Please note that any application for superlicence must be
lodged within 4 weeks prior to the first event a driver wants to participate
in.

For the opening round, the deadline date for submitting is
16^th February 2012, after that date it is not guaranteed the issue
on time for the first race.

Although mentioned already on the home page under "Insider News" I think it might be worth reminding all of you to take the time to vote in the annual SSC awards, not only to recognize "our"  Dave Villwock - and by association his team -  for his achievements, but to further increase visibility and awareness of our favorite sport.

I realize we've become a "stick and ball" kinda' town, but let's do all we can to support Dave and our sport. Let's tell the committee that Unlimited Hydroplanes are still an important part of this community and Dave represents it well.

I've caught the last two broadcasts (delayed and condensed) on Versus of the ANG H1 series. I have to say I think it's a pretty good start to bring the sport back into the public eye. I kind of like the up-close and personal approach, allowing the viewer to become acquainted with the drivers and the crews while condensing the heats into something that makes the sport more interesting to the casual viewer than it might otherwise be.
