Pacific Northwest Boat Racing Association (PNBRA) was created in January of 2023. PNBRA is the combination of the 3 former inboard clubs that were based in Washington; Seattle Drag and Ski (SD&S), Seattle Inboard Racing Association (SIRA), and Tacoma Inboard Racing Association (TIRA). Being around for decades, the 3 clubs all have a  rich history here in the Pacific Northwest. The 3 clubs have always worked closely together putting on their respective races. In November of 2022, the 3 Commodores; Brion Lenny Baker of SD&S, Matt Yarno of SIRA, and Kip Brown of TIRA decided to put in a vote in a general meeting to disband their clubs and combine to be one club. The vote was passed. The name was chosen to be broad enough to include three different categories of racing; Inboard, Vintage, and OPC.

This is the start of a new era for hydroplane racing in Washington State with tons of fun to come!!
