Mike Klippenstein ride successfully his R&D Turbo powered Yamaha FX SVHO at the Offshore race of Danna Point to Oceanside and he saw first the chequered flag. Klipper was gone away out front from the start to the point at the turn point 25 miles out, he did not reset his GPS device and he did not have the exact point of the finish since he never ran in that area before. Therefore he sat and waited for second place finisher to arrive to have a reference to the finish as he did not know where the finish was and then he gas it ahead to win. A great success not only for Canadian Superstar Mike Klippenstein but also for R&D since the Turbo kits of the American company seems to rocking hard. Mike put it in his own words “Awesome PWC Offshore race-day at Dana point/Oceanside with some outstanding racers, friends, race promoter, and staff. Special thanks to Bill Chapin and Glenn Dickinson at R&D Racing, Yamaha Motor Corp., Queen Racing, Oakley USA, Skat-Trak, Hurricane Industries, Blackfoot Motorsports, Jettrim, Quakysense, Gasket Tech., Without great sponsors none of this would be possible. The support is very much appreciated! Next goal...World Finals”. Congratulations to Mike for winning the Overall Standings.
