The action came thick and fast from today’s opening race of the AquaX Championship Finals in St Cloud Florida. Jason Russo took the top honors aboard his Sea-Doo RXPX in the 300 Class after Kawasaki racer Eric Francis was given a time penalty for a start infringement, and early pacesetter Derek Fucco suffered mechanical gremlins in the 15min plus 1 lap heat leaving him out of the points. Tim McKercher rode a great race in the 250 class holding off a strong challenge from Greg Broche and Ron Levy to take the win. But like Francis, McKercher was handed a post race 2min time penalty along with fellow racer #40 Mike Gast for a jumped start. In the 200 race Scott Reeves took his Yamaha VXR from third place all the way to first to take the win over Jason Maxson and Kelly Belval. Racing kicks off at 11.00am tomorrow morning with AquaX race one, followed by P1 Superstock and freestyle Jonny Leftly.

Dustin Motzouris will race again on his four-stroke Bullett Racing boat at King’s Cup next month. Although he experienced many issues with his engine he will fight to win on the same boat. Motzouris who is sponsored by Burn Industries he will most probably wearing again the same as the one he is pictured at the World Finals which is a 2014 model. However, there is slight possibility to have a different color variation.

Sydney Sea-Doo dealership owner and Pro Runabout racer, James Masterton competed last weekend at the 2013 Asian Aquabike Grand Prix on October 26-27 in China. The invite only event featured two, 20minute motos for an overall title. In a bold move to display both reliability and solid overall performance, Masterton chose to use his Sydney Sea-Doo Performance RXP300 Kit on a brand new RXP260 supplied by Smooth Marine of Hong Kong. This exact kit is the same package retailed to his customers from the Sydney Sea-Doo dealership in Australia with performance unmatched for the $4,990 price tag. In a solid field of genuine Pro Open skis, Masterton started moto one from position six. After battling with riders for almost 10 minutes, Masterton moved into second, finishing 0.8 seconds behind the Chinese winner. Moto two saw James start from position two and on lap six made a pass for the lead. Whilst running into lapped traffic, Masterton was re-passed finishing second at the checkered flag. “I chose to race with our 300 kit this weekend to prove to people that using the correct combination of parts and more importantly the correct people installing these parts will bring results both on the track and provide trouble free recreation use.” To contact James for information on the RXP/RXT 300 kit visit www.sydneyseadoo.com.
