The Grand Prix of Watercross in Racine, WI kicked off with the big boats of the Runabout Open class and Dustin Farthing continued his dominance aboard his Monster Energy Mountain Motorsports Yamaha, notching his 7 consecutive moto win in a row. Behind him, Brian Baldwin, on his Champion Powersports Sea-Doo, built a considerable advantage over the number three boat of Erminio Iantosca. Iantosca overcame a slow start on his Riva Racing, Hydro-Turf Sea-Doo to finish solidly in third position. The Pro Ski GP class saw Monster Energy rider Chris MacClugage dart out to an early lead on his MACC Racing boat, but the GOAT relinquished the lead at about the halfway mark to the Rockstar Energy Bullet Racing rider Rob Flores. Mac Clugage was able to regain the lead a three laps later when Flores had a water line come loose and had to lift the cover on his boat for some on course repairs. Flores was able to continue but had to settle for a third place finish behind MacClugage and the Champion Powersports Weberpower.com rider Jim Cebulski. The freestyle division had a distinctly local field with all five pro riders hailing from the state of Illinois. Joe Eckert scratched his way to the win with a couple of nifty back flips on his Xscream Slippery Yamaha with Mike Hoffman finishing 2nd followed by Gary Burtka on his Freestyle Factory Twangled.com ride. Daniel Martin continued to shine in the amateur class and quite possible turned in the best ride of the day on his Xscream, Jet Pilot, Hydro-Turf Yamaha. In the hotly contested Pro-Am Runabout Stock class Chris MacClugage jumped out to an early lead and never looked back on his Monster Energy, MACC Racing Sea-Doo to take the Moto 1 win. Erminio Iantosca ran well on his Riva Racing Red Bull Sea-Doo to finish in second position and Eric Francis dialed up his Daves Auto Body Kawasaki for a third.

Gett ready it is on the way.

Patricia Mosselman is the only woman participating in Akropolis Jet Raid and actually she and her husband had been involved in Jet Raid racing since 2001, since the Raid was taken place in Africa. She is a great rider especially in rough water conditions. Both topped the F2 Class in 3rd place.

Frenchman Jean-Bruno Pastorello and his Team mate Belgium’s Sylvain Ente dominated in the Akropolis Jet Raid and until the final Moto showed their true professionalism by winning 1-2 in the Overall Standing as well as in F1 Class. However Greek Multi-National Champion, Akis Malouchos proved that he is not only the ace of close course racing but also that he can play key role Off-Shore Endurance racing by climbing in third position in F1 Class. He is the first Greek rider who ever tops the podium of Akropolis Jet Raid and the second that finishes in any Jet Raid International event.

Jean-Bruno Pastorello owner of Team Pastorello has done a great job on Saterday (Day 5)morning by winning ahead of his team mate Sylvain the Navigation Moto and got closer to overall win of Akropolis Jet Raid 2012. The Frenchman was behind his team mate for most of the time and then by using a little trick he got some extra speed and managed to finish first. Greek Rider Akis Malouchos finished third, which is a great result since it comes colder to clinching the 3rd place in the podium. The Day (and he race) will end with the afternoon’s 45min close course race. Stay tuned. Mosselman cuple was unlucky since they experienced a mechanical issue just before finishing the Navigation Moto.

The fact that Jean-Bruno Pastorello took the lead in the General Classification as well as in F1 Class it was predictable bearing in mid his unique skill and determination. On the other hand no one had predicted that two Greek riders would be in top five of the General Classification and three in top five of F1 Class. A unique achievement.
