Bayfair appeal decision delayed

The Oh Boy! Oberto/Miss Madison appeal over the final results from last week's Air National Guard H1 Unlimited Hydroplane Series race at San Diego will not be resolved for another 10 days, H1 Unlimited Chairman Sam Cole said Thursday. Oberto driver Steve David physically finished first at the Peters & May North American Championships on Mission Bay but a post-race inspection discovered that the Oh Boy! Oberto was guilty of a flagrant fuel violation. Officials then disqualified David and the win was awarded to Jimmy Shane in the U-5 Graham Trucking, which had physically finished second.
