The Detroit River Regatta Association (DRRA) was a prominent organization in Eastpointe, MI, responsible for organizing the annual Detroit Gold Cup boat races for 13 years. Unfortunately, due to a lack of necessary support and financial difficulties, the DRRA ceased operations in 2015, bringing an end to the long-standing tradition of hydroplane racing in Detroit.
Known for its thrilling races featuring unlimited hydroplanes reaching speeds over 200mph, the DRRA's Gold Cup event was a highlight of the summer. Alongside the exhilarating races, spectators could enjoy various activities such as air shows, hot rod displays, live music, and vintage raceboat exhibitions. Despite its closure, the DRRA's legacy as a key contributor to the motor sports industry and the Detroit community remains.
