“For the entire 2015 season the biggest story around the H1 Unlimited series was who would sponsor the Miss Madison Hydroplane after the shocking news that Oberto would not return in 2016. Now the shocking news is Jimmy leaves the Miss Madison as driver”
Once again Miss Madison fans are left in a state of shock after news broke late yesterday that Jimmy Shane would not pilot the newly sponsored HomeStreet Bank former Oberto U1 Hydroplane in 2016. What makes the news even more shocking is that Jimmy had recently made a post on his Facebook profile just weeks ago asking if fans were ready for the upcoming season.
Post on Social Media would suggest that fans are not very happy about the news of Jimmy’s departure.
Larry Gene Mofield Will this effect the Madison sponsorship if Jimmy was use as a reason to sponsor them?
Noah J Hewitt Yep. Larry is gone too. I wish the Madison team would post an announcement. As a fan I would like to know what the heck is happening to my team.
Brent Thacker Did Larry leave the team as well? There are rumors flying around Madison to the fact
