World’s Fastest Boats Return to San Diego!

 

San Diego BayfairSan Diego Bayfair, the largest regional family festival and sports competition, is pleased to announce the return of H1 Unlimited Hydroplanes to the waters of Mission Bay and San Diego, September 16-18, 2011.

“We are honored and excited to have H1 Unlimited back on Mission Bay,” said Jeff Thomas, chairman of the San Diego Bayfair Board of Directors. “This year’s San Diego Bayfair is shaping up to be another great event.”

An early confirmation in 2011 ensures Festival fans can plan early, purchase their tickets and pay special attention to their favorite team and driver during the season, before the unlimiteds arrive in San Diego.

“The drivers and race teams always look forward to competing in San Diego,” said Sam Cole, H1 Unlimited Commissioner Sam Cole. “There is great tradition at Bayfair where championships are won or lost.”

Veteran driver Dave Villwock is seeking to break the late great Bill Muncey’s all-time career race wins while driver Steve David looks to defend his national points championship. But looking to overtake the veteran drivers are J Michael Kelly and Brian Perkins, the new breed of driver now seeking their own records. And with the addition of new teams, the field in San Diego will be the largest and fastest in H1 Unlimited history.

Bayfair has been an end of summer tradition in San Diego since 1964. The three-day event features overnight RV camping on Mission Bay, more than a dozen classes of professional boat racing, musical entertainment, festival vendors, kids’ zone and a specialty food village.  There’s something for everyone!

H1 Unlimited will have seven races in the United States and internationally in 2011 and features boats running at speeds of more than 200 mph.
