JACKSONVILLE, Fla., Oct. 20, 1974 (AP)—Dean Chenoweth brought the unlimited hydroplane season to a close today by piloting Miss Budweiser to a narrow victory over the Pride of Pay 'n Pak in the Admiral's Cup race.
Chenoweth, of Tallahassee, Fla., took two of the three heats at average speeds above 100 miles per hour. George Henley of Seattle, who had previously clinched the national title with Pay 'n Pak, took the final heat.

Top Hydros Ready for Final Duel
Special to The New York Times, Oct. 20, 1974
Pride of Pay 'N Pak and Miss Budweiser, the boats that have monopolized the winnings on the unlimited hydroplane circuit for the last two years, meet today in the final regatta of the season in Jacksonville, Fla.
George Henley has piloted Pay 'N Pak to a national high‐point total that Miss Budweiser cannot make up in this last race. Pay 'N Pak was the winner of the Gold Cup in Seattle two months ago. At the last meeting of the thunderboats, in Madison, Ind., last Sunday, they dueled to what has become their accustomed finish — Pay 'N Pak first, Miss Budweiser second.
Howie Benns, the 35‐year‐old rookie who piloted Miss Budweiser through most of this year, returned command of the boat to Dean Chenoweth after breaking both his legs in a motorbike accident in Phoenix last month. Chenoweth won the Gold Cup with Miss Budweiser last year.
