PRE-SEASON TEST

JUNE 2, 2023

On June 2, 2023, eight H1 Unlimited teams gathered on the banks of the Columbia River for a day long test session designed to gather valuable data ahead of the season-opener in Guntersville on June 24.

The eight teams attending were:

  • U-1 – Miss HomeStreet, Dylan Runne
  • U-8 – Beacon Electric, J. Michael Kelly
  • U-9 – Beacon Plumbing, Corey Peabody
  • U-11 – Legend Yacht Transport, Jamie Nilsen
  • U-21 – Lakeridge Paving, Gunnar O’Farrell
  • U-40 – Miss Beacon Plumbing, Dustin Echols
  • U-91 – Miss Goodman Real Estate, Andrew Tate
  • U-440 – Boitano Homes, Brent Hall

During the course of the day, a total of 109 laps were run by all teams and the session ended with less than 8 MPH covering the entire field, four teams clocking laps over 160 MPH and the top five boats separated by less than 4 MPH! This puts our 2023 field squarely at the top of the most competitive fields in the history of Unlimited Hydroplane racing, and guarantees a very exciting 2023 season to come!
