In the running Heat 3A of the Budweiser Columbia Cup With Wings on the Columbia River at Tri-Cities, WA, Chip Hanauer driving Miss PICO rode up the roostertail of the Budweiser in Turn 3 and flipped over. Chip was taken to Kennewick General Hospital for examination after complaining of a sore shoulder. Xrays showed he had no broken bones. Hanauer was released.

After an amazing thrash by the PICO team, backup driver Mike Weber drove Miss PICO to a second place finish in the final heat.
