The tides are turning for hydroplane racing. In this revealing conversation with H1 Unlimited Chairman Mike Denslow, we explore how a passionate group of business leaders and lifelong fans is systematically rebuilding one of America's most unique motorsports.

Growing up in Pasco watching hydroplanes thunder across the Columbia River, Denslow shares how his childhood fascination evolved into a mission to save the sport he loves. The formation of HydroTown marked a turning point, bringing professional business acumen to address longstanding challenges.

Looking ahead to the 2025 season, we explore the excitement surrounding H1. For hydroplane racing fans old and new, this episode offers insight into how passion, business savvy, and community spirit are combining to propel this historic motorsport toward a brighter future.
