Episode Synopsis

Send us a textWelcome to episode 90! Fifty-six years ago the inaugural unlimited hydroplane Atomic Cup was held in Tri-Cities, Wa.  With a week and a half to the 2022 Columbia Cup we look back to the first race held on the Columbia River through the voices of Jim Latimer and Mick Shutt.  Straight out of High School Jim and Mick worked as radio correspondents to the Wenatchee radio station KMEL in 66/67/68. Listen to their experiences of those first Atomic Cups (Columbia Cups) while we swap memories of favorite Columbia Cups of yesteryear. Enjoy!  *Photo used for thumbnail is of the "official barge" at the first Atomic Cup in 1966 from Jim LatimerSupport the showHelp the podcast by subscribing to our new service, Roostertail Talk+.
