The well known racer from Thailand Chokuthit Molee managed to win the overall title in GP Runabout class after a frustrating second moto where many riders faced mechanical issues and did not made it to the finish line. Molee although he was cruising due to mechanical problems he managed to complete the required laps and he clinched the world title with second place finisher the winner of the second moto Norito Nakano.

Two times IJSBA world champion Craig Warner showed to the Havasu spectators why his race craft carries the number one plate. He took the hole shot in Pro Runabout open and walked away far from the opposition cruising to the finish line although, he faced a mechanical issue (almost destroyed completely the coupler dampener) on the last lap. HChokuthit Molee won the GP Runabout. He looks strong and favorite for the world title.

Canadian multi world champion Mike Klippenstein gave a remarkable show with younger rider Kevin Reiteter and managed to win the Pro Am Ski Stock in a class of his own. The second moto which was the most crucial one, kept the spectators in great agony since Reiterer tried anything he cold in order to past Klipper. Though, the Canadian maintained his lead up to the finish line and added another world title under his belt.

The young Austrian athlete was in an unbeatable rhythm and proved to be one of the future top riders. The second moto of this class was simply outstanding. Reiterer quickly made it to the first place and kept his pace until the end of the race. Second place finish was critical, right at the photo finish, between Botti and Klippentein. Botti was hunting Klipper for the whole race until he made his move at the final corner.

A week before the Pro weekend, Dustin Motzouris was shown at Crazy beach practicing along with his tuner Steve Webster of Kommander Industries. Dustin is running a new engine set up that features a DASA big bore cylinder with power valves. Motzouris is trying to finalize the handling set up basically with the ride plate. He still uses the carbon Kommander Industries (ex-JSU) ride plate but he has made new holes in order to increase hook up at the rear end and improve stability at high speeds since he is using a lighter carbon hull made by Trinity Composites.
