After nearly six decades of hosting hydroplane races, San Diego abruptly canceled its annual Mission Bay event due to a lack of funds and support.
It’s a loss for the H-1 circuit, but racing enthusiasts and experts assure us the exit is not a bad omen for Seattle’s beloved Seafair pastime.
“The race plays a very different role in Seattle than it does in San Diego,” said Williams. “It’s a much more integral part of the community here than it was in San Diego.” “Times change. Sponsorships change. People’s habits change, so the race in San Diego is having a tough time adjusting,” Williams said.
“We’ve talked to the people in San Diego, and they fully anticipate being back on board next year,” said Austin. “As far as we know, everything’s good.”
