Because of the nature of Lake Havasu City, with its proximity the aquatic playground that we all know and love, it’s easy to imagine that there are countless boating based businesses in and around the town. What’s always surprising is the number of performance-oriented businesses in the area that aren’t necessarily centered around the boating industry. Queen Racing is one such operation.
Most of us gather on the forums to check out fast boats, fun parties, and cool river pictures. When the weather cools and the boat goes in storage, however, it’s the desert toys that start to capture our attention, and Queen Racing is at the red-hot center of the off road performance world.
Queen Racing isn’t your average bolt on performance shop where you show up and they slap a turbo kit on your clapped out Rhino. No, Queen Racing is the go to shop for big-horsepower Jet Ski and Polaris RZR race engines. Want a 450hp sand drag RZR? Queen has you
covered.
Mark Queen, owner of Queen Racing, grew up in Chicago racing snowcross, motocross, and Jet Skis. After racing pro in all three disciplines, Mark decided to move out to Lake Havasu to pursue a career in Jet Ski racing. Just three months after his move, however, fate stepped in and threw Mark a curve. A racing injury sidelined the young racer and Mark had to sell his Skis to make ends meet. As is often the case, fate intervened once again and the very team that bought Mark’s race Skis offered him a job tuning for the team. As word got out that Mark was now building some of the best race Skis on the water, demand increased and Queen Racing was born. 22 Championships later, Queen racing is the premier builder of race Skis worldwide.
