CHRYSLER JEEP DETROIT APBA GOLD CUP July 12-15, 2001 Sunday July 15 2001 *** HELLO SUBSCRIBERS I'd hoped to have a full Signal Flag Online edition for you tonight, for now the top story ... *** MIKE HANSON IN THE U-9 TUBBY'S SUBS WINS THE GOLD CUP ! Starting from lane 1, Mike Hanson went wire to wire to win the 2001 Chrysler Jeep Detroit APBA Gold Cup! Congratulations to Mike, the Jones family, and all their crew for a job well done. This one is in memory of Horace Carpenter, the U-9's Detroit sponsor for recent years (as Carpenter Communications). Second place to Znetix I (Greg Hopp), third to Oh Boy! Oberto / Miss Madison (Steve David), fourth to Shelby Enterprises / Miss Detroit Yacht Club (Mark Weber), fifth to Miss Budweiser (Dave Villwock), and the starting trailer Znetix II (Terry Troxell). Mike Hanson, the Jones team, and first-time-ever unlimited sponsor (the Detroit based Tubby's Subs) ... Wow!! *** MARK WEBER WINS THE J. LEE SCHOENITH AWARD ! The J. Lee Shoenith award goes to the driver with the fastest overall time, in honor of the old method of determining the Gold Cup winner. This is the second year in a row that it hasn't gone to the Gold Cup winner, last year's JLS winner was George Stratton, Mark's teammate. Congratulations to Mark Weber and the USA Racing team. *** STILL TO COME Please watch our NewsBits page for an index of continuing updates this week. We have lots of photos to post and are expecting a couple video clips too. http://www.reedonline.com/hydro/newsbits/newsbits.html Your next Signal Flag Online will arrive soon with results from all the classes.
