When going sat Body Beach or any beach that does not mean that you have the right to trash it. Walt’s Motorsports and Marine is trying to make a point and show to everybody that we have to care about the environment. After all, leaving the place clean and nice is in our hands. There is no need to spoil the beautiful scenery of Lake Havasu. Congratulation to Tony Beck of Walt’s for making this move.

Dustin Motzouris is using Blowsion’s new front sponsons on his Trinity carbon hull SX-R. These sponsons are just a little bit thicker at the lower side that the usual ones or the Macc Racing ones. Dustin mentioned that in terms of handling and stability those sponsons are very good.

Japanese rider Norito Nakano was spot at Body Beach trying to finalize the set up of his RXP. This year Nakano is not using a Zapata hull race craft since he had experienced lots of handling issues last year. The lower seat unit and the front hood are made by him. Soon we will reveal more of the tech spec and details of his race craft.

The particular Ultra hood is a two piece unit that has been designed by Dustin Farthing and made by 3DR. It is bolt on by quick release bolts on special crafted aluminum brackets and it is very light. This hood is available through TBM or Farthing Racing.

The picture S4 will be raced by Urbain from Belgium and it has been prepared by JSU.be. Though, it features a splendid paint job similar to the one that MacClugage had last year on his helmet. This superb design was done by Alex Paul of APDesigns.

This is the brand new cast aluminum ride plate for Ultra that Dustin Farthing is using on one of his three race crafts. Its design differs from the existing model since it does not have the side grooves as well the built in trim tab. The new ride plate was designed by Farthing father and recently it was built by TBM. The particular model is for race use only and it cannot accommodate the reverse bucket.

One of the few Riva brand new ride plates and close loop cooling systems was fit in Greece on an RXT-X along with a Stage III kit and the results were superb. According to tuner Tasos Zisis of Marine Service Kavalas the particular set up resulted on a top speed of 80.5mph A figure that was shown repeatedly on GPS screen. Riva stated that the open loop system is not recommended for the stock engine set up since the intercooler runs too cool therefore it alters a lot the A/FR. Though, it works fine with the stage III kit on the engine. Well, done for the guys in Kavala that made RXT-X owner Nikos very happy with the overall result.
