Duke Moscrip & the U-37 crew

We were honored to have Duke Moscrip on our boat at the Torchlight Parade Saturday night. Duke is the man that saved Seafair this year with a very generous donation that insured the races would take place.

Make sure to stop into any one of the Duke’s Chowder House locations and say “Thanks, Duke!”

The U-37 Miss Peters & May will be one of several Unlimited and Unlimited Lights hydroplanes in the Alaska Airlines Seafair Torchlight Parade on July 31 in Seattle.

The Torchlight parade is an annual fixture of the Seafair celebration, and includes hundreds of entrants, from the Seattle Police Dept. motorcycle drill team to the Seafair Pirates.  This year is special, since most local hydroplane teams will be able to attend due to the free weekend between the Tri-Cities and Seattle races.

The parade begins at 7:30 pm and will go from the Seattle Center through downtown and end at the King Street Station (see map at left).  It will also be broadcast on KIRO-TV beginning at 7:30 pm.

MADISON, Ind. (June 28, 2010)—Several unlimited hydroplane drivers have agreed to trade in their driver’s suits and race helmets for a BoneYard Grill waiter’s uniform and service tray Thursday, July 1 to help raise money for the Lide White Memorial Boys & Girls Club in Madison, Ind.

The event schedule to begin at 6:00 pm at the BoneYard Grill, 513 Clifty Drive in Madison, Ind. will pit eight unlimited hydroplane drivers against each other to see who can raise the most tips throughout the evening. All tips will go directly to the Lide White Memorial Boys and Girls Club in Madison, Ind. The driver with the largest tip total will receive a trophy for the inaugural event the following night at Madison’s only sports themed restaurant.

Driver’s scheduled to appear include: U-3 Go3 Racing’s Jimmy King, U-5 Formulaboats.com’s Jeff Bernard, U-7 Graham Trucking’s J. Michael Kelly, U-13 Spirit of Detroit’s Cal Phipps, U-21 Albert Lee Appliances’ Brian Perkins, U-25 Superior Racing’s Jon Zimmerman, U-37 Miss Peters & May’s J.W.
