DSM Events has officially released a date for the 2015 Hot Products IJSBA Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300, presented by Yamaha. On the morning of February 28, 2015, the 11th annual “World’s Longest PWC Race” will kick off from Lake Havasu City, Arizona’s Crazy Horse Campground.
Once again sanctioned by the International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA), the 300-mile endurance race, in memory of fallen PWC endurance racer Mark Hahn, is expected to attract a record number of international teams and top PWC racers from across the United States. Not only will each team compete for top honors in one of six classes, but many will no doubt be pushing themselves and their pit crews to the limits in efforts to break the existing record time set in 2014 by Monster Energy/Kawasaki’s Craig Warner.
“The race is returning to Crazy Horse Campground’s main beach site for this very important event,” said DSM Events owner Jim Russell, “and the 10-mile course we have approval [on] from the Coast Guard will pit all the teams against the wind, rough water and long runs that this event has become synonymous with.” In addition to the weather conditions, crews will be expected to pit their watercraft and perform several safe refuels and rider changes during the four- to six-hour event.
The 2015 race will again feature the mandatory use of electronic transponders on each race craft. The “team format” will allow up to two alternating riders per runabout (sit-down), and up to three riders per stand-up, with solo “Ironman” racers welcome in either category.
Entry forms and entry information sheets are scheduled to be released soon on the Mark Hahn Memorial 300 website. In the meantime, you can check out the full press release at www.pwcfun.com
