San Diego Bayfair is a world series of powerboat races on Mission Bay.
It has a long and rich tradition in Mission
Bay Park. The first race was staged in 1964 thanks to the foresight of the
great Unlimited hydroplane racer Bill Muncey. Muncey was the driving force
behind Bayfair and getting the racecourse built to host the event.
The 2.5-mile racecourse, which was named after the late Bill Muncey, is the longest and fastest racecourse on the H1 Unlimited hydroplane circuit. Driver Dave Villwock set the World Lap Speed Record of 173.384 mph in 1999 at Bayfair. Villwock has won a record nine Bill Muncey Cups, including his first ever Unlimited hydroplane race victory on Mission Bay.
The photos of the
powerboats were taken from Mission Bay Campland which has a nice beachfront.
