Shane wins hydro race in Seattle

SEATTLE - With a little help from his friends, Jimmy Shane combined the inside advantage, great boat speed and an outstanding job of driving to hold off defending Seafair champion Steve David in the Oh Boy! Oberto and put the Graham Trucking boat in the winner's circle Sunday at the 2013 Albert Lee Appliance Cup on Lake Washington.

The help from friends came during the scoring up for the championship final heat when Graham had secured lane one and was joined in lane two by Kip Brown in the Spirit of Qatar and J. Michael Kelly in the 37 Miss Beacon Plumbing who took lane three, forcing David out to lane four.

Next stop on the H1 Unlimited Hydroplane tour will be Labor Day weekend in Coeur d'Alene.
