The Coeur d'Alene Diamond Cup Race Is This Weekend
When the H1 Unlimited hydroplane series returns to scenic Lake Coeur d'Alene this weekend, it will mark the return of the sport to the North Idaho area after an absence of 45 years.
When the World's Fastest Race Boats last appeared in Coeur d'Alene, the year was 1968 and the Diamond Cup was won by a young Seattle Driver named Billy Schumacher driving Miss Bardahl. Schumacher sat in an open cockpit behind a massive WWII piston aircraft engine and raced against drivers who make up the sport's Hall of Fame.

The racing will be live streamed here:

It looks like it will be $2 per day and be commercial free. Due to a possible upcoming TV deal, H1 can't livestream for free so they have made every attempt to keep the cost down.
