he just out accelerates him and goes for it. So, needless to tell you, it's a great win for us. Our crew lives in Seattle, and uh uh this is their home, and this is yours on and stuff. But we just got to have the fertilizer number one in Seattle. He said he was hitting about 185 at that start right around the clock, which is zero that's equivalent. Yeah, and uh we have the computer on him, so he's telling the truth, and uh uh but uh it really was a thrill to see him do that, and the boat looks fantastic. Is this officially 61 wins, I believe, something like that? Yeah, that's 61 of them, and uh uh, you know, that's uh that also is a great thrill for me. And uh but I'm gonna be here for a lot more, John, and I know you will too. Congratulations again, Brittany. Great to talk with you. Well, great tell Jim Hendrick and tell everybody we said hi. I can he didn't swear, Jim. Ask him what time the airplane leaves for me. 630 morning. Uh 630 how the hotel coming. There you go. Tell him I can hear him. 630 nonstop policy, Florida. Okay, Tom, thank you very much. We'll be back after this timeout. Very nice day weather wise here. The Blue Angels gave us a show and thrilled us as they do every year at Seattle Seafair. This is the sixth race of 1987. It is a beautiful sight, and those of you who have never visited Seattle or come out about this time of year, you're gonna fall in love. Love with the trees, the hills, the Cascade Mountain Range, Mount Rainier with its snow capped, majestic mountain peak, and also the deep blue waters of Lake Washington, the clear skies of Seattle. It's just absolutely beautiful, and it's been a great day. Good day of competition. Some, of course, had uh engine problems. The winner overall, of course, deserves a win because that's where he started. I cannot still believe that start that Jim Crockville made so deep. I thought, where is he going? Everybody was up the bunch. He came on the outside, and like Mel Washington commented a little while ago, he just snaked him right there. He just they just didn't know where he was coming from, and that's the Bill Muskie trade from years and years ago. And I've seen many of those in my 25 years of broadcasting this sport. Once again, this Budweiser averaging 124.5 in the fastest lap, lap number one at 138.9. Jim Cropdell provides Bernie Little with his 61st career victory. Second place went to Miller American with Chip Hanauer. Oh boy O'Burno and a fine showing by the rookie George Woods in third place finish. Overall, fourth to Miss Rock with another rookie, Jack Berry. Fifth place went to Mr. Pringles, Scott Pierce, the driver. And sixth place went to Miss Seagalley, Ron Armstrong. And we have a world record for a two-mile course in lap number one at 138.915, a world record for a two-mile course set by Jim Crockbell, lap number one, of this final heat here today. Well, that'll do it on behalf of Bill Larson. Also, Don the Pitts, this is John Poyer, our engineer Eddie Bush, and our producer Kerry Jameson back in Detroit. This is Jim Hendrick, solo. Today's Budweiser Emerald Capricotta in Seattle, Washington, has been brought to you by Popeye's Famous Fried Chicken. You're gonna love that chicken from

SPEAKER_03 28:07

SPEAKER_04 28:23

Well, that's all the time we have for this week, Knuckleheads. Hope you enjoyed listening to that race broadcast from almost uh 40 years ago, back in 1987. So many big names in the sport back then. Uh it's uh really interesting to think back on that time. There was so much money, effort, and so many people in the sport back then. And looking at what we have now, uh we probably have a better uh show on the auditor now. We have uh uh boats that were within 10 miles an hour or so in uh qualifying. There's more parity in the sport and looking back to 87. Uh weather was at the top of the class and it was uh at least 30 miles an hour, if not 40 miles an hour faster than some of the boats at some of the races here. Anyways, it's always fine uh for me to go back to the stock lane and look at some of the races from your side of uh I've got some interviews of I've got some uh reactions from Safer or the people drivers looking forward to getting more interviews out of the uh we're gonna have some more fun with the show and uh some more fun things on the horizon.com as well as on social media platforms or on Facebook and Instagram, it's on the
