"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.

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.
