| Pay 'n Pak, Miss Budweiser, and Lincoln Thrift, 1975 Champion Spark Plug Regatta. |
It was expected that the 1975 season would be a red-hot competition between the defending champion, Pay 'n Pak, with Jim McCormick taking over for the retired George Henley, and Miss Budweiser, Atlas Van Lines and Weisfield's. But Weisfield's, with Billy Schumacher at the helm, had it all her way. She won both her heats and the final round for a perfect score of 1,200 points. Her sleek hull and Rolls-Royce power won at a record time of 110.701 mph average around the 2½ course. Only one boat got within two mph of her hot pace in qualifying and competitive laps.
