Now, Mercurys Coffee is taking their community commitment to new heights – over 200 mph to be exact – as they become the title sponsor of U-11 Unlimited Racing Group and their explosive Miss Mercurys Coffee Racing U-11 Hydro. The name pays tribute to the traditional use of "Miss" in hydroplane names and holds personal significance for Harris who grew up watching hydroplane races with his father.
"Our goal is to align with Mercurys Coffee's mission of embracing people, fostering relationships, and spreading love – one greeting, one connection, one relationship at a time," said Harris. "We want to energize the community and bring back excitement to this historic sport in a way that people can connect with it again."
The sponsorship will cover the entire 2024 H1 Unlimited Hydroplane Racing Season, including test runs and races across the country. The season, sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association (APBA), features some of the fastest and most spectacular racing boats in the world. Key stops include Guntersville Lake Hydrofest in Alabama, Madison Regatta in Indiana, Apollo Columbia Cup in Washington, Apollo Mechanical Cup on Lake Washington for Seafair Weekend in Seattle, and Bayfair in San Diego. Throughout the season, fans can expect to see a bold custom design on the team's Miss Mercurys Coffee Racing U-11 hydro and hauler, as well as exclusive hydroplane racing-inspired coffee blends and Mercurys Coffee Racing merchandise.
