New Group To Stage ‘15 Hydro Races

H1 Unlimited announced Friday an agreement with a new organization, Coeur d’Alene Hydroplane Regatta LLC, to stage hydroplane races on Lake Coeur d’Alene Aug. 14-16. The name of the event will change to Coeur d’Alene Silver Cup Unlimited Hydroplane Race, replacing Diamond Cup. “We are very pleased to enter into this agreement with this new organization made up of very influential members of the Coeur d’Alene community who are passionate about returning our sport to their beautiful locale,” said Steve David, chairman of H1, the race sanctioning body/ David Cole , Coeur d’Alene Press.

Question: I give the new organization props for changing the name of the event from Diamond Cup to Silver Cup. The name Diamond Cup has too much baggage. Are you happy/unhappy to learn of another attempt to revive the hydroplane races on Lake Coeur d’Alene?
