2011 Coeur d'Alene Hydromaniacs Diamond Cup
On the water, the vintage hydroplanes move forward fast, but their existence is steeped in the past. Inland Northwest residents caught a glimpse of history in Coeur d’Alene this weekend at Hydros, Hot Rods and Harleys, an event sponsored by the Diamond Cup Hydromaniacs featuring vintage piston-powered hydroplanes, vintage hot rods and custom cars, and a motorcycle show. It was held in conjunction with the annual Coeur d’Alene Wooden Boat Show. The vintage hydroplanes’ 2,000-horsepower engines roared to life before they idled out to the starting point off the boardwalk near Independence Point and took off, a deep, loud rumble reverberating through the air. Onlookers applauded as the boats raced around a three-mile course at speeds that reached about 135 miles per hour.
