Why Sponsor ERCU?
Motorsports of any kind is incredibly difficult to do without the support of sponsors. Your partnership helps keep our 1/10 and 1/7 scale electric hydroplane racing series on the water for another season — powering everything from event operations to our Driver of the Year awards.
Our 2027 Championship Series runs 12 events along the I-5 corridor from Marysville to Longview, plus a stop in Ellensburg — Saturdays in public parks from late March through September, giving your brand consistent visibility across the region all racing season.
Thank you to our 2026 sponsors
