SEATTLE (AP) — Like a lot of her friends, Bianca Bononcini made plans this weekend to attend Seafair.
But the recent Seattle Art Institute graduate didn’t spend any time socializing with them on the log boom Friday.
The News Tribune of Tacoma (http://bit.ly/qBcE1i ) reports that she was too busy trying to go 130 mph, attempting to qualify as the first female driver of an unlimited hydroplane since Brenda Jones piloted Miss KXLY in the mid 1970s.
Although qualification remains unfinished business, the daughter of former hydroplane racer Phil Bononcini relished the chance to return to Seafair as a driver.
