In less than two months, the annual Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300 race will be held on the shores of the Crazy Horse Campground in historic Lake Havasu City, Arizona. PWCOffshore.com GUNZ team racer GL Legendre will be teaming up with fellow GUNZ racer Tom Cruz to compete in possibly the world’s most challenging endurance event. Legendre wrote:
“This year I have the opportunity to have a 9 year long dream fulfilled. When I first joined Greenhulk.net I read about PWCOffshore.com, their riders and team. As the time past and I followed the site’s information, followed the west coast endurance/offshore race scene, the LB2Cat Race Videos, and the member’s post on the forums I learned about the Kawasaki Ultra and PWC racing. My initial intention was to focus on endurance and offshore racing.
“Since we did not have any races on this (Southeast) side of the country, I had to travel west to the 2012 Mark Hahn Race. Our team was put together quickly to accommodate the timeline for this race. The Pit Crew was comprised of several friends who wanted to participate in the race and support the cause. Our pit crew ‘while having fun’ and with only the best intentions, experienced a few issues.
“The PWCOffshore.com team was next to us. Just being there in a race next to them was an awe inspiring moment since the racers and team were the reason I was there. They saw our struggles and between all of their work in their own pits, they took the time to help our team. With that assistance, we finished top 10. Since that day actually meeting the entire team, their racers, and experiencing the team’s class and professionalism, my dream to be a part of this group strengthened.
“I was asked to join PWCOffshore.com‘s team in 2015 for what I though was such a huge honor – then that was escalated to a new level when PWCOffshore.com‘s founder Mark Gerner contacted me in late 2015 asking me to join them for the 2016 Mark Hahn race teaming with Tom Cruz. This race by far, no matter what the finish will be a highlight of my career representing the team. I look forward to the opportunity!”
