For decades, Bill Connolly has been entranced by the sheer velocity of the boats, the pulsating energy of the crowds, and the heart-stopping drama of the races, all of which started with a single televised race in the 1950s. His account of the iconic Gold Cup in Seattle will transport you right to the water's edge, feeling the spray of the water and hearing the thunderous roar of the engines.

Join us as we journey through the history of this adrenaline-soaked sport, touching on the legendary teams, drivers, and the unexpected connection between the world of hydroplane racing and Boeing. You'll also hear about Bill's personal experiences and his favorite race sites, with Seattle topping the list. Tune in for a fascinating journey across the waves and through time in the world of hydroplane racing.

Welcome to the seventy-fourth episode of "Roostertail Talk".  Without hydroplanes racing on Lake Washington for the Homestreet Cup (Seafair Regatta) and Blue Angles in the sky for the 2nd year in a row, Seattle seems a little quiet this summer.  For this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Eric Corning, President and CEO of Seafair.  We talked about how the pandemic has affected the Seafair organization, how they have survived closure, what the future holds for Seafair and to learn a little more of all the festivities that Seafair holds every summer in Seattle. Enjoy!
