Unlimited Hydro Racing Returns to San Diego |
|
 
The H1 Unlimited hydroplane series will return to San Diego in 2010 after a one year absence.
As Go3Racing.com first reported over a week ago, San Diego Bayfair officials and H1 Unlimited have agreed to resume racing the world's fastest boats on Mission Bay, September 17-19.
The Air National Guard will be the title sponsor of the race. The newest sponsor to join the sport is Degree Men, and they will be the presenting sponsor. The race will be known as the Air Guard Championship presented by Degree Men.
Former Boeing Airlines President and CEO, Scott Carson and his wife, will also be contributing financially to the event in honor of the American military. The Carson's have a son in law serving in Afghanistan.
Twelve teams will compete for the Air Guard Championship trophy on the super fast 2 1/2 mile Bill Muncey Memorial race course.
The GP West series will also join the Unlimiteds on Mission Bay, returning after their 2009 appearance at Bayfair. The automotive powered fleet has several former Unlimited driving greats racing in that highly competative series.
The Unlimiteds also make a return to the air waves of cable TV. The Air Guard Championship can be seen on the Versus network Saturday, October 16. The time has yet to be announced. Tampa Digital will have live streaming of the event as well.
The return of San Diego makes it the 5th stop on the H1 tour in 2010. A fleet of 10 will journey east immediately after the race, bound for Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to board a freighter for the 6th and final stop of the season at the UIM World Championship in Doha, Qatar (November 19-21). |

 H1 Chairman Sam Cole posted this announcement on H1's Facebook Page "Sorry, all no announcement today. Looks like Monday to get all i's dotted and t's crossed. Wanted to let everyone know early in the day. Will be exciting and lots of news, when it all comes together."
Go3racing.com first broke the story last Sunday and created interest on San Diego returning from several media outlets including Hydroinsider.com and the San Diego Tribune Newspaper. Go3racing.com also received scorn from H1 leadership and head of Public Relations Steve Montgomery referring to Go3racing.com as a "Fansites and bloggers have no obligation to be factual or accurate in their reporting. H1 does. If and when there is something announcable regarding San Diego, we will be all over it"

A New King in the Hydro Ranks |
|
  There's a new hydroplane driver in the King family.
Bobby King, teenage son of Go3 Racing Team driver Jimmy King, made his debut as a hydroplane driver this past weekend in Thunder on the Niagara at Tonawanda, NY. Bobby competed in his first race ever as a driver with his newly built 2.5 liter stock hydro, the S-242 Crush. This is a family project, with Jimmy, Bobby and Jeffrey, and friends bringing Crush to life.
As a new driver, he was placed on restriction for the race. In the consolation race, Bobby started on the outside in 11th place, 5 seconds behind the field. Charging to the front like his Dad, Bobby placed 4th in his first race. Not a bad start and finish in his first official race as a hydroplane driver!
Even Jimmy King got into the action at Thunder. He filled in Sunday driving for an injured Marty Wolfe in his old Grand Prix boat, the GP 93 Renegade. Wolfe had an accident in a Saturday heat race and asked Jimmy to take his former seat for the afternoon. It was short lived though. Jimmy finish 4th in his only race, but the boat sustained damage to both sponsons and was withdrawn for the day.
Congratulations Bobby from the Go3 Racing family!
