PWCOFFSHORE Announces The Creation Of The PWCOFFSHORE "Gunz" Racing Group






PWCOFFSHORE.com announces the creation of the PWCOFFSHORE Gunz Racing Group. The Gunz Group will augment PWCOFFSHORE's Sponsored Racer's Group that focuses primarily on racing in the professional PWC class. The PWCOFFSHORE Gunz Group will focus primarily on racing and excelling in the Amateur and Sportsman classes of PWC endurance and offshore racing. Gerner, founder of PWCOFFSHORE.com said that "these racers are the future of offshore and endurance racing. Those designated are relatively new to offshore and endurance racing but have differentiated themselves with tremendous passion for the endurance and offshore racing niche and have excelled in the sport. They have represented the sport with class, knowledge and professionalism. We expect them to continue to represent the sport accordingly and assist the club in growing the sport while affiliated with PWCOFFSHORE."

Please join me in welcoming Sean Conner to PWCOFFSHORE.com as our first Gunz Racer! Sean brings great riding ability and a passion for our sport that will fit nicely into our vision for success on the race course and the demeanor to assist in growing our sport! Sean is smart, articulate knows racing and is tenacious on the race course. Sean will have well over 100 years of experience to leverage from the Sponsored Racer Group to assist him in achieving success.
Sean Conner has spent his life on the water. From the time he was 6 months old on the California Delta to traveling the country as Assistant Crew Chief for the Miss Geico Offshore Powerboat Race Team. Sean started riding PWC's in 1998 at the age of 10 and has been hooked ever since. His primary riding grounds are the California Bay Area. Sean is either working or racing. Sean prefers the hardcore nature of offshore PWC racing in big water but also enjoys the technical aspects and requirements of long distance racing such as the Mark Hahn 300 Mile Endurance Race. Sean started with the Miss Geico Offshore Racing Team in 2006 as part of the boat crew. Continuing on through the 2007ʼ and 2008ʼ season, Sean advanced to Assistant Crew Chief. In this capacity, Sean has executed the setup of the Miss Geico offshore race boats for 45 races including two record speed runs resulting in three consecutive National and World Championships. "Two things that Iʼm known for is attention to detail and strategy" says Sean. "Never overlooking the smallest of details, they do make a difference. Double checking every part, piece, nut, bolt, fitting, championships after every run. Paying attention to detail is what wins races and builds championships. I always have a strategy before each race" Says Sean. "Knowing the strong and weak points of both yourself and your competitors are key to capitalizing on situations when they present themselves, winning races is all about preparation and attention to details." Sean's most prized accomplishment in racing is winning the 2008 Offshore World Championship in Key West with the Geico Team.

Sean' Conner's plans for next season:
Mark Hahn 300 Mile Endurance PWC Race
Dana Point to Avalon Offshore Sprint PWC Race
Long Beach to Catalina Offshore National Championship
6 Race Points Series in Norcal (He wants this championship!)
World Finals Enduro
