Hopp runs the table at Graham Trucking Thunder Cup.   

 

 

Victory in the Final, two preliminary heat wins, plus #1 qualifier made for a huge weekend for the UL-15 Graham Trucking G.T. - Happy Go Lucky – Pump Tech of Moses Lake and driver Greg Hopp. 

 

Sealing a perfect weekend of 1,240 points, Hopp took the lead from Paul Becker in the UL-14 Miss Critical Logic exiting the first turn and was never headed.  Becker, with two second place finishes and a victory in 3 heats is now just 17 points behind second place Kayleigh Perkins in the UL-72 Miss Boat Electric, who now trails Hopp by over a thousand points.  Perkins had her most difficult weekend in her season and a half long Unlimited Lights’ career.  After sustaining engine failure a week ago at Polson MT the UL-72 team used their backup engine at Tri Cities, to disappointing results.  Ms. Perkins finished third in her preliminary heat on Saturday and on Sunday the backup engine failed and she found herself attaching a towline to the boat for her first time ever as the Miss Boat Electric went through a very rare Did Not Finish (DNF).

 

Last week’s first time winner J. Craig Fletcher mistimed the score-up by one second, sustaining a 1 minute penalty which took him out of contention. He ultimately finished 6th.  Terry Troxell, substituting for his son in law Kip Brown in the UL-8 Numerica Credit Union had problems at the start but recovered nicely for his first ever ULHRA podium finish; third place.  In his most recent appearance in an Unlimited Light hydroplane, prior to the formation of ULHRA, Inc. Troxell took second at Issaquah WA in the year 2000.

 

Fourth Place went to Michael Flaherty in the UL-11 Advanced Auto Glass-ROXY 94.5-Power Punch Oil Supplements in that teams first ever final heat appearance, following extensive repairs to the bottom of the hull that weren’t completed till 2:00am Sunday morning.  The UL-11 was the alternate in the Final but entered the course when the UL-39 Rouly Heat Exchangers-NAPA Auto Parts driven by Joe Souza experienced starter problems.  Fifth place went to Mike Sadlon out of Vero Beach FL in the UL-89 Lake Trash Apparel and Lake Trash.com

 

It was said from the outset that “The Gauntlet” as this 5 races in 5 weeks schedule has been referred, was a marathon not a sprint.  It’s proven to be exactly that.  In addition to mechanical failure with the UL-72 and UL-39 teams, the UL-929 Ice Harbor Brewing Co. driven by Vince “X-Man” Xaudaro lost its engine, as did the UL-40 King & Bunny’s Appliances driven for the first time since 2003 by Kelly Stocklin.  The “Bunny Boat” as the team has dubbed the 40 hull had a productive weekend, qualifying for the Final on the strength of two very competitive efforts by Stocklin which resulted in second and first place preliminary heat finishes.  Team majority owner and engine “guru” Chuck Dow said they will be ready for the Graham Trucking Cup at Seafair, August 1-3.

Changes for the Graham Trucking Cup at Seafair          

 

 

The UL-8 will have its third driver in 3 weeks for the Graham Trucking Cup at Seafair.  Ryan Mallow, the regular driver for the UL-19 Five Star Racing team and a crewmember of the U-37 Turbine team, will replace Terry Troxell this weekend at Seattle.  According to team owner Bob Baker, Troxell has “another assignment this weekend” making him unavailable to drive the UL-8.  Baker said he didn’’t know what Troxell’s assignment is, but he praised the U-37 team for making Ryan Mallow available. Mallow last raced at Port Angeles in September of 2007 in the UL-19.  For Mallow it should be a reasonably simple transition as both the 19 and 8 teams utilize supercharged power.  Mallow has 2 race victories in ULHRA competition and will be driving the UL-8 Numerica Credit Union, presented by Block Head Machine and Baker Equipment Company.  Last weekend at Tri Cities WA Troxell finished third while substituting for his son-in-law Kip Brown, who drove at Polson MT. two weeks ago and at Richland WA two months ago.  Brown is driving the U-17 turbine at Seattle.

 

There will be “Boots on the Ground” in the UL-39 pit area this weekend; Army boots that is.  The “Army Strong” UL-39 presented by NAPA Auto Parts will be driven by Army veteran Sgt. First Class Joe Souza of Lakewood WA.  The team is one of 14 to have qualified for the Graham Trucking Cup at Seafair through competition in 2008.  Last weekend team owners Bob & Barbara Scribner celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in their home town of Odessa TX.  This weekend their focus is Seattle where the UL-39 will try to reach the Final heat.  At Tri Cities Joe Souza qualified for the Final by finishing second in the B-Main only to have starter failure when attempting to get on the course for the Final.  That allowed alternate Michael Flaherty in the Advanced Auto Glass-ROXY Radio 94.5-Power Punch Oil Supplements to start in Souza’s place. Flaherty drove to a solid 4th place finish in the first Final heat appearance for the Darren Bartels owned UL-11.

 

One team reaches Seafair this year as another team has had to step away.  Oregonian Bob Smets had solidly qualified his UL-20 Smetco-Overtime for the Graham Trucking Cup at Seafair but in qualifying last weekend at Tri Cities his primary engine was seriously damaged.  The backup engine had been in the shop for repairs but when Smets learned this week it would be unlikely that he could have either engine ready to race, he promptly withdrew his entry.  That propelled the Al Carstensen driven MAACO of Bremerton-Gresham Well Drilling-Jesfield Construction into the 14th and final position in this weekend’s race.  There are only 14 positions available to ULHRA teams this year at Seattle due to limited space available in the Stan Sayers Pits.  Could it be history repeating itself?  Last year with co-owner Kerry Beynon as Crew Chief and Carstensen driving the UL-6 team was the first alternate for Seattle.  Things broke their way then, they were moved into the pits Saturday morning, and Carstensen went on to reach the Final as the “trailer boat” in a 9 team field, and promptly raced to a podium finish in third place. 

 

Testing and qualifying for the Graham Trucking Cup for Unlimited Lights at Seafair in Seattle will be on Friday, and again on Saturday morning.  Preliminary heats will be conducted on Saturday afternoon with Friday and Saturday coverage of ULHRA teams on the water available on this website through ULHRA Video with audio provided by KPTK AM 1090 Radio on the live web casts.  Sunday afternoon the B-Main and Final heats will be conducted with coverage from ULHRA Video and KIRO TV, Channel 7 in Seattle.

“Old age and treachery”………..and the Unlimited Lights           

 

 

It’s Seafair week in Seattle and that means the premiere event on the ULHRA calendar; the Graham Trucking Cup for Unlimited Lights.  It’s a big weekend for all the teams and for so many because they live and work in the vicinity of Seattle.  This is the race they grew up watching and now they get to compete.

 

For some in racing it’s all about the “Young Guns”.  In ULHRA there’s no age discrimination.  In fact, just like a fine wine, age can bring about a great result. 

 

Heading the list of the “senior circuit” in Unlimited Lights is of course, the patriarch of Hopp Racing, “Grandpa Jerry” Hopp.  Three years after twin knee replacement surgery, he has regained his zest for competing, not retirement.  Owning and driving the favored UL-15 is another incentive.  All in all, Jerry likes to compete and he remains very competitive in the Graham Trucking G.T. – Happy Go Lucky.  In fact he’s the second winningest active driver in the Unlimited Lights series with 7 trophies.  The only active driver ahead of him is the winningest driver of all in ULHRA, his son Greg Hopp with 19 trophies. 

 

Wil Muncey greatly resembles his famous father, not only facially but in mannerisms and even driving style.  He gets a lot out of a little, and this weekend he’ll again be behind the wheel of the “Little Boat that Could”. Muncey will tell you that it’s not the ideal ride for the Seattle course; that’s why they acquired their “Big Red Boat” which unfortunately won’t be running this weekend due to engine damage sustained at Montana.  But no matter the ride, Muncey will give it a competitive drive. He and the UL-00 Trafficade Safety Sales presents Warning Power.com have a tendency to run very competitively in even trying racing conditions.  Don’t be surprised to see this veteran race his way into the big 8 boat Final Heat for the Graham Trucking Cup.

 

Comeback?  Kelly Stocklin will tell you he’s never been away.  In fact, Stocklin has been part and parcel of ULHRA, Inc. since the organization was formed in 2001 and currently is a member of the Board of Directors.  But, competitively as a race driver he has been away.  As a longtime stockholder of Thunder Valley Racing, Stocklin was the driver of record as the team tried to sort out the UL-40 King & Bunny’s Appliances “back in the day”……..actually 2002 & 2003. In those days if it wasn’t for their bad luck the Thunder Valley guys would’ve had no luck at all.  To top it off, Stocklin was forced out of the cockpit by a construction accident shortly after Seafair in 2003. In stepped Harold Mills and while the change in late 2003 proved to bring no better luck, better things were on the way.  In 2004 and 2005 Mills and the Thunder Valley team stepped up the performance of the 1989 vintage hull.  In 2006 young Brian Perkins took over, and earned the team’s only victory at Issaquah in his first race.  In 2007 Cal Phipps from Detroit drove the 40 with Perkins subbing occasionally as he moved into a turbine seat.  This year Perkins returned but is now also racing a turbine so last week at Tri Cities Kelly Stocklin returned to what used to be referred to as the “Fabulous 40”.  Only this time, it’s a lot more “fabulous” than it was 5 years ago.  Stocklin showed that a 5 year layoff didn’t diminish his skills.  He deftly found his way around the course, and after qualifying at just over 106 mph, Stocklin drove into a seeded Final Heat berth with a second place and first place finish in the preliminary heats.  The heat win was Stocklin’s first ever in ULHRA competition.  Unfortunately engine difficulties stopped the King & Bunny’s just prior to the start of the Final, but majority owner and engine builder Chuck Dow said they’ll be ready for Seattle.  So is Stocklin.  After all these years he finally has an opportunity to show what he can do behind the wheel, after demonstrating all that he can do for ULHRA outside of the cockpit.  That may be one reason why you’ll see him smiling all through Seafair weekend.

 

How about Mike Sadlon?  In fact, how about the “No Excuses Racing Team” sponsored by Lake Trash Apparel and Laketrash.com?  The Vero Beach, Florida owner-driver, a veteran of offshore racing has developed a competitive Unlimited Lights team (UL-89) from a lot of sweat, guile, and determination.  Plenty of money?  Hardly, yet he and wife Paula are making it work.  They are traveling the ULHRA circuit together, and adding volunteer crew members at each race site. The team has accomplished a very difficult assignment.  They qualified as one of only 14 UL teams for Seafair based on their performance so far in 2008.  The UL-89 is one of the smaller hulls in the Unlimited Lights field yet Sadlon qualified at just a shade below 107 mph last weekend which was sixth fastest out of 16 teams. Sadlon won the B-Main to earn his place in the Final last week where he finished in 5th place and also vaulted his team to 5th place in the season points standings.  What could be better?  Well, ever the businessman, Sadlon says “how about buying a Lake Trash Apparel ULHRA T-Shirt this weekend, and log on to www.laketrash.com.” 

 

Yes, “Young Guns” in racing is a big deal and we have them in ULHRA, but as Waylon Jennings used to sing, “Old Age and Treachery always overcomes youth and skill”. With Jerry Hopp, Wil Muncey, Kelly Stocklin Mike Sadlon, and others, there’s a lot of skill to go along with their age.  That’s part of what we call Racing, ULHRA Style!

Hopp, Flaherty and Fletcher take Round 1 at Graham Trucking Thunder Cup

 

 With a fifteen boat field the Unlimited Lights were divided among 3 heats in the Saturday section.  Two of the heats were drammatic right to the end.

 

In Heat 1A, Jerry Hopp, Al Carstensen, and Wil Muncey crossed the line together with Kelly Stocklin just a roostertail length behind.  At the end of lap 1, Muncey, driving the Trafficade Safety Sales UL-00, known for years as the Little Boat That Could, held the lead.  Hopp was right behind with Stocklin close in 3rd.  Carstensen's boat expired in the first turn but he was able to restart before the heat finished and completed lap #1.  Because of time constraints he was given the black flag and credited with 4th place. 

 

Lap 2 found "Grandpa Jerry" in the UL-15 Graham Trucking G.T. - Happy Go Lucky - Pump Tech of Moses Lake take the lead and Stocklin moved into second as the two powerful supercharged boats overcame the lighter Muncey hydroplane.  Stocklin, driving the UL-40 King and Bunny's Appliances for the first time in 5 years started to reel in Hopp on the final lap.  Hopp said his son Greg, on the radio kept saying "he's gaining, he's gaining" and Stocklin kept gaining till the final turn.  The gap was just a few boat lengths in an exciting Heat 1A.  Actually it was the restart of 1A which had to be aborted just prior to the start when the UL-3 TheSuperZone.com-Wired EnergyDrink-T Machine driven by rookie Chris Grant went dead in the water and drifted into lane one right at the start finish line.

 

Heat 1B was a tale of two starts. Mike Sadlon, Michael Flaherty and Bryan Richards were in good shape while Joe Souza and Terry Troxell were well off the timing. 

Sadlon, from Vero Beach FL driving the Lake Trash.com UL-89 led Flaherty and Richards over the line.  Flaherty took command by the time they reached the backstretch and drove to victory in the UL-11 Advanced Auto Glass - ROXY Radio 94.5 - Power Punch Oil Supplements.  Sadlon took second while Richard's UL-4 Shoreline Sign and Awning did not finish.  Troxell, driving the UL-8 Numerica Credit Union in place of Kip Brown who's driving a turbine this weekend, failed to maintain his lane through the first turn.  The resulting 1 minute penalty dropped him to 4th place behind Joe Souza in the UL-39 Rouly Heat Exchangers presents NAPA Auto Parts. 

Joe Souza said afterward that his start was accidentally affected by Al Carstensen in the UL-6. When Carstensen left the pits for the first attempt at Heat 1A, his boat sprayed a strong roostertail over the UL-39 awaiting Heat 1B.  This knocked out his on board clock and radio connection was affected.  The team will have repairs made for tomorrow's second heat section.

 

In Heat 1C, Paul Becker in the UL-14 Miss Critical Logic had a slight lead at the start over J. Craig Fletcher in the UL-13 Celtic Racing, and Kayleigh Perkins in the Miss Boat Electric.  Ms Perkins ride suffered engine damage to their primary "bullet" last week and so far this weekend the UL-72 has appeared to be a bit down in horsepower.  Fletcher assumed second place on the inside lane out of turn one as Perkins dropped back slightly and Becker maintained first place.  Fletcher made a sizeable gain through turn one on lap two and made a strong run down the backstretch, catching Becker as they entered turn two.  By the end of the third and final lap, Becker stretched the lead to about a roostetail length, as the momenutum from last week's first career victory seems to be propelling the Celtic Racing team.

 

The heat draw for Heats 2A, 2B and 2C will be at the Sunday morning driver's meeting along with the setup for the B-Main and Final Heats.

 

Live coverage continues on Sundayhere on www.ulhra.org with audio provided by 610 Information Radio KONA on Sunday morning. KNDO/KNDU Television's live telecast of ULHRA Racing on Sunday will be streamed here.

Hopp sets new course record.

 
Greg Hopp and the UL-15 Graham Trucking-Happy Go Lucky-Pump Tech of Moses Lake set the tempo and became the story of day one at the Graham Trucking Thunder Cup at Tri Cities WA.
 
Hopp, driving the family owned hull built by Jamie Auld 11 years ago, and the winningest boat in Unlimited Light History, laid down one of the fastest laps ever, and a course & hull record.  The Auld boat which has 33 race wins curcled the 1 2/3's mile Columbia River course at 124.118 mph.  Greg Hopp will be trying for his 19th UL race victory this weekend which leads all drivers in career wins.  Three retired drivers hold the next 3 positions and 5th all time in UL wins is Greg's father Jerry Hopp with 7. 
 
Last weekend's career victory #1 for J.Craig Fletcher and the UL-13 Celtic Racing Team has built momentum.  The Celtic ranks second on the qualifying ladder with a career best 117 plus mph lap.  In third is Kayleigh Perkins in the UL-72 Miss Boat Electric, down to one engine this weekend after a parts failure occured in the team's #1 powerplant last week.  A 112 mph lap propelled Al Carstensen in the UL-6 Gresham Well Drilling-Jesfield Construction into 4th place in the team's 2008 debut.  Fifth place on the ladder is Vince "X-Man" Xaudaro in the UL-929 Ice Harbor Brewing Co. which may or may not be a hull record but it certainly is a hull record in ULHRA history. 
 
Xaudaro is followed by Mike Sadlon in the UL-89 Lake Trash.com at just under 107 mph followed closely by Kelly Stocklin in the UL-40 King & Bunny's Appliances and Jerry Hopp who qualified the UL-98 Miss Atomic Screen Printing at 105 plus while filling in for regular driver Charles Xaudaro who was working his day job today but will be racing this weekend.  Yes, ULHRA drivers and crews have real jobs outside of racing.  Chris Grant with the UL-3 TheSuperZone.com-Wired Energy 3000, T-Machine rounded out the qualifying ladder with a 67.341 mph effort.  This brand new team is ironing out the kinks of a boat that they finished this year, but was started by others in the mid 90's.  It's a work in progress.
 
Also among the 16 ULHRA teams is the G-17 Thunderboat from Shockwave Racing, the Schucks Auto Supply driven by Dustin Echols.  He drove a practice time Saturday morning of beter than 119 mph but in qualifying was about 3 mph slower.  While several teams experienced mechanical problems today, the one team that had to withdraw was the Smetco-Overtime of Oregon's Bob Smets.  The veteran Pacific NW racer's engine ran into an oiling problem and it appears consierable damage was done.  Smets has headed back to his Wilsonville shop but hopes to be ready for the Graham Trucking Cup at Seafair, next weekend.
 
At the end of the day, the Western States Insurance Unlimited Lights Challenge preseted by Woodshed Embroidery of Everett and Western Cascade Truck and Tank made for an exciting end of the day.  Greg Hopp edged Michael Flaherty in the Advanced Auto Glass Roxy Radio 94.5 Power Punch Oil Supplements by about 3 feet.  Bryan Reynolds in the UL-4 Shoreline Sign and Awning, making his 2008 ULHRA debut trailed closely in third showing markedly improved performance compared to the last time the team competed in a ULHRA events. Jerry Hopp was leading in the UL-98 Miss Atomic Screen Printing going into turn #2 but missed the entrance pin and ultimately drove through the roostertail of the UL-11.  Hopp finished 4th.
 
The rest of the Unlimited Lights teams in the Neil F. Lampson pits include...............
 
UL-00 Trafficade Safety Sales, driven by Wil Muncey
UL-  8  Numerica Credit Union, driven by Terry Troxell
UL-14 Miss Critical Logic, driven by Paul Becker.  This boat sustained some hull damage which the team was correcting well into the Kennewick night.
UL-39 Rouly Heat Exchangers presents NAPA Auto Parts
 
The unique Columbia River course has the Unlimited Lights sharing turn one with the turbine series but to make a surveyed 1 2.3's mile course, the start-finish line is the exit pin of turn two.  With that in mind ULHRA teams start each heat by rounding turn two of the 2.5 mile course and make a mile long run that crosses the starting line all the way to turn #1.
 
Saturday there will be a final test session from 10:00am - 11:00am Pacific Daylight Time, or earlier if the turbine teams conclude testing before 10:00am. Heats 1A, 1B and 1C will be conducted in the 2pm hour.  All ULHRA on-the-water activity will be shown live via ULRHA video on this web site pm Saturday with audio provided by 610 Information Radio KONA.  On Sunday, ULHRA Heats and Final will be streamed from the live telecast by KNDO-KNDU TV.  Check the home page for details.

UL-8's Kip Brown booted out...by father in law!

 

Booted from the ride of the UL-8 Numerica Credit Union, that is.  Well, actually, temporary replacement is more accurate; just not as much fun to read.

Kip Brown, nephew of turbine U-17 owner Nate Brown will be driving for his uncle at Tri Cities and Seattle over the next two weekends so his father in law will return to Racing, ULHRA Style.  His father in law is none other than Terry Troxell who won the Columbia Cup in the U-99 back in 2001 and has previously driven in the Unlimited Lights class with a career best 2nd place finish at Issaquah WA in 2000.  Troxell tested the boat earlier this season and impressed owners Bob & Kathleen Baker. 

 

Kip Brown is married to Terry Troxell’s daughter Tiffany.  He will return to the UL-8 cockpit for the final race of the 5 races in 5 weeks dubbed “The Gauntlet”, at Silverdale WA, August 8th & 9th and also for the season finale, Strait Thunder at Port Angeles WA, October 4th & 5th.

 

The UL-8 Numerica Credit Union currently ranks fourth in the Unlimited Lights season points race.

Points lead change at the top. (07-23-08)

 

Greg and Jerry Hopp and their UL-15 Graham Trucking G.T. – Happy Go Lucky, presented by Pump Tech of Moses Lake has moved into first place in the Unlimited Light Hydroplane 2008 points standings.  The Hopp team, by their 2nd place finish and 1100 point performance at Polson MT last weekend (July 19 & 20) moved ahead of defending series champion Kayleigh Perkins and the UL-72 Miss Boat Electric, who finished 4th at Montana.  The Hopp lead is slim, 81 points, and with 400 points for each heat victory is a very precarious lead.  The Boat Electric team ran into their first mechanical failure of the season which resulted in a 3rd place preliminary heat finish after winning their first heat, and 4th place in the Final. 

 

Paul Becker remains solidly in third place in the UL-14 Miss Critical Logic, 850 points behind Hopp.  These are the 3 teams that will contest for the championship through season’s end at Port Angeles WA, October 4th & 5th.

 

There’s another point race taking place and it concludes this weekend at the Graham Trucking Thunder Cup at Tri Cities WA. (July 25, 26 & 27).  It’s the race to qualify as one of 14 teams that will race next week (Aug, 1, 2 & 3) in the Graham Trucking Cup at Seafair in Seattle. Due to pit area limitations only 14 ULHRA teams are being accepted by Seafair and teams have been qualifying for the Graham Trucking Cup throughout the 2008 season.
