Madison Winner!


July 8, 1973. MADISON, Ind. (UPI) - Mickey Remund (bottom), shown piloting the unlimited Pay ‘N Pak hydroplane, passes the mark ahead of Dean Chenoweth (top) in Miss Budweiser in the final 15 mile heat of the Madison Regatta for unlimited Hydroplanes. Remund smashed a series of records in winning the 22nd annual Indiana Governor’s Cup race. Like their counterparts in auto racing, the wing shown on the winning boat apparently has added speed to these already fast boats. Remund, shown here skimming the water at over 150 miles per hour, won both heats and the final in record time.
