Just another thought

It's worth noting, with the great memory from Ron Daum (below) that Ben Keller also sent in a great thought.

"It recently occurred to me that the highest-finishing Roger-built boat at the Columbia Cup was the Hawaii Kai III -- you guessed it -- in SECOND place."

If you weren't able to make it to the race, we included a Roger Newton Memorial Dash, which featured a field made up of all of the vintage boats that finished second in various heats throughout the day, and the winner was the boat that finished second in the dash.

The significance of second place? The last time Roger Newton raced at Tualatin was the 2007 Columbia Cup, where he finished second.
