The U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto defended its title on Sunday afternoon at the 2009 Lamb Weston Columbia Cup in the Tri-Cities.<\/p>\n
Behind driver Steve David, the U-1 Oh Boy! Oberto delivered one of its finest weekends to date, fending off Kent\u2019s Jeff Bernard, driving the U-5 Formulaboats.com, and traditional power Dave Villwock of Auburn, behind the U-16 Ellstrom\u2019s Elam Plus, to capture his second straight Lam Weston Columbia Cub title.<\/p>\n
In addition to winning the title, David also secured a near flawless weekend, winning all four heats, the only setback coming from a lane infraction on Saturday. The Oh Boy! Oberto will head into the Chevrolet Cup at Seafair on Lake Washington this weekend among the favorites.<\/p>\n
David scored 1,450 points over the course of the event, well ahead of Villwock\u2019s 564.<\/p>\n
Last year, the Oh Boy! Oberto won its first national championship in its 48-year history. It was David\u2019s third. In addition David was the top qualifier at more than half of the races.<\/p>\n
Final order of finish: 1st-Steve David, Oh Boy! Oberto, 2nd-Jeff Bernard U-5 Formulaboats.com, 3rd JW Myers U-37 Hoss Mortgage Investors, 4th-Dave Villwock U-16 Ellstrom\u2019s Elam Plus, 5th-Kip Brown U-17 West Pasco Family Dental, 6th Brian Perkins U-48 Whirlpool Presents Miss Albert Lee.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
