"US" SHIELD
The "US-l" number is awarded annually to the national high point winners in recognition of scoring the highest total points or, in the stock outboard classes, the highest "average" points scored during the racing year. The winners also receive a small US shield patch for shirt or sweater, which may be duplicated and painted on the winning boat.
It has come to our attention that some drivers have painted the shield on their boats when they are not entitled to do so. If the shield is on the boat because the owner or driver won it in a previous year, the year should be clearly shown or the shield must be painted out. It is illegal to use an unauthorized number on a boat and General Racing Rule 31 is specific about it. This also includes improper use of "US-1 " or shield representing it. Any driver using the shield or number unauthorized should be reported to the Activity Vice-President concerned or to National Headquarters.
 

IN MEMORIAM

    Bill Tuttle of Northport, N.Y., died on Jan. 3. Bill was a prominent 145 hydro driver and East Coast inboard fans will recall the Red Top series, as campaigned by Bill and Bob Tuttle. He was an active member of the Metropolitan Inboard Racing Association. Members join with Region 2 officials in extending deep sympathy to his family.

   Roy Dossin of Detroit, prominent businessman and power boat racing enthusiast, died Feb. 3 in Detroit Memorial Hospital at the age of 69. He was the owner of the famed Unlimited boat Miss Pepsi V, which won the 1947 Gold Cup and many Silver Cup and Detroit Memorial races. Mr. Dossin presented the boat to the City of Detroit and gave a large donation to start a marine museum on Belle Isle known as the Dossin Great Lakes Museum. APBA members and officers extend deep sympathy to his family.

California Speedboat Assn.
At its 25th annual meeting the California Speedboat Association (Oakland) honored its 25-year members with a presentation of special pins. Those honored were Jerry Booth, present Rear-Commodore; Harry Boyd, former Commodore; Gordon Graham, Secretary for 12 years and lifetime member; Ivar Johnson, the youngest man to ever win the Dr. Barron trophy; Tom Caldwell, owner and driver of the famous Blue Blazes, holder of many world records; Lon Graditi, famous for his series of California Kids, including current 225 world record holder for kilos; R. Stanley Dollar, Jr., unlimited racer and Harmsworth Trophy winner; and Tom Hill, famous driver and owner of 135 record holder Lil Bee.
The meeting was attended by over 200 people and also honored club high point and special award trophy winners, the former commodores of the club, and local city and Bay Area officials. An award was given to former Mayor Rishell of the City of Oakland for his meritorious service in furthering our boat racing. The meeting was addressed by the President of the Port Commission, Peter Tripp.
New officers installed for the coming year are Allan Ford, Commodore; Robert A. D. Schwartz, Vice-Commodore; Gerald Booth, Rear-Commodore; Kay Hallet, Secretary; Lorita Sousa, Treasurer; Lloyd Burnett, Board Member-at-large; and Norman Morris, Club-house Manager.

Cascade Inboard Racing Assn.
As the second year of CIRA draws to an end, a glance at the year's activities are not too disheartening, and the future looks very bright indeed.
The first highlight on the 1962 calender was our first annual Commodore's Ball, Feb. 3. With a bus load of enthusiasts from Tacoma Inboard, and all the friends from the Portland area, we numbered 138. Following an evening of dancing and pit racing, personality trophies were presented by master of ceremonies, Mid Hedden. Jo McClure and Mildred Ashman set a delicious buffet table of spaghetti etc.
Feb. 16 opened the Portland Boat Trailer & Sport Show, CIRA again had 2,000 sq. ft., displaying two drag and two Ski boats and five hydroplanes, showing over 100,000 some of the area's fastest racing equipment.
May was undoubtedly the busiest month of the year. The second annual Dexter Regatta was held May 20 with a large field of boats in attendance. This regatta promises to be CIRA's finest. Ten days later the drag boys raced on the Willamette river in the Oaks Park Regatta.
Although this was the end of the racing in this area, our men did well in the races up north. Lon Skinner, besides taking a first in all races he entered, set a Ski competition record at Green Lake in July, and captured the Canadian Gold Cup at Hatzic, BC.
Merle Solland did well with his 150 and 225 and took a whirl at driving Jack Wong's record-holding 225, and the 7-litre Challenger.
Jerry Summers, finding there is a difference, between a Ski boat and a hydro, piloted Del McClure's 266 Suzy to win at Spanaway.
Lee Edwards, forsaking the 266 class, shows great promise as a 7-litre driver.
After many setbacks, but with dogged determination, several new drivers built up equipment and qualified during the year. Guy Stewart competed in his Ski Claim Jumper. Arne Olofson, in SK 33 Stinger, qualified in the Dexter Regatta.
George Byland, after many frustrations with the Falcon engine, qualified his 150 Brand X at Kelowna, B. C. And Carroll Holmes qualified his 145 Nancy Flipped on Spanaway Lake.
As for the year ahead, plans are already underway for our Commodore's Ball and the Boat Show. The Dexter Regatta should be better than ever. The Rose Regatta, a hydro race with Ski's and Cracker Boxes, is almost a sure thing for the Willamette River in July. A Shrine-sponsored race at North Fork Reservoir is developing. Four drag races are under consideration and a permanent drag strip is a strong possibility.
With these prospects in the offing for the coming year, if our manpower can hold out, 1963 will bring boat racing to more Oregon people than ever before.

St. Mary's Boat Club
Recently installed 1963 officers for St. Mary's Boat Club (Ohiq) are Robert Kruger, Commodore; Wilbur Leatherman, Vice-Commodore; Virginia Kuck, Secretary and Treasurer; and Dale Miller and Willis Henschen, Co-Fleet Captains. Our Board of Governors are Robert Kruger, Chairman; Wilbur Leatherman, Francene Aufderhaar, Willis Henschen, Frank Parks, Pete Lones and Calvin Kuck.
Two members in Region 6 have a 1962 racing record of which we can be proud. Tip Top Penny, a 145 hydro, owned by Wilbur Leatherman and driven by Carl Ward of Lima, Ohio, won six first places and one second place. Mr. Trophy, owned and driven by Carl Ward, a 280 hydro won five first places, one second and one third.
We recently have two new members in our club which will boost our racing boat members. Jan Schoonover scored six first, three second and one fourth place in Outboard Pleasure Craft racing, while Ben Gleason, who placed second in his first attempt at racing, looks like a future winner.
Our Commodore Robert Kruger, who has been our race chairman for many years, hopes that our friends will help us make our races a thrilling success.

RACE NEWS
The results of recent APBA sanctioned races are given below for general information. While we believe the facts are accurate, results are published without any responsibility for official standings of the drivers mentioned.

ORANGE BOWL REGATTA
George (Buddy) Byers, Jr. piloted his propriding 7-litre speedster to an unprecedented third International Grand Prix title to highlight the 16th annual Orange Bowl Regatta, Dec. 28- Jan. 2. The Columbus, Ohio, auto dealer had won the crown previously in 1957 and 1960. Gunning his "Chrysler Queen" full bore, the 32-year-old veteran driver ran and hid from his competition, the nearest being Miami's Lew Koehler followed by Fuzzy Furlong of Coral Gables.
"The regatta attracted the greatest assemblage of powerboats and drivers ever, with every race providing exciting action," asserted Dan McNamara, the event's director. "The weather was the best we have ever had." Representatives from 38 states and Canada were in the fleet of 250 entries. One hour of highlights of all the regatta's events was shown nation-wide via the ABC network. Byers covered the three laps of the 1.56-mile Orange Bowl course in a near-record 3 min., 45 and one-fifth sec. For his triumph he was presented the $7,500 Baker Palladium Trophy. 

Twenty-three records were set in the Six-Hour Outboard Pleasure Craft Endurance Race and 15 other marks fell in the Nine-Hour Endurance.

Charlie Dunn, 22-year-old Miami catamaran driver, gained an early lead in the final heat in his Mercury-powered Seacraft and fought off continuous bids to take the grueling Six-Hour event. Dunn averaged 46.7 mph, covering the 79 laps of the 3.5-mile course. His co-driver was Richie Bayas.

In the Nine-Hour, two happy but bone-weary Californians, Mike Wallace and Dick Freek of Anaheim, took top honors. For Wallace, a 21-year-old college student, it was a repeat. However the victory was not uneventful. Fire broke out during a refueling stop at the end of the sixth hour. The starter balked and Freek, a garage owner at home, jumped the solenoid to get the big, 406-cu. in. Interceptor engine going. Sparks started a gasoline blaze in the bilges. Firemen on the fueling barge speedily doused the flames but when Freek got the engine started again and the boat underway it was too late for him to go ashore. He had to ride on the fuel tank the last three hours. The Wallace-Freek combination piled up a record mileage total of 454.2 miles, averaging 49.8 mph for the long voyage, eclipsing Wallace's 1961 mark.

Art Kastner of Hermosa Beach, Calif., backed his way to the top of the 266 hydro event as the five over-anxious and heavy footed drivers in the final heat all were disqualified. He was declared the winner by lap time comparisons in the prelims. Kastner gained the Sid Street Memorial Trophy for his efforts and also was awarded the Bill Mansfield Trophy as high point man in the regatta.

George (Jug) Kelly, Chicago, national high point champion in the E racing runabouts, captured his specialty. 

In the final day's flying kilometer time trials, numerous APBA and Union of International Motorboating records were bettered.
(Pop) Wichers, 52-year-old 226 driver from Belle Chasse, La., hit 112.711 mph to join the exclusive 100 mph Club, which has eluded him many times. However he fell far short of the class mark.

MISSION BAY REGATTA
The San Diego, Calif., Chamber of Commerce couldn't have asked for a better advertisement for weather and water in the closing days of 1962 than at the Mission Bay Winter Regatta which saw two inboard hydroplane competition records set on December 30, 1962. Regatta sponsors were San Diego Inboard Racing Association and Southern California Speedboat Club.
The first heat of the day resulted in Mickey Remund, El Cajon, Calif., taking the 48 hydro lead from the starting can, never being headed and touring the three laps of the l-2/3-mile course at an average speed of 74.938 mph, upping the old record of 72.058 mph set by F. C. Moor at St. Petersburg, Fla., in Feb. 1962.
Second class up, the 150 hydros, while only five in number; included four of the fastest ISO's in the country, each of which has been timed through the kilo traps at better than 104 mph. Those on hand were Helluva, Red Reeder's Falcon-powered unit driven by Wayne Thompson whose kilo record of 108.329 mph was just recently approved, Randy Meyer in a Chevy II powered Avenger VI, Flamingo (Falcon engine) driven by Dick Woods and Trample, holding present competition record set on the same water in April 1962, driven by Kelly Schroeder. The latter two boats are owned by Rod Maurer of San Diego. Joey IV was driven by Fred Galente and powered by a new sleeved-down Buick. Galente was unable to get started for the heat and when the three laps were finished a new record of 77.653 mph had been set by Woods in the Flamingo.
While the wind and a slight chop came up late in the day, excellent water was available for most of the day, attested by the fact that LeRoy Penhall in Hot Cinders, Crackerbox competition record holder, came within .3 of a mile of equaling the existing record.
No flips during the day although Wayne Thompson hooked in on the next to last corner and got tossed out of his 150 hydro. Needless to say the water was cold and Wayne was glad to be fished out and hurried back to shore for dry clothes.
