HMO: Return Hydros To City Docks

HMOffsuite (RE: Hydro races would help Coeur d'Alene): If the races had the support and cooperation of the City, they could be held with few problems and great benefit. Other venues like the Tri Cities and Seattle do well with them and have minimal problems. Beer gardens and better crowd control make things much different now than in the past. It could be a great event and considering the appeal of the lake, as well as the heritage of the races in Cda, would be something I would like to see the City entertain. I applaud the efforts of those that have attempted to bring the races back as they have had little cooperation or support on their behalf from the City. Tough challenge.

Question: Would you support the hydroplane races, if they returned to city docks in Coeur d'Alene?
