MIKE: Why is it that
everything important
2
00:00:47,447 --> 00:00:49,516
that happens to you
when you're a kid
3
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:51,184
happens during the summer?
4
00:00:51,217 --> 00:00:54,854
In the summer of 1971,
I was 10 years old
5
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:58,591
and the only thing I looked
forward to more than
the last day of school
6
00:00:58,625 --> 00:01:02,762
was the first day of practice
of hydroplane racing season.
7
00:01:02,796 --> 00:01:05,165
You could say Madison kids
were born into racing
8
00:01:05,198 --> 00:01:08,735
the same way some folks
are born in the oil business
or farming.
9
00:01:09,903 --> 00:01:12,472
The town's port
on the Ohio River
10
00:01:12,505 --> 00:01:15,542
at one point had been
the busiest in the Midwest,
11
00:01:15,575 --> 00:01:17,877
but that had started
to change.
12
00:01:19,446 --> 00:01:22,649
And though the river
had given the town
its prosperity,
13
00:01:22,682 --> 00:01:25,285
boat racing had given it
her identity,
14
00:01:25,318 --> 00:01:29,489
having hosted the first
professional boat race
in the United States.
15
00:01:29,522 --> 00:01:31,991
The town even owned
its own boat.
16
00:01:32,025 --> 00:01:35,328
They called it
the
Miss Madison.
17
00:01:35,361 --> 00:01:40,166
In June of 1961,
my father climbed in
that very same boat,
18
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,335
just two days
after I was born,
19
00:01:42,368 --> 00:01:44,404
and barely survived
a tragic accident,
20
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:46,439
which ended his racing career
21
00:01:46,473 --> 00:01:48,842
and took the life
of his best friend.
22
00:01:51,077 --> 00:01:55,248
People used to say I should
have known my father
before the accident,
23
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:57,217
that he was a different man.
24
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:59,419
Well, that summer,
10 years later,
25
00:01:59,452 --> 00:02:02,922
he would give us
a glimpse of just
what kind of man he was.

Walker and Helen
are movin' to Indianapolis.
174
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,916
He asked me to
take over as team manager.
175
00:09:43,950 --> 00:09:46,319
It was completely unexpected.
You said yes?
176
00:09:46,352 --> 00:09:48,321
I had to say yes.
How could you do that?
177
00:09:48,354 --> 00:09:49,855
How can you say
it's unexpected, Jim?
178
00:09:49,889 --> 00:09:51,657
Walker's been lookin'
for an excuse
to get out of here
179
00:09:51,691 --> 00:09:54,527
for the last five years
and you know it.
180
00:09:54,560 --> 00:09:56,829
If we had any sense at all,
Jim, we'd go, too.
No, no, no.
181
00:09:56,862 --> 00:09:58,331
Let's not get started
on this.
Why, Jim?
182
00:09:58,364 --> 00:09:59,799
We're getting in
deeper and deeper, you know?
183
00:09:59,832 --> 00:10:02,368
How many people leave here
before you see
the writing on the wall?
184
00:10:02,401 --> 00:10:05,204
And what wall is this?
A wall from our house?
185
00:10:05,237 --> 00:10:08,107
How many homes do we own
up in Indianapolis
or Cincinnati?
186
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:09,608
How many jobs
do we hold up there?
187
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:12,912
How many jobs
did Owen have before
he went to Chicago, Jim?
188
00:10:12,945 --> 00:10:14,814
Now, that's really
a fair comparison.

All right, Jimmy,
I wanna talk to you

that we've borrowed from
her raspberry-filling fund,
207
00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:17,176
she'll skin
both our heinies.
208
00:11:17,209 --> 00:11:18,477
I'll keep that in mind.

I'm George Wallin,

510
00:27:04,322 --> 00:27:07,792
Unfortunately,
Tri-Cities has had some
sponsors fall through
511
00:27:07,826 --> 00:27:09,894
and so they will be
unable
512
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:13,198
to host
the Gold Cup Championship
race, this year.
513
00:27:13,231 --> 00:27:15,734
And we've decided,
really, that the only
fair thing to do
514
00:27:15,767 --> 00:27:19,771
is to conduct a drawing
among the other five cities.
515
00:27:19,804 --> 00:27:22,340
And the city that is drawn
would have the right
516
00:27:22,374 --> 00:27:23,875
to host this year's Gold Cup,
517
00:27:23,908 --> 00:27:26,911
provided, of course,
that they can guarantee
the prize money,
518
00:27:26,945 --> 00:27:30,515
which is $50,000
to be deposited
by tomorrow at midnight.
519
00:27:30,548 --> 00:27:33,284
And so, the city
with the right to host
520
00:27:33,318 --> 00:27:37,222

Championship race is...

used to sit down there

comin' in

don't worry too much
about the race.

this nitrous system
ain't gonna work.

plumb wore out.

Half these parts
are shot.

Maybe we should
get some new ones.

in front of City Hall.

Well, thank you.

that we're in it.

Well, I'd like to think that
we'll have a say in that.

to simply
stay out of the way
