COEUR d’ALENE – H1 Unlimited announced that the 2014 racing schedule will include a return to the Diamond Cup on Lake Coeur d’Alene this summer.

H1 Chairman Sam Cole said the organization is delighted to be returning to Coeur d’Alene, with its rich history in unlimited hydroplane racing. He said the 2013 race was very well received by the fans and the community.

“I am glad we were able to resolve the issues that were standing in the way of announcing the 2014 Diamond Cup and I speak for all our owners, race teams, officials and fans when I say we are looking forward to returning to beautiful Coeur d’Alene Labor Day weekend,” Cole said over the weekend.

“We are very excited to have the final contract in place for the classes that we will have in Coeur d’Alene in 2014,” said Doug Miller, of the Diamond Cup organization.

With everything finalized with H1 Unlimited, Miller added, “We can move forward with the planning of Diamond Cup weekend and we look forward to growing the event and becoming a regular stop on the H1 Unlimited tour.”
