* 1966 -- Everett veteran driver Bob Miller launched the Miss Tri-Cities unlimited hydroplane near the Kennewick-Pasco bridge but was unable to get it started to the distress of thousands of Tri-Citians who had lined the banks to get a glimpse of the huge hydro in trial-run action. Miller said the boat wouldn't start because the tanks had been filled with the wrong kind of fuel -- pure alcohol.
