SEATTLE, Wash. (July 8, 2010)— Red Dot Corporation announced today that it will return as the title sponsor for the U-17 Our Gang Racing unlimited hydroplane for races in Detroit, Tri-Cities, and Seattle.
The U-17 Miss Red Dot will compete for the ABPA Gold Cup in Detroit on July 9-10; the Columbia Cup in Tri-Cities, Wash., on July 23-25; and the Albert Lee Cup on August 6-8 in Seattle. The events are part of the H1 Unlimited Hydroplane series.

“What made this possible was the support from several of our key business partners. Spal USA, Fastenal, TCCI, Eaton Aero Quip, and OSI Consulting all stepped up to support the return of the Miss Red Dot,” said Gary Hansen, vice president at Red Dot, a Seattle-based manufacturer of climate control products for heavy-duty vehicles.
