The 2017 west coast race season kicks off this weekend in Lake Havasu, Arizona with the Gary Hart Memorial. This will be a great event as RPM Racing will be the event coordinator and they have proven that they can give the fans what they want to see. This will be the start to an extremely busy but exciting year of racing.
The events start Friday, April 7th with rider check in and registration. This will be open from 12-6 so make sure to swing by early to get their in time. Saturday is the big day because at 6:45am there will be a safety inspection of your equipment and your craft. There will also be time if you were not able to register. This will go until 8am as there will be a mandatory riders meeting that every rider MUST attend in order to race.
Concluding the meeting, there will be 45 minutes of closed course racing practice to warm up and dial in any last minute adjustments. The qualifying rounds will start at 9:30am and will go to 1pm. Then the freestyle portion of this event starts right after. But will only be for about half an hour. Then the final rounds for racing will begin and will go to 5pm. Sundays events will be the same in the morning but will hold races from 8:45am-2pm. Following there will be a flyboard and freestyle competition then the racing awards ceremony.
These events take hours and hours of planning and do cost a lot of money so a huge shoutout goes to all of the companies who have stepped up and sponsored this event.
