Now that the dust in the pits has settled and the waters of Lake Havasu have calmed, people are just starting to get back into their regular daily duties as “respectable” members of society. So while trailers are being unloaded and loads of laundry being washed, many are waiting for the full recap and results from this past week’s 2016 IJSBA World Finals. While The Watercraft Journal will have its full report in a day’s time, we do want to congratulate our friends at Dean’s Team for an absolutely stellar showing.
As per our most recent publishing, multi-time World Champion Chris MacClugage took home the overall in Pro-Am Runabout Stock aboard a Dean’s Team-built, Broward Motorsports/Monster Energy-supported Yamaha FZR. But Chris was not alone in his victory and was joined on the podium by two other Dean’s Team racers Abdullah Al-Fadhel and Aero Aswar. In a celebratory post on Facebook, Dean’s Team own Dean Charrier wrote:
“Congratulations to Chris MacClugage for winning the Pro Runabout Stock World Title at the 35th Annual IJSBA World Finals jet ski Competition at Lake Havasu City, AZ on his Dean’s Team Yamaha! It’s always great working with Macc and watching him race as he keeps proving he’s the best to ever do it. Congrats to Abdullah Al-Fadhel and Aero Aswar for rounding out the podium finishing 2nd and 3rd on their Dean’s Team Yamahas! All three racers ran hard every moto and stepped up the pace in the most biggest and most competitive runabout class of the week.”
That means that Dean’s Team Yamahas swept all three podium positions in Pro Runabout Stock class at IJSBA World Finals, with MacClugage taking the title, Al-Fadel taking silver and Aero Aswar bringing home the bronze. Yet, for the latter two racers, these weren’t their only titles. The Dean’s Team racers dominated Pro-Am Spec class, with Abdullah Al-Fadhel in first, Aero Aswar in third and Aswar’s younger brother Aqsa in 5th. Additionally, Travis Zielasko crushed it in Amateur Spec taking first, and impressively, Jeff Dyckowski claimed World Championships in Vet Box Stock, Pro-Am Limited and Pro-Am Box Stock.
