July 24, 1966 ATOMIC CUP FOR UNLIMITED HYDROPLANES OFFICIAL PROGRAM - 48 pgs of program information with Black n White & Color Illustrations TRI-CITY WATER FOLLIES ( KENNEWICK, PASCO & RICHLAND WASHINGTON ) IN EXCELLENT CONDITION TO INCLUDE AN ORIGINAL AUTOGRAPH OF RACER BILL MUNCEY in the U-2 Miss U.S. hydroplane Bill Muncey posted 62 wins, more than any other competitor in the history of the sport, and won a record number of championships. In more than three decades of hydroplane racing, Muncey claimed eight Gold Cups, seven National Championships and four World Championships. His first win came in 1956 in Miss Thriftway, but his career really took off in 1960. During the next three years (1960-62), Muncey won 14 races, including six of seven in 1962. He won six of seven again in 1972, driving Atlas Van Lines V. And in 1978, at the age of 48, Muncey silenced those who considered him too old by winning five races in the legendary raceboat Pay 'N Pak. He won seven times in 1979, and picked up five wins in 1980. His last win came in 1981 at Evansville. Later that year, at the age of 52, Muncey had a serious crash for the third time in his career, but this one claimed his life. Characteristically, he was leading when the crash occurred. Bill Muncey was, without question, the greatest hydroplane racer in history. Bill Muncey was Inducted into the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2004. Other drivers in this program are: Mira Slovak, Jim McCormick, Fred Alter, Warner Gardner, Walter Kade, Bill Brow, Jim Ranger, Bob Fendler, Nrom Evans, Bob Miller, Red Loomis, Bill Sterret, Bill Cantrell, Bob Gilliam & Dave Allender OUR POLICIES: Packaging Bid with confidence. Your package will arrive packed for safe shipment. We highly recommend insurance and will not be responsible for damage to or loss of uninsured packages. If t is damage as a result of shipping, you will have to go your local USPS office to make a claim. This is an easy process as I have had to do this a time or two. Books will be shipped media mail unless requested otherwise. If a different method is requested, buyer will have to pay all shipping/handling costs for that requested method.

If a carrier is ticked off at his boss and treats packages like they are soccer balls and you do not insure it, we are not responsible.

Please make sure you provide an address that the post office can deliver too. We cannot be responsible for packages misplaced due to bad addresses, and buyer is responsible for additional shipping charges if item is returned to us.
