It was something like a phenomenon.
The Pasco traffic was slammed in all directions going over to the Blue Bridge. So we headed to the Cable Bridge and seen that traffic was slammed in all directions going over to Kennewick.
So we headed to the highway to wrap around to find are selfs going 15mph in a 70mph zone. It was inevitable but we were determined to get to Hot Mess Burgers & Fries and it was well worth it.
My son devoured the burger and deemed it the best.
We love to support are local TRI shops and recommend trying this joint out.

Hello every.
I want to share a little something from the heart.❤️
There are so many keys to making the Sport of Unlimited Hydroplanes a spectacle sport.
One Master Key is the FANS.
The turn out for the TriCity WaterFollies Spring Splash and the 2024 Unlimited Hydroplane Testing was amazing.
I don’t know the exact number of spectators that attend the testing but I do know that it was one of the highest in recent years on the Columbia River Front.
From what I hear and witnessed , there were fans watching from up high. From the construction crews working on Blue Bridge (some on man lifts) to the spectators watching up on Canal Drive in Kennewick to the fans turning in on the live stream all across the world.
The fans lined up and down all of of Columbia Park.
A huge applause goes out to YOU ALL.
Devided we are vulnerable but together we stand STRONG.
All of you are proving this as popularity is beginning to grow once again in the World Wide Sport of Unlimited Hydroplanes.
Thank you for all of your Support for the Hydro Town Virtual Museum. Words can’t describe my gratitude to you all. You give myself the drive to keep pushing for the Stars.
Stay tuned for more displays and new/old hydro items.

Still Clowning around.
Thanks to a gentleman named Guy out of Soap Lake Wa. , we now have his father’s Miss Circus Circus to display here at HTVM.
After over looking this hull, you can definitely tell he built it to be race worthy and with pride.
We are honored to have it here.
We also inquired a vinyl Miss Circus Circus Banner that once advertised in Las Vegas, Nevada during it racing sessions.

Dylan Runne takes over as the new driver of the U-1 Miss HomeStreet

Dylan Runne is no stranger to competition, from corporate boardrooms to professional boat racing. Today, he becomes the 24th driver in Miss Madison Incorporated’s storied 62-year history. Runne, twenty-eight of Rumson, New Jersey was selected to be the new driver of the U-1 Miss HomeStreet after an impressive tryout at the 2022 San Diego Bayfair.

Runne is a multi-time national champion across several American and Canadian categories and series. Dylan has reputation for consistent on course success, such as being the first driver in Hydroplane Racing League history to win three consecutive championships in three separate classes. Dylan is CEO of Fenom Digital, focused on supporting eCommerce Systems for large retail businesses.

“It is an honor, a privilege, and a dream come true to have the opportunity to race amongst the sports best, and represent HomeStreet Bank and the Miss Madison Racing Team,” said Runne. “I can’t thank Charlie Grooms, Mark Mason, Jimmy Shane, The City of Madison Indiana, and the entire Miss Madison HomeStreet Team enough for putting their trust in me to continue the winning legacy of this historic team.”

Charlie Grooms, Miss Madison Inc. Board President commented, “the Miss HomeStreet Racing team is proud to announce the selection of Dylan Runne to pilot the Miss HomeStreet Unlimited hydroplane. “HomeStreet Bank and Miss Madison Inc. have made significant commitments to our sport and this selection adds a young new talent to our ever-growing team. Dylan is an accomplished young driver and an astute young businessman, and we are more than excited to add those qualities to our team and our sport. We expect Dylan to continue the history of success Miss HomeStreet has earned, we sincerely thank Jimmy Shane and Andrew Tate for their roles in this selection and are ready to begin 2023”.

“We’re excited to welcome Dylan Runne as our Miss HomeStreet driver. Dylan is joining an elite group of unlimited hydroplane racers, who are undoubtedly the best competitors in the country for this sport,” said HomeStreet Bank President and CEO, Mark K. Mason. “We’re eager to see how he performs. He’s sure to put on a great show for all of the fans who love to watch these boats fly across the water,” Mason added. “All of us at HomeStreet continue to take pride in supporting our communities for events like Seafair and Bayfair, which have been long-standing traditions in the markets where we do business.”

We are super blessed to have received from Krista Reynolds and family gifts that she brought to the 2022 Columbia Cup.
Steve, Linda and Krista Reynolds had decided to donate to HTVM Steves personal Columbia Cup mug, Miss Circus Circus decals, Pay n Pak media guide and a few other items. But the one that got me was they had all decided to gift their grandfather Tige crew uniform. I was so touched.
The story that was told to me about how Tige always had a smoke in hand and how it was not common for him to have a burn mark, made it so much better. Now it is time to find a proper display case for it.
We here at HTVM are proud to have on display a wonderful Circus Collection.
Thank you, Reynolds Family.

Talk about arriving in style. When you're a Compton and a Grigg, that's how you roll, or I should say fly and they INVITED the mayor of HYDROTOWN (myself) to MAHOGANY & MERLOT event in Idaho. I also got to help out with the historical MY SWEETIE.
What a Spectacular Weekend.
