Today, you can read his award-winning coverage of the Columbia Cup before Monday's paper by going to HydroRacing.com.
Our partnership with KEPR-TV allows us to offer video highlights of race action. There also is video of a hydroplane trailer start, Mark Evans' first ride in an unlimited boat since 2003, and an interview with two-time Columbia Cup champion Steve David.
The Herald's award-winning photographers have created several galleries of qualifying, racing, action in the pits and candid shots of fans. Our HydroRacing.com staff also has developed more than 50 photographs of each H1 boat at the Columbia Cup.
The Web Lizards' live blog and live chat from their trailer in the Neil F. Lampson Pits provides up-to-the-minute coverage, tidbits, interaction with fans and snarky commentary.
