Seattle, August 2, [1951] (AP) — The flame-red speed boat Such Crust set a new Gold Cup race qualifying record of 93.34 miles an hour on Lake Washington today.

The old standard of 92.402 was made in 1949 in Detroit by Wild Bill Cantrell in My Sweetie. Cantrell is here driving Horace Dodge’s Hornet.

Two other boats, the Hurricane IV of Los Angeles and the Quicksilver of Portland, Ore., qualified before Danny Foster brought up Such Crust, owned by Jack Schafer of Detroit.
