DSM Events is excited to announce the advent of a new era for the prestigious HOT PRODUCTS MARK HAHN HAVASU MEMORIAL 300 TEAM ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIPS on February 27, 2010. Ken Johnson, President of E-Time It and DSM Events Hot Products Mark Hahn Havasu Memorial 300 Race Director, Ross Wallach have extensively tested the transponder scoring system and feel confident in its ability to accurately score the race. Wallach said “I am happy to see we can give the racers what they have asked for at a reliable and affordable rate.” Each team will register with E-Score and rent a transponder ($30) for the race. All transponders will be placed inside the front compartment of the hull. Each team will be responsible for the safe return of the transponder (if damaged, destroyed or not returned the cost is $250. The transponder scoring system will be the primary system for the race. In the event of catastrophic failure of the system we will revert to a back-up manual system. Having done numerous off-road races Ken Johnson looks to herald a new age of scoring for PWC racing. Note: Please pre-register if you haven’t already as the addition of transponders makes it imperative we have an accurate entry list count with 2 weeks left until the event.

Bruno Casa reports as follows: “After realized poll among the pilots and keeping in mind the different aspects that imply the realization of the Jet Raid we have take the decision of carrying out the edition 2010 in Uruguay. This country is already expert since the event was done there in the 2006 in its first incursion in the American continent and it returns now more strong than before. It will have 30 percent river and 70 percent ocean beginning in the river Uruguay in the frontier with Argentina and arriving to the oceanic costs of the department of Rocha. It will be a mixture of technical stages and of resistance since the distances lengthened arriving to the 1200Km. of race. In this edition we work in the possibility of having pwc for rent that increase and reduce the foreign interest in the event. We don´t discard the option of being able to carry out an European stage of the Jet Raid but not yet they are confirmed the minimum conditions for the same one.”
