The race's official overall order with boat numbers, laps, both riders, craft and times, as posted on the sanctioning body's site. High as the results document; the text extract shifts the second-rider and time columns, so a page reads only the place, boat, laps and first rider together. The held copy is an excerpt.
• APBA Mark Hahn 300 results 2006 (web.archive.org): Mark Hahn Memorial 300 PWC Endurance Race, Results (PDF on apbaracing.com, filed under 2006 results, Wayback capture of 29 April 2011), American Power Boat Association (apbaracing.com), 2006; sanctioning body, high. The sanctioning body's results for the 2006 running of the 300-mile team race at Lake Havasu: the overall top ten and the top finishers of each class, by boat number and team. The sheet prints no year; 2006 comes from the folder it was filed in and from the file name. High as the results document. The held copy is an excerpt.
• APBA Mark Hahn 300 page 2008 (web.archive.org): APBA Regional: Fourth Annual APBA National Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300 (apbaracing.com, releases of 8 November 2007 and 13 February 2008, Wayback capture of 8 September 2008), American Power Boat Association (apbaracing.com, carrying the promoters' releases), 2007-11-08; editorial, medium. The APBA racing site's page for the fourth race, 23 February 2008, with links to its 2008 overall and class results and two of the race's own releases. The release of 8 November 2007 names "co-promoters Jim Russell, DSM Events owner and Executive Producer, Mike Follmer"; whom "Executive Producer" describes cannot be read from the sentence, so no page uses that title. It gives the 70 teams of 2007, so it shows the 2007 race run. Medium: an event's own account carried by a body.

The race's own release, carried by the IJSBA, naming Jim Russell, DSM Events owner, and Mike Follmer as event co-promoters of the third race, 24 February 2007, APBA sanctioned, and giving the record set at the previous year's event and the 60 teams there, so it shows the 2006 race run.
