Detroit Memorial Regatta

Lake Sacajawea Park
Longview, Wash.
DATE: Saturday, June 4, 2022

This is a brand new race in 2021, which will be established in order to memorialize and celebrate ERCU members who have passed away over the years. The race format, and other details will soon be announced.

Many thanks to Brad Lewis and David Newton for not only dreaming to create such an auspicious event, but also for their work in putting it all together. It will most certainly be a very special event, so mark your calendars now, and plan to attend.

As a club, we'll be acknowledging three members from days gone by during an extended drivers' meeting, which is to start at 9:15 a.m.

There will be lots of additional action both on and off of the race course throughout the day. Stay tuned for more details.
