The final round of the US Offshore Series by RPM Racing Enterprises will finish off a great season of racing, via the famous Dana Point to Oceanside & Back course on Sunday, September 21st. Horsepower, navigation, and the discovery of a high speed sweet-spot in varying conditions will no doubt be page in the playbooks of the top American offshore racers. The Dana Point to Oceanside & Back race can present flat water or five foot wall water.
The recent Long Beach to Catalina & Back was highlighted by grudge-match of aftermarket technology and good ol’ factory stock, as Monster Kawasaki’s turbocharged Ultra staved off Manufacturer Stock Ultra 310Rs and Open class skis alike. When the chips fell, Craig Warner took his fifth consecutive title on the Kawasaki Ultra 310R turbo, and once again showed that the Ultra continues to be the offshore weapon of choice.
Multi-time closed-course champion Mike “The Klipper” Klippenstien will again make the trip from Canada for the final round to compete against the best American West Coast offshore racing has to offer: former overall Triple Crown of Offshore champion and Mark Hahn 300 mile race champion Mark Gerner, multi-time Vet Master closed course IJSBA World Champion KC Heidler and Stock class racer Mike Perry. Team Green’s Monster Enegry Kawasaki Minoru Kanamori will also be there to attempt to add a win to his collection of world championships. Minoru’s wife, Emi Kanamori will also be there to contend for the Manufacturer Stock class.
Overall, the field will be an impressive one, as racers will compete for the overall victory on September 21st. PWC racers from all over the country are welcome to enter as nothing compares to take on the open waters; hammering the throttle, navigating the swells, and making on-course adjustments to compensate for the changing mood of the beautiful Pacific Coast!
