The oldest trophy in American motorsports will be on the line this summer when the unlimited hydroplanes race on Lake Washington. The Gold Cup, the biggest trophy in boat racing, will return to Seattle for the first time in 38 years, Seafair announced Thursday. The winner of the HomeStreet Bank Cup at Seafair will also win the 113th running of the Gold Cup. Winning the Gold Cup in 1950 is the reason the unlimited hydroplane races started in Seattle in 1951. Back then, the winner of the Gold Cup got to host the race the next year.
