Man, what a bummer. And just as H1 was starting to gain some steam - a good boat count, National television coverage, and even starting to open up some new race sites. The loss of 3 boats will be tough to replace in this economy. El Crappo !!!! Bob

Makes you wonder because Ted is selling everything including the offshore

While we're on the subject of the real boats, does anyone know if they are still running the demo race in DC in 2012?

 

[Mike McKnight]

Don't know about DC but they ran the exhibition and if it is progressing like the NorCal stop it may happen. Last I checked the Folsom Lake race has been approved by the CA State Parks. There was some mention of it being a June race but it'll be a little while yet before H1 announces the schedule.
