An emotional J. Michael Kelly won the 2014 Bill Muncey Cup at San Diego Bayfair hydroplane races on Sept. 14, capping the three-day event’s 50th-anniversary celebration after leader Jimmy Shane was ruled to have veered into Kelly’s lane in the race’s final stages. The 2 1/2-mile course on Mission Bay was also the site of more than one thrill and spill this year – the above image shows officials preparing to inspect a craft that had flipped multiple times.
