Race organizers were seeking ways to reinvigorate interest in what they see as a floundering – if not sinking – sport. A self-administered survey was distributed at the race with those completing it having a chance to win a souvenir shirt from the races.

  • The Second Running of the Gold Cup Fast Boat Section Was Slightly Smaller in Size
    The second running of the Gold Cup fast boat section was slightly smaller in size. Sponson damage from the madhouse start caused Muncey to withdraw the Atlas, so the first turn was not nearly as crowded, as the second section got under way. Chenowith put Miss Budweiser out front coming out of the first turn and they were followed by the Oberto, Squire Shop, and the Pay n’ Pak. The Thousand Trails went out early with a broken crankshaft. On Lap 2, Hanauer pushed the Squire ahead of a faltering Oberto and the Pak did the same on Lap 3. From there it was pretty much a boat parade as they continued to put distance between one another. The Bud averaged 113.782 for the win, nearly two miles per hour faster than the Squire. It was then all Miss Budweiser, wire-to-wire, as Chenowith produced a record setting performance in a hotly contested Gold Cup championship final. The beer boat’s five-lap average was both a Gold Cup and Lake Washington course record of 123.814 mph, as was the Bud’s Lap 3 circuit of the course at a blistering 127.728. While Hanauer and the Squire did their best to contend, the Pak was the closest pursuer for nearly the entire final. Staying on the Pak’s heels for three laps, Hanauer made his move at start of Lap 4 on the front straight and then gained significant ground on the Pak in the south turn. Cornering hard, he put the Squire into Lane 1 to make a final run on Walters as the two boats sailed through the floating bridge turn.

Prior to applying for the study tour, each participant completed a 30-hour National Consortium for Teaching about Asia (NCTA) seminar. Once selected, they all completed an additional 20 hours of pre-departure orientation, including FCCEAS webinars (funded by the US-Japan Foundation; archived webinars are available at www.smith.edu/fcceas), readings, and language podcasts. Under the overarching theme of “Human and Physical Geography of Japan,” the participants’ experience began in Tokyo, then continued in Sapporo, Yokohama, Kamakura, Kyoto, Osaka, Nara, Hiroshima, Miyajima, and finally ended in Naha. Along the way they heard from experts on Ainu culture and burakumin, visited the Tokyo National Museum of History, heard the moving testimony of an A-bomb survivor, toured the restored seat of the Ryukyu Kingdom, and dined on regional delicacies. Each study tour participant was asked to prepare a report on an assigned geography-related topic to be delivered to the group in country and then revised upon their return to the U.S.

  • 5-June Issue-1
    JUNE 2010 2010: Another Short, But Very Competitive Season The Swami Karl Pearson photo 1 During the decade of the nineties there were 97 Unlimited races or an average of 9.7 per season. A respectable number that had the sport venturing into new places like Honolulu, Milwaukee, Norfolk and Kansas City. Some sites stuck around for a few years but others did not. At year 2000 the sport settled back into the six old established sites, and in the aughts (or whatever you want to call them), there were a total of 63 races for an average of 6.3 per year. Every now and then a one time event would pop up with adventures to Valleyfield, St. Clair and Lake Havasu which had a two year run beginning in 1999. Clearly this is not a good trend if the sport intends to grow. What strikes me as strange is during that period in the nineties it always seemed like there were never enough boats to properly fill out the fields for those races. Now the opposite is true. The sport can bring 10-12 teams and a case could be made that half or more of them are capable of winning. Not just winning when the favorite breaks but out running the competition in a given heat when all is dialed in correctly. What is now needed is more than the 5 race schedule to showcase this increasing health in teams and competition. (As of press time Evansville, Ind. is not on the H1 schedule). Those competitive teams, as usual have been favorites for the last few years.
