The Gold Cup dates have been changed back to the original of July 9-11. This is the same weekend as Valleyfield, so any possibility of the ACHA GPs going to Detroit seems gone. Maybe the GP West boats will still go?
GP-88 will be at the Treasure Coast Regatta in Jensen Beach, Florida on April 24th and 25th. There will be a good number of GPs at this brand new race along with other hydroplane and flatbottom classes. This should be an excellent race in the Sunshine State and it will be broadcast live on Hydroplane Quebec.
The 2010 ACHA Grand Prix schedule is coming together nicely. Take a look at the schedule page to view all the details including a map. The Detroit and Morgan City dates remain tentative but all other dates should stay the same. Check back soon for further updates to the schedule, including a possible additional early season race.
Some highlights of last year’s Thunder on the Niagara.

GP-88 at Wildwood Hydrofest (via bobfina72)
A look back at some of the highlights of the 2009 season for the Rolling Thunder Racing Team.
GP-88 ran an exhibition at the Wildwood Hydrofest on Sunday. The boat looked great, but upon returning to the pits the crew found a broken rocker and metal shavings in the oil filter. There is not enough time to solve the engine problems before this weekend’s World Championships in Morgan City, La. Tom believes they have identified the cause of the recent mechanical failures and should have them solved for the beginning of the 2010 race season. Good luck to all at Worlds.
GP-88 will be testing this weekend at the Wildwoods Hydrofest. There will be a live webcast of the race on HRTV.
