APBA Offshore Racing

09/04/2026

A NEW RACE. A NEW FORMAT. THE NEXT LEVEL OF OFFSHORE.

APBA is excited to officially sanction ROAR Offshore 2026, September 11–13 on Fort Myers Beach, Florida.

This standalone event puts one class in the spotlight:

APBA SUPER STOCK.

Three days.
Qualifying. Heat races.
And some of the most competitive side-by-side offshore racing on the water.

ROAR Offshore is independent of the APBA Offshore National Championship points series and UIM World Championship points competition, creating a unique standalone event for Super Stock teams and race fans.

Against the backdrop of Fort Myers Beach, ROAR is bringing together world-class racing, entertainment and a completely reimagined offshore experience.

Big shout out to my newest top fans! 💎

Teresa Bezely Higgs

Drop a comment to welcome them to our community,

🏁 This is what the motorsports community is all about.

Congratulations to JR’S Racing Media & Promotions on reaching 2,000+ followers!

We wanted to share this milestone for another reason, too.

JR’S Racing Media & Promotions follows APBA Offshore, regularly shares our content, and helps introduce offshore powerboat racing to fans who may have originally come for cars, drag racing or another form of motorsports.

That matters.

Racing doesn’t have to compete for fans. We can help create more racing fans together.

Every time a motorsports page shares another form of racing, a new person gets a chance to discover something they didn’t know existed.

Maybe a car racing fan discovers offshore powerboats.

Maybe an offshore fan discovers drag racing.

Maybe someone who has never attended a race sees a post, brings their family to an event and becomes a lifelong motorsports fan.

That’s how we grow.

So congratulations on 2,000+, and thank you for supporting APBA Offshore and helping us share this incredible sport with a bigger motorsports community.

We’ll keep sharing, supporting and growing together. 🏁🌊

We cracked the 2000+ followers on here! Go follow us on other platforms! We hope to continue to grow in the Motorsports and car show community and keep a positive outlook & effect on the community we love! We do this for fun! We have been to 5 states this year and already traveled over 5000 miles this year alone! We have covered publicity events, parades, racing / motorsports and car shows! "For everyone by racers!"

This post is brought to you by Convoy Tire and Services Inc. if you need tires or preventative maintenance they are your go to stop in NE Ohio! Also don't forget they are a falken racing tire dealer and do racer deals on all tires going on racecars and free installation all season long with proof of running the name as a sponsor on the racing vehicle!
