Season Preview at HARM
There may still be snow in the mountain passes, but it’s not too soon to start talking about Hydro Racing. The H-1 Unlimited series gets off to an early start with its first race in Sacramento CA on June 1st. Before they head out of town, all of the big boat teams and drivers will be stopping at the Hydroplane Museum on Saturday May 11th at 4 pm for the first annual H-1 Season Kick Off Party.
This will be your opportunity to get the inside story on what promises to be the most exciting unlimited season in years. Find out what is going on with all-time winingest drive Dave Villwock. Will he or won’t he be driving in 2013? Who is most likely to dethrone him? Meet new rookie drivers for 2013. See brand new paint jobs. Hear about at least two new race sites and maybe another overseas race.
