WELCOME RACE FANS TO THE 2023 PRO NATIONALS IN DEPUE, ILLINOIS!

On behalf of the U.S. Title Series, I would like to welcome you all to the 2023 Pro National Championships.

The PRO Nationals is a race that we look forward to each year and this year — the 37th consecutive year that the Pro Nationals has been held at Depue — is no exception. Teams from as far away as Connecticut, Florida, California and Canada are excited to be making the trip to the Midwest for the opportunity to race for a National Championship. We are looking forward to an exciting and memorable event.

Once again, our schedule includes the K-Pro youth class and fan favorite antique service racing classes. Your favorite racers will be back in all the exciting hydroplane and runabout classes with displacements from 125cc all the way up to 1100cc.

We are also once again holding a “Driving School” with the opportunity for a limited number of fans to pilot a race boat. This program proved to be a success with our first Driving School events in 2019 and 2021.

New this year is something old. Race boats and engines of yesteryear will be on display and vintage exhibition laps will be run at intermission. Race fans will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite vintage race boat entries.

Racing in Depue is like a home coming for many USTS teams. As a place near and dear to so many of us, we believe it is important to give back to this community and will be awarding scholarship money to a deserving student from DePue.

Finally, I would like to thank the DePue Men’s Club and the Village of DePue for the opportunity for us all to come back to what many racers consider their Favorite Race Site. And I thank you, the Fans, because you are what makes it so special to us all.

Sincerely,

Pete Nydahl USTS President
