2006 | Mark Weber

They say when you want something done, ask a busy person. That's Mark Weber.

Many times a champion, and a Hall of Champions inductee, he has always given back generously to the sport. Mark Weber has long been active in all facets, at all levels of the APBA. He is also an outstanding driver, owner and team owner.

Mark has been a member of the Marine Prop Riders since 1978, serving as club president, vice president and race director for three club regattas. In fact, he has directed over 25 Inboard regattas, among APBA’s best-run events.

When his teammate George Stratton died in a racing accident in 2000, Mark chaired a memorial auction to benefit the family. He has served as Chairman of Region 6 and led the Inboard Racing Commission. He won the Tony Scartine Award for his work with the IRC. Mark also chaired two National Meetings, and promoted Personal Watercraft Racing, both within APBA and U.I.M.; and Jet Boat Racing.

Inevitably, Mark stepped up to the APBA Council and Board of Directors. These days, as Director of Operations of the Detroit River Regatta Association and APBA Past President, he also serves on countless APBA committees. In short, Mark has done it all. Straight talk, positive thinking, decisive action and an endless passion for the sport of power boat racing–that's Mark Weber, and APBA is fortunate to have him on our team.
