TRI-CITIES, Wash. - Originally known as the "Dash for Cash," this year the first race of the Hydro weekend is known as "Meyers' Auto Tech Challenge."
Ken Muscatel in the U-2.25 Graham Trucking Boat won the Meyers' Auto Tech Challenge with Kevin Aylesworth in a close second.
Originally four boats were to participate in the race. The U-13 was set to participate, but couldn't get off the dock in time to make the race.
Muscatel and Aylesworth put on a show for the fans with a close two-boat race up until the end when Muscatel pulled away.
