Fuller Jr. lists his top three destinations for powerboat racing in the U.S. and what makes them the most premiere locations for both spectating and racing.

"Traveling is one of my favorite parts of being a powerboat racer," says Hugh Fuller. "I've had incredible travel opportunities through racing and have discovered so many new places I would've never visited if it weren't for powerboat racing."

Englewood Beach, Florida

Aside from its well-known quiet and lovely beaches, Englewood Beach, Florida is home to many races including the OPA World Championship, which Hugh D. Fuller Jr. won in 2019 on team DF Young. Englewood Beach is a significant place for racing: the exhilarating races draw in large crowds of spectators and create a lively environment for race day. In addition to being an exciting spectator spot, Englewood Beach provides an indescribable racing atmosphere that makes offshore racing even more competitive.

Englewood Beach hosts Waterfest as a part of the championships, creating a family-friendly and interactive atmosphere. Englewood encapsulates the competitive nature of powerboat racing, all while providing fun events for everyone to enjoy.

"Englewood is a classic race spot that I always enjoy going to," says Hugh Fuller. "Englewood races provide an opportunity for families to come together and participate in a day full of activities, while also experiencing one of the most intense sports."

Sarasota, Florida

Sarasota is home to one of the most popular offshore powerboat races. Sarasota hosts several races every year that draws thousands of spectators and racers from all over the world, with the most popular race held around the Fourth of July. The annual Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix is one of the most famous events in the U.S. racing circuit. This race is not only exciting to watch, but it is also a great way to spend the day in the Florida weather.

Clearwater Beach is a destination that Hugh Fuller is quite familiar with: "Clearwater Beach is a beautiful and laid back place, perfect for powerboat racing. The water is always crystal clear and the atmosphere is unbeatable."

Daytona Beach, Florida

While races are no longer held here, Daytona Beach, Florida remains one of the most famous destinations for powerboat racing. It is famous for its vast beaches and the Daytona International Speedway, at which Hugh Fuller raced numerous times in the GTP and World Sportscar classes during his car racing career. To add to that reputation, it's also a popular vacation destination for those who are interested in all kinds of water sports, including powerboat racing.

Daytona was one of the most popular racing locations, but it could be rough in terms of the winds and water, making the competition more difficult and competitive than other destinations. While this was certainly a challenge for some, it encouraged people like Hugh D. Fuller Jr. to work harder, sharpen up his skills, and increase his competitive edge.

"Daytona has rough winds and waters and you need to be in really great shape to compete in a race here," says Hugh Fuller. "This just means working harder as a team, testing the waters, and getting in the best shape for the race. This was one of my favorite destinations to race at because it challenges me and inspires me to improve my racing."
