In years past, the Unlimited Racing Commission used to produce a Media Guide each year that served as a reference for the sport’s records. The record book is back and even more information and statistics are now included
in this free edition.
The 2022 H1 racing season opens with the American Powerboat Association Gold Cup race on Guntersville Lake in Alabama the weekend of June 25-26. This marks the first time the Unlimiteds will compete for the coveted trophy in Guntersville.
HydroFest officials are now expecting eight H1 Unlimiteds to be in Guntersville racing for the Gold Cup, in addition to 10 GPA class hydroplanes and 10-12 Pro-Lite hydros.
The vintage U-36 Miss U.S. will also be running to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the world speed record of 1962. Tickets are on sale now at www.guntersvillelakehydrofest.com
