Herb: Move Hydro Race Up A Week

On his Bay Views blog, Herb Huseland writes: "If I have one recommendation for next year (for Diamond Cup hydroplane races) it would be to schedule the race the week prior to Labor Day, as their were much more group activities in the private home area than was anticipated. Hopefully, everyone got to where they were going without too much stress. Also, our typical weather patterns have abrupt changes just before, just after or during the Labor Day weekend. This year, we missed a week filled with thunder storms and rain by one day. This year we needed all the time we could get. Next year it will luck not good planning. More here.

Question: Would you prefer to see the Diamond Cup hydroplane race moved up a week for the 2014 season? Or remain on the Labor Day Weekend?
