Students from local high schools participated in “Building a Hovercraft” using a Universal Hovercraft kit. Also, cruising hovercraft, ven- dors, commercial exhibits, models, concessions, hovercraft displays, and a hovercraft history tent can be seen at the race site until Saturday. The racing will conclude with a ban- quet at Rose featuring a renowned guest speaker in the hovercraft industry. The final event of World Hovercraft Week 2002 will occur on Sunday on the Wabash River and Fairbanks Park. Chal- lengers will attempt to break the current hovercraft world speed record of 85.376 mph. It is expected that speeds will exceed 100 mph. If the record is successfully broken, it will be submitted to the “Guinness Book of World Records” for publication. The course begins several miles upriver from Fairbanks Park. The hovercraft will travel on a timed course to the I-70 bridge before turning around and heading back upriver. One driver at a time will be allowed to attempt the course, and mul- tiple tries per person will be allowed. Closing Awards Ceremony A closing awards ceremony will be held Sunday afternoon at 3 p.m. A trophy and $1000 prize will be awarded to the person with the highest speed above the existing record. Other trophies and plaques will be awarded for activities that occurred throughout the week. Closing speeches will be made by Mayor Anderson and Presi- dent Hulbert. Plans for the 2004 World Hovercraft week are already in the works. If approved, the 40th anniversary race will take place on Lake Burley Griffin in Canberra, Australia, in honor of the world’s first hovercraft race, which took place at this loca- tion.
