Hopefully inspiring new dreams each day — visit thestevehuffmemorialfoundation.org for more Info. Steve Huff Motorsports celebrates the life and legacy of Stephen Anthony “Steve” Huff (1966–2025), a trailblazing racer, builder, and innovator from Washington state. Over a professional motorsports career spanning more than 30 years, Steve set more than 20 national and world speed records on dirt, as

phalt, and sand. From land speed racing motorcycles to Top Fuel Harley-Davidson drag bikes, Steve pushed the limits of what was possible on two and four wheels. In 2020 he made history by piloting the “Current Technology” electric dragster to the first 200 mph quarter‑mile pass by an all‑electric car, later extending that record beyond 202 mph. He went on to add hydroplanes to his resume and fulfilled a dream in 2017, by winning an APBA National Hydroplane Championship with his “Faster Than Cancer” boat. In 2020, Steve was diagnosed with Stage 4 metastatic upper tract urothelial cancer, yet he continued racing, innovating, and inspiring others with courage and humor until his passing on May 21, 2025, at age 58. His work in the shop and at the tracks continues to influence racers, builders, and fans around the world. Today, all Steve Huff Motorsports intellectual property, digital assets, and licensing are managed by The Steve Huff Memorial Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2025, with a mission dedicated to ensuring "His Legacy Lives On" and inspiring youth to discover opportunity, purpose, and pride in the skilled trades. This page is preserved as an official historical archive of Steve Huff Motorsports; new stories, programs, and updates are shared primarily through The Steve Huff Memorial Foundation. From time to time, we will post select historical highlights here to keep Steve’s history intact and easy to find.

Foundation Announcement: A Major Milestone Achieved

We are thrilled to announce that The Steve Huff Memorial Foundation has achieved our primary goal for 2026 — regaining full control of all of Steve Huff's intellectual property and fulfilling one of Steve's final wishes to keep his name, intellectual property, and accomplishments under the care of his family and the Foundation that was created to ensure "His Legacy Lives On."

This victory came after nearly a year of certified letters, court filings, legal submissions, and direct correspondence with Facebook's Legal and Intellectual Property teams. We couldn't have achieved this without our legal team and each and every one of you who stood by us and encouraged us not to give up — thank you.

Now that all of Steve's digital assets, domains, and intellectual property are secured under the control of the Foundation, we begin the important work of cataloging everything and adding it to our official website so Steve's legacy is properly preserved for all to see.

Please note: This experience and the intellectual property fight we endured has made it clear that we must firmly protect Steve's legacy. Any future use of Steve Huff's name, image, logos, or other intellectual property without prior written authorization or a licensing agreement from The Steve Huff Memorial Foundation is strictly prohibited and will be addressed accordingly.

Our next mission: securing a permanent home for Steve's current technology dragster and memorabilia, so it can be shared with future generations who will be able to enjoy and learn Steve's story and be inspired to chase greatness and find their own superpower.

Stay tuned — the best is yet to come.

Beyond heart broken as we learn of a fellow teammates loss. When they made Wally Johnston they broke the mold.

2017 Steve met Wally in Montana to talk about buying his hydroplane and knew he had found a kindred spirit. Steve struck a deal that he would pay full price, if Wally signed on to teach Steve everything he knows about hydroplane racing. OHH what a ride! Bumper sticker on the trailer "I'm FASTER than you think you are".. One other caveat to the hydroplane sale is that we had to keep Red Vines in our pits at all times. "for the kids" notice who is eating them in the video.

Wally drove with no cell phone, he would just show up. His wife Michelle would call Jill asking when he left a race, so she could try to figure the approx. time when Wally might return home.

One of Steve's first heat wins with Wally on the radio, before the race was even over, Wally asked Steve what he wanted on his burger when he got back to the pits. It was Wally's way of letting Steve know he was doing just fine and to enjoy the ride.

Our first year racing the Agitator hydroplane, in Oak Harbor this young kid walked up to the team and said, hey that's my grandpa's scooter, I helped him rebuild it. We instantly threw a Huff shirt on Ty and made him part of the team. Getting to know the Johnston family over the years was just another part of the Huff Motorsports racing family we grew over 30 years of racing.

Hey Wally, take Steve out for a burger tonight. I'm sure you guys have some more stories to swap.

Blast from the past with the Destination Harley-Davidson of Silverdale Buell XBRR on display at the World of Speed.

This is the year that Steve got to meet every racer’s hero Mario Andretti.

Wishing our friends at Destination Harley the best as they close the Tacoma shop and shift to the Silverdale shop exclusively. Our team celebrates Ed Wallace’s contributions to our hydroplane, flat track, Superhooligan, and land apeed racing legacy.

Love it Brent Hall Racing!!

A great way to end a busy week! Hamlin Robinson School’s Scoop magazine, came out online and in the mail today. They wrote a story about me visiting with the kids, my brother and about the Oberto family who’s long history with Hydroplane Racing and previous owners of the land the school is built on were connected in the story. Attached is a picture and dropping a link to the full article in chat. I will be bringing the Hydroplane simulator for them at lunch in April. We are making new fans!!

“Striving Toward Your Dreams, One Lap at a Time
In February, as part of our enrichment programming, HRS hosted Brent Hall to speak with students about his highspeed life in hydroplane racing. Brent’s story is one that inspires and has the lesson to dream big and to not let adversity detract you from your goals.

Enriching our students through cultural, historic, civic, artistic, and scientific thinking experiences enhances our educational program. Bringing guests, such as Brent Hall to campus, is supported by the Joan Beauregard Endowment for Discovery and Enrichment.”

Steve had great conversations with Hiro and there was so much respect between these amazing racers from the opposite sides of the world.

That's the beauty of Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials. It brings together the best in engineering, design, and the guts it takes to trust a machine and take it passed the barriers of the mind and metal.

Steve said, "There are no grandstands. No sponsor hospitality booths. Everyone is battling against the salt and their own limitations, whether they are real or imagined."

Steve would often bring up his bungy jumping days when he spoke about competing for records. He wouldn't let anyone be pushed off, they had to jump on their own. It is a mental battle and he loved seeing that moment, in the people around him, when they stepped beyond their own mental barriers. He would get this twinkle in his eye and a bit of a grin and then he would step back and let you shine.

At the annual Bonneville Motorcycle Speed Trials AMA Land Speed Grand Championship, Hiro Koiso Racing returned to the Salt seeking more records and faster sp...
