G-1 |
Trudy |
Owned
and driven by Henry Slocum, of Freeport, N.Y. A dozen or so years old and
never very fast. |
 |
G-2 |
Miss
Windsor |
Owned
by Lorne Armstrong, of Windsor, Ont., Can. Built for the '46 race but yet
to be seen in major competition. |

G-3 |
My
Sweetie |
Owned
by Ed Gregory and Ed Schoenherr, both of Detroit. From the board and shop
of John Hacker and with Allison power, she can be a fine boat in
competition. |
 |
G-4 |
Miss
Great Lakes |
Owned
by Al Fallon, of Detroit and driven by Dan Foster. This Dan Arena creation
has proven herself fast but inconsistent. |

Miss
Cincinnati IV |
Owned
by Cam Fischer, of Cincinnati, Ohio. She seems too small to stand the
rough going in heavy traffic. |
 |
G-8 |
Miss
Canada III |
Owned
by E. A. Wilson, of Ingersoll, Ont., Can., and driven by his son Harold. A
beautiful, tremendously fast and fine turning job. Unfortunately her
enormous crew of gremlins always takes over and louses up her chances. |
 |
G-9 |
Dukie |
Owned
by Tom and Howard Hughes, of Detroit. A new one powered by one of Gar
Wood's old Miller engines. |

G-11 |
Mercury |
Owned
by Oliver Elam, Jr., of Ashland, Ky. Old-age and a small hull will
handicap her. |
 |
G-13 |
Tempo
VI |
Owned
and driven by Guy Lombardo, of Freeport, N.Y. Plenty of early season
racing and good driving make her the favorite to repeat her victories of
1939, 1941 and 1946. |

Grosse Pointe |
Owned
by Al D'Eath, of Detroit. |

by Rod Zamotin, of New York. A home-built rig that seems too radical. |

G-22 |
MISSterE |
Owned
by G. E. Warren, of Detroit. This strangely designed craft powered with a
pair of Gray Fireballs should be interesting even if she is never put in
the water. |
 |
G-25 |
[Skipalong] |
Owned
by Stanley Dollar, of San Francisco, Cal. |
 |
G-33 |
Betty
V |
Owned by Mel Crook,

somewhat blue. |

by Norman Hollenbach, of McHenry, Illinois. |
 |
G-45 |
Gray
Goose III |
Owned
by J. G. Townsend, of Port Arthur, Texas. Years ago, when owned by George
Cannon, she did some fast traveling under the impetus of three Lycoming
225 engines. |
 |
G-60 |
La-Ha-La |
Owned
by Harry Lynn, of Lake Hopatcong, N.J. A new Ventnor hull with Allison
power. |

![G-99 [Miss Pepsi (1)]](../images/miss_pepsi_(1)_thumb.jpg) |
G-99 |
[Miss
Pepsi] |
Owned
by Walter, Roy and Russell Dossin, of Detroit. This Allison-powered craft
is a product of Clell Perry. If she can approach the success of the Notre
Dame hull she resembles, this should be a tough one to beat. |

G-100 |
[name?] |
Owned
by Henry Slocum, of Freeport, N.Y. Henry's in again with another prospect
(see G-1). |
 |
2-G |
Hurricane
IV |
Owned
and driven by Morlan Visel, of Los Angeles, Cal. A featherweight Wickens
hull with an Allison engine. She should be the fastest of the crop. |
![Lion [Bar] Special](../images/lion_special_thumb.jpg) |
S-1 |
Lion
[Bar] Special |
Owned
by K. M. Brien, of Detroit. Another strange home-built craft. Although she
has never run in the Gold Cup she has been repowered with an Allison. |
 |
U-1 |
Such
Crust |
Owned
by Jack Schafer, of Detroit. One of the new Ventnors with an Allison. If,
as rumored, Dan Arena will do the steering this can be a potent threat. |

by Bart Boston, of Belleville, N.J. |

Astraea

by Cameron Peck, of Evanston, Ill A new Van Patten hull with Packard
power. If she's like Van Patten's Miss Canada III, she will be a
sweetheart. |
