The 2024 PWC Race season had its usual share of spectacular performances, startling upsets, surprise endings and awe-inspiring comebacks. It also had more than its share of drama.
As with many dramas, the only thing to do is sit back and see how they play out, and with PWC racing – or any competitive arena – the majority of participants stay out of the fray, caring only about how any conflict resolution impacts their season – where and when the races are, the purses available, and the rules they have to follow to win said prize money.
In the past week, the PWC race family is starting to see progress on at least part of those priorities – the when and where – as several promoters have released 2025 season competition schedules. Although there are still some holes to fill – with several TBD notations in the lineup and several promoters not yet releasing 2025 information – there is enough meat on the bone to fire up some enthusiasm and have racers dragging out the 2025 calendar to pencil in what really matters – Race Weekends!
Here is what we know so far, as posted by race organizations:
EAST COAST WATERCROSS
Ok racers here it is! 2025 schedule is almost finalized!
6 weekends, 12 rounds of racing and maybe even Friday practices.
We will announce more soon on Friday practice times but know that our goal is to open the course up Friday afternoons for a few hours for practice.
Class lists will come out soon, we are working on a plan to bring together some different class structures to cater to demand such as VET classes and a class to allow the two stroke Superjets with pipes to race with us so the @ajsa_racing boys can get in on region 8 bar banging!
We are waiting on paperwork from a new site in Clark PA but it looks promising that those dates will work out well, this Clark PA round is the weekend prior to the @greatlakeswatercross harbor beach cup and triple crown round and is only 5.5 hours away, both myself and @h2ox595 will be heading to race the triple crown in harbor beach after Clark round.
The first round is still waiting on permits my goal is to have it in my hometown area of central NH, more to come on that as we make progress.
Plattsburgh NY will host the third and final round of the triple crown series where we will be handing out no less than $25,000 to the winners thanks to a lot of key donors and guys like @toddczarcinski behind the scenes putting in the work on this series! This site can be glass or be 4-5’ers so with any luck it’s rough and with all beach shoreline we won’t have any safety concerns with heavy winds and waves like we had at Sylvan last round of the season last year.
We need sponsors to help us get these races pulled off on a professional level so please reach out if you can help financially in any way
We are looking to fill a few staff positions as well this season if you are interested in full time or part time course Marshaling or scoring please reach out to
Thanks and we are looking forward to an epic 2025 racing

We will be using a new GPS-based scoring program that has been proven successful in P1 and other endurance racing applications. With this program, each team can monitor their position within the race in real-time. The only caveat is that the program only assesses penalties after the race has ended, so any penalties assessed during the race will be put in once the race has concluded, affecting the final order/scoring. We have done a lot of research to bring a program that has proven successful in racing.
