About Seafair Charitable Foundation

Since 1950, nothing has been more synonymous with summer in Seattle than Seafair. Before the Seahawks and Mariners called Seattle home, before the 1962 World’s Fair that gave us the iconic Space Needle, Seattle celebrated Seafair. Today, the 501(c)(3) non-profit organization has grown into a multi-week festival with events across the Puget Sound touching more than two million people. Times may have changed since its inception, but the core values of Seafair remain dedicated to being a community and volunteer - driven festival and a catalyst for creating experiences that celebrate the best parts of living in the Emerald City.

GP-20 The Truss Company Inc. of Pasco, Washington presents Blown Income Racing, owned by Larry Linn and driven by Ed Preston !!!

This is a fast Grand Prix Hydroplane that has had a lot of success in its history, including the 2018 APBA Grand Prix National High Point Championship. This Jones hull is the sister to Bryan Richard’s GP-17 Miss Renee and is one of the most popular Grand Prix’s in the series. Larry and his team made an appearance at the TriCity WaterFollies test session before the season began, but had engine issues which kept them from racing.

Grand Prix America is proud and excited to welcome GP-20 back to the circuit!

We want to thank the entire GP-20 Blown Income Racing team and their sponsor, The Truss Company, for their support in the Grand Prix America Series!🏁
