Although the year commencing the US tour of P1 AquaX series was solely in Florida, the transplanted racing series drew in new more and more races with each event. The four tour stops – Daytona Beach, Pahokee, Space Coast, and St. Cloud – welcomed both professional and amateur racers to test their mettle against each other and the elements.
Originally held around the United Kingdom, the AquaX series is unique in that modifications to the personal watercraft are heavily restricted to merely the handling and steering components. Engine performance modifications are strictly outlawed, as the classes are broken down by horsepower – 200hp -250hp- 300hp – not by rider.
Even with IJSBA World Champions in the fray, this year welcomed a rookie, Kevin Wassum as its first series championship, who rode his bone-stock Sea-Doo RXP-X at each event, gathering enough accrued points to take the top spot.
