The (1st annual Diamond Cup Regatta) will be Aug. 20-22 with the cooperation of
the Hydroplane and Race Boat Museum in Kent, Washington. Four vintage
unlimited hydroplanes will be displayed around the community and at the
Museum of North Idaho. Tentatively scheduled to appear are the 1968 Miss
Budweiser, the 1967 Miss Budweiser, the "Green Dragon" Miss Bardahl and
the Miss Wahoo. Each of these boats competed in Diamond Cup racing
including racing under different owner/sponsor teams. These boats were
state of the art 40-50 years ago. They are powered by WWII fighter plane
V-12 engines and capable of running at speeds in the 190 mph range/The Guide to North Idaho. More here.
