Ride along with Dixon Smith in the vintage 1962-65 Miss Bardahl during the Vintage Unlimited Hydroplane "Final" Heat at the Columbia Cup. July 31, 2011 on the Columbia river in Pasco/Kennewick, WA.
Miss Wahoo, Oh Boy! Oberto, 1955 MIss Thriftway, 1962-65 Miss Bardahl, and Miss Burien put on a 3-lap exhibition on the 2.5 mile course. Bardahl crosses the line first with the help of a little Nitrous Oxide!
Top speed is 145-150 MPH and the 3,000 horsepower is provided by a 1650 cu in V-12 Rolls-Royce Merlin engine.
Enjoy in full HD!
(Note: The engine sound is horribly distorted due to the camera microphone and the camera's waterproof box.)
