Havasu 300 and Mark Hahn Memorial 300
Endurance racing at Lake Havasu under a memorial title that the association prints as one name, first run in 2005 by the association's own count. Two IJSBA announcements are linked and no result sheet is held, so the record is a placeholder with its gaps stated.

Editions, as the documents give them
| Year | Name as printed | The document | Rests on | Sheet | Count |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2009 | none printed | The co-promoters' release of 20 March 2008, as captured on pwcoffshore.com in August 2008, which sets the fifth annual race for 28 February 2009 from Crazy Horse Campground in Lake Havasu City as an APBA National, sanctioned by the American Power Boat Association, on a 10 mile course. An announcement, not a result, and the promoters' own statement. Its team count for 2008 is not copied, because no sheet for that year is held; its full title carries the memorial name and is not copied, for the reason given on the 2024 row. | the press | none | not counted |
| 2017 | none printed | IJSBA's race rules page for the 13th running on Sunday 12 February 2017, as of 20 January 2017, from the main beach at Crazy Horse Campground, Lake Havasu City, as an IJSBA sanctioned event under the IJSBA Rule Book. Rules for the day, not a result. The 13th running in 2017 counts to a first in 2005, as the other documents on this record do. | the organiser's own page or post | none | not counted |
| 2024 | none printed | IJSBA's post of 11 February 2024, which titles the event the 20th Annual behind the sponsor names Yamaha & Anderson Powersports and calls it the IJSBA Team Endurance Nationals, 300 miles from Lake Havasu State Park; race 24 February 2024. An announcement, not a result. The sponsor-carrying title is not copied into sponsorNameAsPrinted because it carries the memorial name, which this record prints only in its title; the sponsor names are given in the document field instead. | the organiser's own page or post | none | not counted |
| 2026 | none printed | IJSBA's post of 18 February 2026, which titles the event the 22nd Annual behind the sponsor names Hot Products & Ford Bros. Racing, a 300 Mile Team Endurance Championships at Lake Havasu State Park, Windsor Launch, North Beach; race 28 February 2026. An announcement, not a result; the post dates the death the race commemorates to 2004. The sponsor-carrying title is not copied, for the reason given on the 2024 row. | the organiser's own page or post | none | not counted |
None of the 4 Havasu 300 and Mark Hahn Memorial 300 editions above has had its entries counted, which is why the Count column holds no numbers; the events index explains what a count waits on. This is not a calendar either: the dates of any future Havasu 300 and Mark Hahn Memorial 300 are the organiser's to publish.
- No result sheet is held; the two IJSBA posts are announcements.
- The association prints the two names as one title; the Havasu 300 before the memorial name is not dated by any document held.
- The two co-promoters the 2008 release names, Mike Follmer and the owner of DSM Events, are not in the organisations directory, so the organiser field is null.
- Corrected 2026-10-09: the record said the 2008 press release on the race's founding and promoters was neither cited nor located; it is held. The release of 20 March 2008, the promoters' own statement, announces the race's fifth annual running for 28 February 2009 under APBA sanction, a count that leads back to a first running in 2005 as the IJSBA posts do, and says the race is held in memory of the endurance racer its title names, who died during a race in 2004. It prints no founding year.
- Corrected 2026-09-30: the first version gave a founding in 2004, a Le Mans start and a venue of Lake Havasu, from notes not published here. The two IJSBA posts print a 20th Annual for 2024 and a 22nd Annual for 2026, which count to 2005, name Lake Havasu State Park, and print no Le Mans start; the founding year and venue now follow the posts and the start was dropped, since no IJSBA document then cited printed a start for this race, and the IJSBA books of 2002 to 2015 give a Le Mans start only as one option for endurance events in general (section 15 of the 2002 book; checked 2026-10-06).
- Corrected 2026-10-09: an IJSBA document held here does print a start for this race. Its rules page for 12 February 2017 has a team member hold each craft with the engine off while the riders line up abreast about fifty feet behind and run to their boats at the starter's gun and flag, which the same page calls the Le Mans start; stand-ups start separately two minutes later on the race director's flag. The page also says entry payments are charged to DSM Events LLC. The start is given for 2017 only, and the organiser field stays null because DSM Events is not in the organisations directory.
The event's title carries a person's name as its promoters print it; the person is not otherwise named here. IJSBA posts the race as its Team Endurance Nationals, which makes the association the sanctioning body; whether it or a promoter runs the race is not stated in either post, which is the reason the organiser is unknown on this record. In 2008 the race was announced by two co-promoters, one of them Mike Follmer, under APBA sanction, which shows the sanction has changed hands since. Listed so a reader finds the event and sees how little on it is established.
