Seems like we're getting sentimental on the list (i.e. moon landings, etc.).
I remember the Gold Cup Hydroplane races (unlimited) on the Detroit River
and the sound of the Rolls Royce engines with monster roostertails. Very,
very cool. Miss Budweiser was/is the crowd favorite. The sad part was I
never took my OM camera to this annual event. It is not the same since they
introduced the turbine engines.
