🏆 APBA GOLD CUP CHAMPION!

What a comeback story!

On Sunday, July 5, 2026, Jimmy Shane completed one of the most remarkable returns in hydroplane racing history, capturing the 2026 APBA Gold Cup in Madison, Indiana after stepping away from competition for four years.

Back behind the wheel of the Bruce Ratchford Apollo U-27, Shane proved he hadn't missed a beat, delivering a championship winning performance in one of the sport's most prestigious events. From a four year hiatus to standing atop the podium, it's a victory that will be remembered for years to come.

Congratulations to Jimmy Shane, the entire Bruce Ratchford BWR Apollo U-27 team.
