Yamaha USA has released a limited edition T-Shirt at the World Finals in Lake Havasu City, in order to celebrate the brilliant success in the National Championship. In a few words the T-Shirt explains it all. The 2012 race season also saw Yamaha win three different National Titles in the Pro Runabout Open, Pro Runabout Limited and Pro Runabout Normally Aspirated classes. These titles stand out because they were won on three different models, showing the breadth of Yamaha’s performance products and the versatility of Yamaha’s 1.8L engine, the largest displacement in the industry. In addition, Yamaha riders won multiple titles in the Expert and Amateur race classes on the National Tour circuit. “We won a racing title on every product platform in our 2012 lineup,” said Yamaha’s Race Director and Product Manager Scott Watkins. “This shows Yamaha’s commitment to offering the best performing products both on and off the closed course. We congratulate all of the Yamaha racers who put so much time and effort into making 2012 such a successful season.” The T-Shirts were available at the Yamaha VIP tent.

According to the information we got from out friend James Masterton from Sydney Sea-Doo, the Australian company, Worx Racing has recently been purchased by long time Yamaha Australia factory mechanic named Gary Watson. Gary is the owner of Watson racing and is a good friend of James. Recently, James (pictured at the World Finals) was doing testing on some prototype intake grates and sponsons for the RXP-X.
