In 1971 Jim McCormick has left the dangers of hydroplane boat racing behind him in favor of a wife, a family and a job as the town’s air-conditioner repairman. But deep inside, the dream of piloting the community-owned Miss Madison to victory in the Gold Cup, the sport’s most celebrated race, lives on. Sadly, like the town of Madison itself, the Miss Madison is a shadow of her former self. Several years old and in constant disrepair, the boat has become the laughing stock of hydroplane racing.
Madison played at the 2001 Heartland Film Festival in the Opening Premiere.
