As a kid I went to the Seattle World's Fair in 62. Miss Thriftway raced that season as Miss Century 21 with Muncey driving. At the above race she sported the Century 21 logo as a promo in 61. Memories, memories!

I have touched the Gold Cup and used to race hydros as well. Sea Fury was my APBA boat

Not strapped in, no oxygen, engines running way past normal, glad they wore helmets these brave men in their crazy flying machines chased their dream, to list their name on the oldest active trophy in motor sports the gold cup and to be immortalized . I looked ( as a kid) at these men as " monster tamers" meeting them brang them down to earth, they were just ordinary men, with a will to win, I thought they were "supers" they were bigger than life. When they came to Detroit, I rode my bike to the river front(4- miles) to watch them test everyday thru the week. No words can explain the fury of man against the river, Detroit river was made by God for the hydro racing, the toughest course, and unforgiven to anyone who pushes to far A perfect course to challenge for the cup. this should be manitory course for the gold cup U SURVIVE THIS RIVER

great shots of some of the old classics. too bad this wasn't filmed in color. miss spokane had one of the more distinctive designs. sadly she seems to have gone down to DJ's locker.
