The Tri-City Water Follies Lamb Weston Columbia Cup is a hydroplane boat race in the H1 Unlimited season. The race is held each July on the Columbia River in Tri-Cities, Washington, USA. The race is the main attraction of the annual Water Follies festivities. Tri-Cities has hosted the Columbia cup consecutively since 1966.

History

The Columbia River towns of Kennewick, Pasco, and Richland first climbed on the Unlimited bandwagon in 1966 with the first annual Tri-Cities Atomic Cup. There had been talk of inviting the Unlimiteds there as early as 1958. But 1966 was when it finally happened. Bill Brow was the winner that first year, driving Bernie Little's Miss Budweiser.

Driver Dave Villwock and the MISS E-LAM PLUS team won the 2006 Columbia Cup under extraordinary circumstances. Their boat "blew over" during the running of preliminary Heat 2-A. They rebounded in time to win the next two heats and the overall championship.
