The first round of P1 AquaX kicked off this past weekend, and Yamaha WaveRunners has a lot to celebrate after the tour opener held in Daytona Beach. Saturday’s conditions were enough to weed out many of the contenders who simply did not have the mettle to handle the challenging surf. Others found the limits of their chosen watercraft to be too much and promptly backed out of Sunday’s motos.
Either way, athletes piloting Yamaha WaveRunners – be them supercharged SVHO-powered FX and GP runabouts, naturally-aspirated GP HO’s and even the 2021 SuperJet making its racing debut – all took top spots in the weekend’s results. In fact, most class podiums were entirely that, all Yamaha – verifying that the brand with the tuning forks has what it takes to dominate the rough stuff.
Here’s what Yamaha Motor Corp. USA wrote:
Pro Enduro rookie and Yamaha FX SVHO rider Tory Snyder impressed at Round 1 of the P1 AquaX tour in Daytona Beach, Florida; finishing first overall in front of fellow Yamaha riders Eminio Iantosca (Yamaha FX SVHO) and Chris MacClugage (Yamaha GP1800R SVHO), respectively.
All total, Yamaha watercraft racers dominated the rough Florida surf, with nine riders finishing in the top 10 overall of the premier Pro Enduro class.
Yamaha riders also swept the AM 300 class, finished 1-2 in the AM 200 class, finished 1-2 in the Sprint SE class, swept the Sport GP class, and the all-new four-stroke SuperJet finished third in its P1 AquaX racing debut.
Congratulations to Broward Motorsports, Dean’s Team/Snyder Built, RIVA Racing, and all of the riders and families that make watercraft racing such a great sport.
P1 AquaX Pro Enduro racing action return May 20-23 in Cocoa Beach, Florida.
