Hydro Group To Get Race Permit

The Idaho Department of Lands today plans to give Coeur d’Alene Silver Cup hydroplane race organizers an important permit for races on Lake Coeur d’Alene near Silver Beach in July. Jim Brady, lands and waterways resource supervisor for the department in Coeur d’Alene, said Monday the agency was drafting the permit and it should be completed and handed over today. Keith Allen, general manager of Silver Cup, said a permit from the state to use the lake the weekend of July 17-19 is critical to obtaining other permits for the races. This permit is good for three years. “It’s clearly the most important one,” Allen said Monday/ David Cole , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here .
