First off, sorry for posting this in the news so late.

Brian Montgomery squeeked out a win in the close and controversial Final Heat to take the UHL Gold Cup. His brother Craig Montgomery wasn't as lucky as he blew over moments before the start of the Final. Fortunately for Craig, he already had the National High Points title secured before the final heat. Behind Brian, Scott Przybylski finished 2nd after coming back from a bad start to pass Courtney Johnston who was later penalized for a lane violation. So Chris Porten starting from trailer finished 3rd, with Craig Montgomery coming 4th and Courtney Johnston 5th. Bob Hubbard and Jeff Yeager did not finish.

Full results and standings are available in the Season Stats section.

The replay of the Live Broadcast of the entire race is available over at PSRTV.

Hey everyone, I released a mandatory update for tomorrow's league race.

The new update reverts the clock back to the old way of doing it. This was done because of several people having clock synch issues in online races. This clock only updates twice every second and I left the milliseconds on, so it doesnt quite look as good, but it should be more accurate.

I also included the boat Chris Porten wanted to run tomorrow.

If you have the auto updates turned off using the +noupdate command line parameter, make sure to run the updater from the website in the Game Info section.

Race Info:
Date: Saturday, June 21
Qualifying: 8:00 AM PST
Heat 1: 8:15 AM PST

Heat 3: 8:00 PM PST

If we run out of time for Heat 2 in the morning it will be finished at 8:00pm before Heat 3.

The Race is open to all, please refer to This Thread if you're interested.

Hey everyone,

First off the 5th race of the season has been rescheduled to Monday, May 26th at 6:00pm PST. I just got hired at a new store and they want me to work saturdays, so I'm unable to host the races then. The date and time has been updated on the schedule section of the website.

Secondly I released the 1.0.0.8 update which included a bunch of new boats and boat updates. Removed the man standing on the water in the pits and started to replace the pace car with a boat.

Last but not least the video of the Final Heat of Race 4, courtesy of Craig Montgomery.

Hey everyone,

New update, the main things in the update is the re-shaped vintage hull. The current paintjobs still need to be fixed to work properly. The new template will be up in the forum in a couple days.

The other update is I decided to add the 3 mile version of Mission Bay. Although, there never really was a 3 mile version of the course in real life. It should add a little variation to the races.

Sorry I was so late posting this up here. Here's video of the Final Heat. Big thanks to Craig and Steve Montgomery.

Hey everyone,

This update includes a few things, an update to the clock plugin dll to hopefully cure some crashing problems and the Horizon Air boat was added to the 2007 Hydroplanes.

The bigger update, the first release of the Vintage 1950-1970's Hydroplanes was released. I would like that everyone please posts their comments on the physics in the forum.

Scott Przybylski wins the final heat in the 3rd round of the 2008 Season. After having some scary moments in the preliminary heats, Scott managed to snag lane 1 and eventually the win. In 2nd was David Jaques (Season High Points leader), 3rd Craig Montgomery, 4th Greg Adams with an impressive finish from trailer, 5th Brian Montgomery, 6th Jean Philippe Poulin, and 7th Chris Denslow. Both Jean and Chris unfortunately got into a roostertail and went over.

Video of race hopefully coming soon.

In other news, there will be some vintage hydroplane action in the future!
