It is with great sadness that we share the news of the passing of Chris Denslow. To say Chris was a friend is an understatement. Chris was extended family to the entire Culver Racing team. His sarcastic humor, amazing photos and willingness to help on boat nights will be missed beyond measure. RIP Chris
H1 is deeply saddened to share the passing of our longtime official photographer, Chris Denslow, who passed away on the evening of August 31 following complications from a short illness.
For more than 20 years, Chris quietly but passionately captured the very essence of our sport. Though never one to seek the spotlight, he was among those who truly made hydroplane racing possible. Through his lens, Chris documented not only the action on the water, but also the spirit, tradition, and community that define H1 racing. His photos have become part of our shared history and will continue to inspire future generations.
Growing up in Tri-Cities, Chris knew firsthand how central the Unlimiteds were to the life of the region. What began as a summertime tradition became his lifelong contribution, preserving the moments that bring this sport to life.
H1 has lost an irreplaceable member of its family, and our thoughts are with Chris’s family and friends during this difficult time. More details regarding services will be shared as they become available.
