Our Goal
Freedom One Racing travels the country, competing in shootouts and high-speed events, not just to push the limits of performance but to make a real impact. At every event, we research and partner with 2-3 local charities, providing an opportunity for individuals and businesses to “join our team.” Sponsors receive exclusive benefits, including:
Pit access
Invitations to private team events
Advertising on event signage and merchandise
The chance to meet the Freedom One team and be part of something bigger
By blending extreme performance with philanthropy, Freedom One Racing is proving that speed can drive change.
Our Purpose
America One was built for one reason—to be the fastest shootout-style race boat in the world. Designed to be shorter, lighter, and more powerful than traditional shootout boats, it was engineered for pure speed.
About Freedom One Racing
Our Mission
At Freedom One Racing, we are committed to leveraging the excitement of competitive racing to make a meaningful difference in the world. As a privately funded race team, our mission is to participate in boat racing events with the goal of raising funds for charitable organizations. We believe in the power of teamwork and community, using our passion for racing to unite supporters and sponsors in a shared vision of positive change. With each race, we aim to inspire generosity, promote awareness of vital causes, and demonstrate that together, we can navigate toward a brighter future for those in need.
Our Story
Freedom One Racing was born in the summer of 2022 with a simple phone call between two friends. Frustrated that the record holder for the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout was a Sheik who built a boat for a single race, set the record, and never returned, they knew something had to be done.
What started as a grassroots effort quickly gained momentum. A GoFundMe campaign raised over $5,000 within a week, simply by word of mouth. However, realizing the need for a more structured approach, the campaign was shut down, and all funds were returned. From that moment, Freedom One Racing took shape, built from the ground up through private funding, partnerships with industry leaders like Noonan, PSI, and Skater, and the relentless hard work of the Freedom One Team.
