The Watercraft Journal opened up our email earlier today to find the official P1 AquaX results from Sheboygan and Clearwater, along with Championship points standing and rankings as of the end of Round 4 of the Series’ 5 rounds.
And while we have heard, and seen, the dissension and concerns that have flooded social media channels since the closing of the races at Clearwater, we will address those issues in a separate article, after speaking with those directly involved and sitting down first-hand with some of the AquaX racers during this weekend’s AJSA Race, and seeking input from AquaX officials.
For now, we will report on the official results as we would following the conclusion of any race.
In the Pro Enduro class, which is the only class for which results have been distributed at this point, the late-release results from Round 3 in Sheboygan, which took place Aug. 8-10, have #6 Deven Farthing placing taking 2nd in the first moto, 1st in the second moto, and slipping to 8th in Moto three, to claim the overall number one spot on his Yamaha GP 1800 and adding 56 points to the 57 earned in St. Cloud and the 35 gained in the season opener in New Orleans.
#477 Jay Edworthy on a Sea-Doo 325 RXPX snagged the second podium spot in Sheboygan, with a 5/7/1 set of finishes to add 51 season Championship points to the 113 earned in rounds 1 and 2.
Securing the third podium step at Sheboygan was another Yamaha GP 1800, this one piloted by #373 Noah Skipps, who put in 3rd, 2nd and 9th place finishes over the weekend to take 3rd overall and add 47 points to the 71 garnered in rounds 1 & 2.
Moving to Clearwater results, the Pro Enduro class saw 17 riders on the line, and the official Round 4 results awards #116 Vanjae Ramgeet, also piloting a Yamaha GP 1800, 59 Season/Championship points for his 1st place overall finished, earned with a 3/1/3 weekend record.
On the second podium spot coming out of Clearwater was #105, Christian Daly, who parlayed a 1/14/3 weekend into a silver finish and an added 55 points to tack onto his 42 from Round 3, 67 from Round 2, and season-opening 49 points in New Orleans, to give him 213 season points and put him him in first in the Championship hunt headed into the final round, which will take place in St. Pete.
Securing a 3rd place finish in Clearwater was Skipps, who pushed his GP 1800 into a 4/2/5 weekend and another 49 points for his season total.
With the final round just a week away, there is a season’s worth of competitiveness built up and bragging rights (not to mention prize $$) on the line as the top three points-holders — Daly (213), Edworthy (203) and Skipps (167) — hit the line with a full field dogging their heels.
