Buckle up as we take you back to the scorching summer of 1985 and the unforgettable Budweiser Columbia Cup. Relive the fierce rivalry between Jim Kropfeld's Miss Budweiser and the high-powered turbine boats of 7-11 and Miller American. Feel the heat of the Columbia River as we recount the action-packed heats narrated by the legendary Jim Hendrick, Pat O'Day, and Don Poier. After the radio broadcast you can relive interviews from hydroplane legends Bernie Little, Jim Kropfeld, and Steve Reynolds. If you are still hungry for more racing, listen to the radio broadcast of the 1985 APBA Gold Cup, which was held in Seattle, Wa one week after the Budweiser Columbia Cup in Episode 108.
