Mercury Racing Announces Powerboat Superleague Sponsorship
Program Includes $5,000
Contingency Points Fund & Race Support
Fond du Lac, WI -- Mercury Racing is pleased to announce it is an anchor sponsor
of the 2000 Powerboat Superleague Series. The leading manufacturer of high
performance marine engines and accessories is contributing a $5,000 contingency
points fund to be dispersed at the end of the season to the top five
Superstock 1 (S1) series points leaders. The S1 points fund spread is as
follows: 1st
$2,000
2nd $1,500
3rd $700
4th $500
5th $300
In addition, Mercury Racing will support selected Powerboat Superleague races
on-site with a parts truck and factory reps.
Celebrating its 14th anniversary, the 10 race Powerboat Superleague
series,
featuring Mercury SST 120 race outboard powered S1 tunnel race boats, takes
motorsports to another extreme. Lightweight S1 tunnel raceboats reach speeds in
excess of 100 mph as they race across the water on a cushion of air. Racers
experience up to 5G?s centrifugal forces as they maneuver around multiple
hairpin turns on a challenging 1-mile course.
Mercury Marine has a rich history with the Powerboat Superleague, supporting S1
racers since the class was introduced to the racing community in 1991.
Mercury Racing is the only motor manufacturer to support the series at selected
events with an on-site factory support truck staffed with race support
personnel.
Mercury Racing support vehicles are stocked with powerheads, gearcases, parts
and accessories, propellers and all the tools needed to fix any mechanical
emergency a race team may encounter.
Mercury Racing is excited to be an anchor sponsor of the 2000 Powerboat
Superleague Series. Check out this exciting motorsports show in a city near you.
