| Seafair Trophy winner Billy Schumacher in the Pride of Pay 'N Pak |
Schumacher had crossed the finish line in the original championship heat seconds after Notre Dame disintegrated in the final lap of the three‐mile Lake Washington course.
Notre Dame driver, Billy Sterett, Jr., was listed in satisfactory condition with facial cuts after a Coast Guard helicopter plucked him, from the water.
Unlimited hydroplane rules specify that the final heat must be rerun if marred by an accident.
