‘Really good’ chance for hydro races

Coeur d’Alene Silver Cup, Inc. is in a race to bring hydroplanes back to Lake Coeur d’Alene this summer. Race director Keith Allen said there’s a “really good” chance the races will return to Silver Beach on the east side of the lake July 15-17. Allen said obtaining the permits necessary to hold the event isn’t the biggest hurdle — the most difficult part is shedding the image the previous group, under the Diamond Cup name, left after unpaid debts piled up from the 2013 race. Races returned to Coeur d’Alene that year for the first time in decades, and haven’t been held since/ Brian Walker , Coeur d’Alene Press. More here.
