2013 HOT PRODUCTS MARK HAHN MEMORIAL HAVASU 300
9th
Annual Hot Products IJSBA Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300
Set for February 23, 2013 in Lake Havasu
2013 DATE ANNOUNCED FOR THE IJSBA NATIONAL TEAM ENDURANCE
CHAMPIONSHIP
FOUNTAIN VALLEY, CA – March 12, 2012: The date for The Ninth Annual
“World’s Longest Continuous PWC Race” was announced today by the
event promoter Jim Russell, DSM Events owner, and Executive producer
Mike Follmer. The 2013 Hot Products IJSBA Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu
300 mile National Team Endurance Race is all set to launch on
February 23, 2013 from Crazy Horse Campground in Lake Havasu City,
Arizona. The event will once again be sanctioned by the
International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA), and it is
expected to draw a record number teams from around the globe as well
as all of the top PWC racers from the US. The Teams will be
competing against each other while trying to break the 300 mile
record of 4 hours 17.35 minutes set by the 2012 Mark Hahn Memorial
Overall winners Jean Bruno Pastorello and Pierre Carlier of Team
Kawasaki.
The race is being held again in the memory of endurance racer Mark
Hahn who was instrumental in providing the momentum to keep
endurance racing going strong and growing across the country before
his untimely death during a PWC race in 2004. The “Team” format
features two riders for runabout (sit down) boat teams and up to
three riders for a stand-up craft. Solo riders are also welcome to
“Ironman” the race on either style of boat, a real test of endurance
and stamina reserved for only the true endurance zealots. The 2012
event was the fifth PWC event to use transponders in the United
States and has been well received and helped to increase the
professionalism of this national event. Transponders will be used in
the 2013 event as well.
“The race is returning to Crazy Horse Campground’s Main Beach site
for this very important event”, said Jim Russell, “and the 10 mile
course we have approval from the Coast Guard will pit all the teams
against the wind, rough water and long runs that this event has
become synonymous with.” In addition to all the weather and water
conditions all the teams have to contend with, they will also be
required to make fuel stops, without spilling fuel, and make rider
changes several times during the race, while modifying their race
strategies as the race progresses. There will be six different
classes competing on the race course simultaneously, with all the
racers competing for the overall title. At the conclusion of the
race, each class winning team will be crowned the IJSBA National
Team Endurance Champion for their respective class. A first-class
awards program that once again will be held at the Aquatic center
Rods and Recs room.
The awards banquet will feature a sit down dinner for over 300
people and over 75 award trophies to be presented to overall and
class winners with a host of special awards that will again surprise
their worthy recipients.”
Entry forms and entry information sheets will be released in late
Dec 2012 for the February 23rd 2013 event.
