Annual Gold Cup now set for June after being reschduled by H1 Unlimited Hydroplane series officials. This year the Gold Cup kicks off the 2010 season for unlimited race teams.

The Gold Cup is the oldest active motorsport’s trophy in the world. The APBA Gold Cup is to power boat racing what the Super Bowl is to football, what the World Series is to baseball and what the Indianapolis 500 is to automobile racing.

Dave Villwock (Auburn, Wash.), piloting the U-16 Miss Elam Plus notched a perfect weekend by posting the top qualifying speed and winning every elimination heat.

J. Michael Kelly has been named to drive the U-7 Unlimited hydroplane for the 2009 season. Kely is a world-class driver with wins across the globe.

Race dates for the 31st annual Thunder on the Ohio will be August 21-23 on the Ohio River course.
