    Grew up in Seattle area and love to watch the races Thank you for posting this video
  • Grew up in the Renton Highlands and every summer when we weren't actually at the lake we could hear the thunderboats all week long during qualifying. Then early on race day we rode our bikes all the way to Seward Park to stake our claim on the beach. Fondest of memories. Thanks for this post.

    Grew up on Lake Washington just North of the Old floating Bridge ( I-90) . So fun to watch this every year. You could here the old piston engines for miles around the City of Seattle.
  • my father Norman Pletz was on the crew of MISS SEATTLE ---and I was with him in the pits, at the time, with my own Miss Seattle jacket.  I was 15 years old at the time.  I raced outboard hydros.  It was all family fun

    ? Does anyone remember the "La Canadian" hydro in this class at or around 1963 ? It was a smaller design and set a few records
