June 28, 1984 (30 Years Ago)
A severe thunderstorm struck Bedford Saturday night. Some say, and it was reported on a Louisville television station that a small twister touched down here. Trees were uprooted and limbs taken off and scattered all around Bedford and surrounding districts. Little damage was done to buildings. However, there was extensive damage to the roof of Dow Dunlap’s home on Town Branch allowing interior damage from the subsequent rain.

1954 Gov’s Cup was Madison’s first all-Unlimited feature

By FRED FARLEY
Special to The Trimble Banner
Up until 1953, all of the Unlimited races run at Madison consisted of only one heat and were really just free-for-alls for classes 7-Litre and above. Never more than one or two Unlimiteds ever showed up. Nothing counted for American Power Boat Association National High Points.

New Oberto driver ready to represent Madison

By JIMMY SHANE
Oberto/Miss Madison Driver
I was born into (boat racing), basically. I started racing when I was eight years old in the J Stock hydro and J Stock runabout classes and slowly worked my way up through outboards to inboards and, for some reason I always wanted to go bigger and faster. So I found myself in the Unlimited class.
I got hooked up with a 5 Litre team—the Weber brothers. The Weber brothers had been associated with Unlimited hydroplanes for a long time. I was racing their 5 Litre hydroplane that they owned from 2005 to 2007.
