For Defending National Champion Steve David in the 1 Oh Boy! Oberto and defending Columbia Cup Champion Jimmy Shane in the 5 Graham Trucking, the 2013 Lamb-Weston Columbia Cup was all about the “fight for lanes” before the start.

Neither was able to win from lane two when the two were in the same heat and when David got the inside for the final it was enough to make the difference and return the Oberto team to the top of the Tri-Cities podium. Shane stayed on David’s hip the entire five laps, but David built a two second lead by the end of the third lap and kept that advantage to the checkered flag.
One minute before the start, David was in lane three, outside Kip Brown in one in the 95 Spirit of Qatar and Shane in two. At the start, David had moved into lane one and explained, “We put in the acceleration package and it paid off. I was able to get the overlap on Kip and Jamie and take the lane.” More; H1 Unlimited Hydroplane Series » Steve David Wins 2013 Columbia Cup
