Welcome to episode sixty-five of Roostertail Talk.  In today's episode we listen to side 1 of the audio cassette tape "Pursuit of the Golden Chalice".  This was a great history piece for unlimited hydroplane racing produced in the mid 1980s and narrated by Mike Fitzsimmons.  Side 1 of the cassette tape takes us through the Gold Cup post WWII up until 1966.  Next week we will listen to side 2 together.  Don't forget to listen all the way through, as I will give you a hydro quiz based on the trivia on the tape.  Enjoy!

I think Mike Fritzsimmons was incorrect regarding the 1959 Gold Cup. The final was not run on Monday. It was completed on Sunday.
The 1960 Seafair race was run on Monday due to numerous accidents.
Thanks Rick Arena
