Weekend Poll: Hucks Nation believes, overwhelmingly, that the Diamond Cup hydroplane races will take place this Labor Day weekend, now that the Hagadone Corp. has thrown $100,000 into the mix -- and is backing them. 104 of 119 respondents (87.39%) said they believe the races will finally take place this summer, now that Duane Hagadone's company is on board. Only 7 of 119 (5.88%) are still skeptical. 8 (6.72%) were undecided.
