  • Contacts - contact owner David Coes if you have any questions or thoughts concerning the GNH class or David's race program. Problems with and/or suggestions for this web contents should be sent to Ray Downes.

  • Interested in racing a Grand National Hydroplane? Then check out David's article on Racing in the GNH Class, and be enlightened.

  • As mentioned in the Driver's Corner, David Coes is employed with the Norfolk Division of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The FBI originated from a force of Special Agents created in 1908 by Attorney General Charles Bonaparte during the Presidency of Theodore Roosevelt, and has the following core values: rigorous obedience to the Constitution of the United States; respect for the dignity of all those they protect; compassion; fairness; and uncompromising personal and institutional integrity.

    An important part of the FBI's activities are their Community Outreach programs. Since 1988, the Norfolk FBI Division has been involved in the Drug Demand Reduction Program (DDRP), a national program in which the Norfolk FBI works with the community to reduce the demand for illegal drugs in Hampton Roads. One major annual event, the Race Against Drugs, combines high-speed racing on Hampton Roads waterways with the drug free message. This national drug prevention program, sponsored by the FBI, the National Child Safety Council, and 21 of the nation's largest race organizations, allows sponsoring agencies, race promoters, and drivers to join the FBI in alerting children, teenagers, and their parents about the dangers of illegal drug use.
