Professional Racing Offshore (PRO) has postponed its plans to launch an offshore powerboat racing event in Lake Havasu City to 2026.

The group had hoped to bring offshore racing back to Havasu for the first time in 20 years, competing for American Power Boat Association (APBA) points, but decided to give teams more time to prepare by pushing the date back one year.

"We want to ensure enough time ," explains Ashley Landis of PRO. "As a new promoter in offshore, we decided that pivoting to 2026 was the right thing to do. It'll give the biggest bang for racers, spectators and sponsors, and it will give us more time to thoroughly plan a much larger event with the maximum boat count."

PRO has rescheduled the race for Spring of 2026. The race will combine offshore and F1 Powerboat and H1 Unlimited hydroplane racing, with spectators getting the opportunity to experience the thrill of high-speed racing up close, with VIP cabanas available along the pits and race course for an exclusive front-row experience. "The hard work and vision behind this race will truly shine through, and we can’t wait to showcase it," Landis said.
