It was a heck of a shuffle this past weekend at the Kissimmee, Florida stop of the P1 AquaX tour as spectators witnessed two of the sport’s most seasoned – and winningest – racers of all time battle it out in the Pro Enduro. Dustin Farthing, who not only retains his leadership position on the points board, but also captains the Factory Yamaha WaveRunners race team, held back Chris MacClugage long enough to maintain his lead but first place on the podium. MacClugage slipped in at a solid second place, with Farthing’s son, Deven securing third.
All three piloted SVHO-powered WaveRunners (both GP and FX models) and proved whether conditions were ideal or blown out with 25mph winds, that Yamaha has what it takes to bring home the checkered flag. The final two motos really shook out the men from the boys as weather proved just as much of a factor as the other racers on the field. In addition to including the press release from Yamaha Motor Corp. USA below, we’ve also inserted the latest video of the race’s exploits from Farthing Racing’s YouTube channel to enjoy below too:
Here’s the original press release:
Kissimmee, Florida, played host to another dominant weekend for Yamaha WaveRunner racing at the P1 AquaX Pro Enduro, where Yamaha riders swept the podium, showcasing the unparalleled performance of the Yamaha GP SVHO® WaveRunner. Leading the charge was Monster Energy®/Farthing Racing’s Dustin Farthing, the reigning P1 AquaX Pro Enduro World and National points leader. Farthing clinched two out of three moto wins with a strong 1-1-2 result, securing 1st overall for the weekend. This latest victory not only cemented his weekend dominance but also extended his lead in the championship point standings with just two rounds remaining. With the title now firmly in his sights, Farthing is poised to clinch the championship.
Farthing wasn’t the only one in top form. His son, Deven Farthing, also put on a solid performance, landing 3rd overall with a 2-3-5 finish. Meanwhile, Yamaha veteran Chris MacCluggage rounded out the podium with a 2nd-place overall finish, marking yet another impressive outing for Yamaha’s GP SVHO and FX SVHO® WaveRunners, which continue to assert their supremacy in the series. The competition kicked off in ideal conditions for Moto 1, but riders were soon forced to battle 25 mph winds in the final two motos. Yet, Yamaha’s team proved more than up to the challenge, with all of their athletes pushing through the harsh conditions to secure a sweep of the top five finishes overall. “We couldn’t be more proud of the team’s performance this weekend in Kissimmee,” said Yamaha WaveRunner Racing Manager Bryce Parker.
“Dustin, Deven, and Tory [Snyder] all showed the world why Yamaha WaveRunners continue to lead the sport. The Yamaha GP SVHO is unmatched in power, handling, and reliability, and this weekend’s podium sweep is a testament to that.” As the season winds down, Yamaha WaveRunner racing holds a commanding lead in the P1 AquaX Pro Enduro series and shows no signs of letting up. All eyes will be on the final two rounds as Dustin Farthing looks to bring home the championship.
