This 1976 film “Championship Chase / A Ride on the Wild Side“ was produced by the Kudu Aeroseacraft Corporation, the American Powerboat Association, and Dick Wallen. It looks at three stages of the “Championship Chase,” a series of 10 open ocean point races for power boat racing. It covers races in Southern California, St. Petersburg, and Miami Beach in Florida. The footage is mostly close up of the boats racing and features famous powerboat racers such as Joel Halpern, Bob North, Larry Wood, Betty Wood (a female champion) and Rocky Aoki -- the Japanese-born American amateur wrestler and restaurateur who founded the popular Japanese cuisine restaurant chain Benihana. The boats, including Aoki’s Benihana #4, are always accompanied by helicopters, making for spectacular close up and wide picture shots. The Kudu Aeroseacraft Corporation was the parent company of KAAMA Racing, widely regarded as one of the most successful offshore powerboat racing teams in history.
