4 Boats and 5 drivers will be making rooster tails this weekend on the Columbia River near the blue bridge on Friday, May 29th. The testing will happen from 9:00 am to 5 pm.

According to H1 Unlimited web site:

Call it spring training, pre-season practice or a mini-camp, but whatever you call it, on Friday, May 29th, the Tri-City Water Follies will host more unlimited hydroplane teams than ever before will be assembled for pre-season test sessions on the Columbia River.
