Diamond Cup Deadline Approaches

The head of H1 Unlimited, the unlimited hydroplane racing league, says he has "some strong concerns that persist" about Coeur d'Alene's Diamond Cup races. In an email obtained Wednesday by The Press, H1 Unlimited Chairman Sam Cole said Diamond Cup organizers must come up with money and a signed race agreement -- soon. In that message, Cole said the deadline is midnight Saturday. At the top of H1's needs from Diamond Cup organizers: "Written agreement and payment schedule for the $71,000 balance of the insufficient funds check that was given to H1 at the conclusion of the 2013 event," Cole wrote/David Cole, Coeur d'Alene Press.
