This is a Kawasaki JS650SX of 1988 and since it was bought it has never ridden on the water! Its owner is no other than the jet ski collector, Ty McFarland who actually rebuilds and keeps all his genuine or race skis in an immaculate condition. McFarland and Gary Hart of Jettrim are both responsible for the Old School Museum that will be presented in Havasu for second year in a row during the IJSBA World Finals.

Japanese Pro Runabout Champion who also managed to finish second in GP Runabout last year at the IJSBA World Finals plans to come back this year in Havsu with a new set up on his Ultra. Last year his Ultra was equipped with a Rotrex Supercharger with water cooled oil cooler. This year his team built a similar concept but they used an HKS Supercharger which is made in Japan, is much for efficient and more reliable according to Hajime Isahai. His race crafts features new black paint job with custom lime flame graphics.

We know already that the global market is full of these peculiar bracelets which promise to keep away the unwanted frequencies (mobile phones, electric appliances, etc) from the human body... Well, someone has applied the same principal to the engines. The Japanese company SEV is making those stripes that you stick them to particular places on the engine. According to Seiji (Jetter.p) who uses one on his Ultra 260X he mentioned “The motor was operating on the rev limit as soon as I put it on the engine.” We plan to find more about it in the near future.

RK16090-08-ERC EXHAUST REDUCTION COUPLER 2.5"-2.0"" High-temp silicone reduction coupler allows RIVA Free Flow Exhaust Kit RK16090-08 to be used with the stock water box in Ultra 300/260/250 models. It is already available from Riva or Hot Products USA."

Another speed up module in the market, this time from the Japanese company SE. Like the other ones we have already seen in the market it promises to unleash the true performance of the 300X power plant. Additionally, the particular one promises higher top speed up to +7mph over the stock 300X. Is this true or not? We wait until it will be confirmed on a test.

Air Time Products of UK have designed and manufactured its own version of twin-spar handlepole. The particular pole which is illustrated on a Rickter hull might share the same idea but it has its own spec. On the other hand someone may think why would you change it anyways? Well, it is a matter of design and possibly a difference in the overall cost...

Saturday 27 August, Cowes - Russell Marmon (Christchurch, Dorset) and Duncan Johnstone (Fareham, Hampshire) clinched the Elite 300 class and AM 200 class titles respectively at Egypt Point in Cowes this afternoon, Saturday, 27 August, during the penultimate round of the 2011 P1 AquaX Championship. In choppy conditions, albeit under reasonably pleasant skies for most of the day, Kawasaki 300 Ultra rider Marmon extended his unbeaten streak to eight race wins from eight for the season with a pair of unsurprisingly dominant performances. The opening half-hour race, Moto One, was curtailed around five minutes earlier than scheduled due to ever-roughening waters but Marmon’s skill, speed and endurance were clear to see as he rocketed away from pole position. In Moto Two, on calmer seas, the championship standard setter was again imperious. “Great, good fun enjoyed that”, said the Elite 300 Champion, “It was tough today, I couldn’t see where I was going…but you have to keep the nose down and read the conditions. I am a little tired because I had a baby three weeks ago so I haven’t been getting much sleep!” Second place in the headline class of AquaX went to fellow Kawasaki mount Richard Cable (Dridlington, Bradford) in both Isle of Wight outings while Ben Vine (Bicester, Oxon) rounded out the Elite 300 podium on each occasion. Yamaha FX160 rider Duncan Johnstone finished second in AM 200 in the opening race of the day, his first defeat of the campaign, but that was still enough to seal the title. Championship newcomer Andy Steel (Southampton, Hampshire) starred to claim victory on his AquaX debut on his similar Yamaha ski and, as a fellow member of the Solent Skiers Club, the win over Johnstone was particularly sweet. Steel said: “I came out to give Duncan a run for his money, we are best of friends and ski all the time in the Solent so we’re used to these conditions. We ski all through the winter, we do this every weekend. Unfortunately he beat me but I am extremely happy to come second overall.” In race two, Johnstone returned to winning ways with his seventh victory from eight starts while Steel finished second to cap a very strong weekend and Steve Robinson (Hedon, Humberside) took third to add to his earlier rostrum in the opening encounter. “I knew it was going to be close”, commented Johnstone, “I kept looking behind me but I wasn’t pulling away from Andy he was always just there. I do prefer it rough, but it really was quite rough today. It levels it all out and it comes down to stamina and riding style. It was gruelling out there, you just had to hold on and hope for the best.” Paul Attiwell (Abingdon, Oxford) raced his Kawasaki Ultra 250 to a pair of fine wins in the AM 300 class, his third and fourth on the bounce after an equally strong weekend in Plymouth last time out. Another AquaX newcomer, Polish national Lucas Kliatkowski (St Albans, Hertfordshire), gave chase well though and delivered a fantastic showing en route to a brace of second places. “I wanted to head out the front for the first few laps, which I did, the weather conditions were getting worse and changing all the time so it was hard to open up the ski and really go”, explained Attiwell, “I sustained loads of damage to the ski, smashed the hood, and the faring cover came off. You’re consistently reading the conditions out there – the weather played a big part in the results.” “I don’t think I shall be able to walk tomorrow, it is good there is a bank holiday so I can recover!”, added Kliatkowski, “At my local Herne Bay in Ramsgate I’m the local nutter who goes out when it’s really choppy, I think that has been good training for me!” Mat Shipley (Seaford, East Sussex) finished third in race one ahead of erstwhile points leader Dave Huddleston (Milton Keynes) and Stuart Steel (Paignton, Devon) while in race two, Steel made it onto the podium ahead of Shipley and Huddleston. In terms of the provisional AM 300 points standings, Attiwell has moved seven ahead of Huddleston with Shipley currently in third place. Albert Dock in Liverpool will host the final round of the 2011 P1 AquaX Championship just a fortnight from now, over the weekend 10/11 September, where the UK’s premier Jet-Ski racers will again provide top class sport alongside the competitors from the P1 SuperStock powerboat racing championship.
