I love being able to compare watching from the bank and seeing the first person perspective it’s really cool

Just like last year another fantastic post production edit using all cameras and available audio. Thanks Tri-Cities broadcast crew for capturing an epic win for the Graham Trucking JMK team. Time for APBA publicity staff to create some wikipedia entries for the sports top drivers. Unlimited Wins, Gold Cup Victories, outboard and inboard national championships etc.

This is a lost summer for me. I have watched unlimited hydroplane racing since 1958. Just like Jake Lloyd in the Madison movie, I would jump on my bicycle when I heard the roar the Allison and Merlin engines, meaning boats were on the river,testing for the Governor's Cup. The race was just a part of Madison and its history. Kids in Seattle grew up with the same experience. Covid-19 has robbed the United States of everything this summer, including over 150,000 people. I will never forgive it for taking the hydroplanes away from this summer, which, at 65, I will never get back.
