Join Seafair for a family-friendly event at the Downtown Bellevue Boys & Girls Club.
Hear from Gold Cup champions and veteran drivers J. Michael Kelly, Corey Peabody, and Kip Brown as they share their experiences competing at speeds approaching 200 miles per hour. You'll also meet some of the sport's next generation of talent, including Asher Kelly and Katie Brown.
This unique event celebrates the family traditions that have helped shape hydroplane racing for generations. Katie Brown is the daughter of Kip Brown, while Asher Kelly, son of J. Michael Kelly, and his cousin will also be on hand, showcasing how a passion for racing is passed from one generation to the next.
Get up close to two H1 hydroplanes and two J-Hydro boats, providing a rare chance to see both the sport's premier racing machines and the youth boats that help develop tomorrow's champions.
Then, test your skills on Brent Hall’s hydroplane simulator and experience the thrill of piloting one of the fastest boats in the world.
