Oregon Emerald Cup

The history of the real Oregon Emerald Cup is a short one, as the race was only run one time -- in Dexter, Ore., just 20 miles east of Eugene. Billy Schumacher won the 1971 Oregon Emerald Cup driving the Pride of Pay 'n Pak.

Which boat was that, in terms of the 1/10-scale boats we race?

Ask Craig Mullen.

A more detailed history of the real Oregon Emerald Cup is available on the ERCU website: www.e-rcu.org.
