David Newton serves as the digital archivist and voice for the H1 Unlimited Hydroplane racing community through his show, Roostertail Talk. Based in Washington, he documents the technical evolution and competitive lore of boat racing through long-form interviews and historical retrospectives. Newton frequently partners with the Hydroplane & Raceboat Museum to showcase digitized archival footage, bringing a focus to the sport's heritage in the Pacific Northwest and beyond. He recently celebrated the first anniversary of his podcast by launching a hydroplane-themed trivia game show and conducting an in-depth interview with driver Jeff Bernard. Whether reporting on-site from the Seafair Regatta or providing a play-by-play breakdown of the 1982 Emerald Cup, Newton provides a specialized perspective that bridges the gap between legendary crew members and modern fans. His work includes the Miss Bardahl restoration coverage and regular technical segments that detail the mechanics of high-speed watercraft, solidifying his role as a trusted media representative at the Madison Regatta.
