Jimmy King nips Nate Brown For 2nd Place in 1B
Three laps of deck to deck racing vying for 2nd place and more importantly 300 points towards the fina Go3 Grand View on the Lake driver Jimmy King
drove a magnificent race. Starting in lane 3 King used all 3000+ horsepower out of the V-12 Allison to come around on the outside and clip the U-17
at the line. Kings average speed was 147.514 That was a pretty good race, it was fun and exciting but our boat should be a lot faster than that.
That is what we do this for is to see the boat run and run well. We know how much the fans appreciate this boat and that is what we do it for" said
owner and crew chief Ed Cooper Jr.
Engine Problems Continue
The engine problems continue for the Go3 Racing Team and the Grandview on the Lake at the Columbia Cup in Pasco, Washington. One of the Allison V-12s
Owner and Crew Chief brought Ed Cooper brought west has already been lost for the weekend. This one barely lasted one lap around the 2.5 mile Columbia
River race course.

Grand View on the Lake Qualifies
Jimmy King needed just one lap to get his U-3 Grand View on the Lake qualified for the Lamb Weston Columbia Cup this weekend. Arriving later than
expected to the Tri Cities, Jimmy made his way into the pits and into the cockpit of his Go3 Racing prepared Big Red Turbinator and qualified.
The Go3 Racing Team is in the Neil Lampson pits in Pasco, Washington and ready to qualify for the 44th annual Columbia Cup. You can watch the crew

Monday 7pm
Preparation for the Lamb Weston Columbia Cup ( http://waterfollies.com/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 ) continues at the Go3 Racing Team shop
in Posey County. After suffering more engine problems at the Gold Cup in Detroit nearly 2 weeks ago, Ed Cooper and his team have been hard at work in
hopes of racing in the Tri Cities this weekend.
If you've ever been to the Madison Regatta, and walked up and down Vaughn Drive, you may have noticed a huge crowd of fans gathered. If you didn't
stop to look, you probably thought it was a driver of one of the Unlimited hydroplanes signing autographs. You would be wrong. "The Button Man" has
graced the streets along the riverfront passing out his hydroplane buttons.
