Just like Major League Baseball has Spring Training, our drivers and crews need a chance to tune up prior to the season. This takes the form of a pre-season test session where the majority of the teams will gather for a day to make sure all of the modifications, tuning and tweaks they worked on over the off-season will actually do what they intended.

This year, our test session will take place in Kennewick, WA – the site of the Columbia Cup – on Friday, June 2, 2023 beginning at 9:00AM. Admission to the park and shoreline is free, and you will be treated to multiple runs by all teams. In fact, during a test session, most teams run MORE laps than they would normally run during a race event, trying out different combinations of settings on their boats, as well as getting their drivers some long-awaited seat time in their 2023 rides!

If you can’t make it, the session will be live-streamed on YouTube, so it’s easy to get your pre-season fix of speed on the water! 

However, if you can take a day off work that Friday, bring a comfy chair, a cooler, the family and a camera and take in a full day of fast boats in a relaxed atmosphere along the banks of the Columbia River. See ya there!

If you can’t get the day off work to come out to the banks of the Columbia River to watch our test session in person, we will be live-streaming the event on YouTube from start to finish, so you can watch from anywhere, on any device:
