R.P.M. Racing Enterprises Announces the APBA Dana Point to Avalon Offshore Sprint Race!
R.P.M. Racing Enterprises of Redondo Beach, Ca. announces the APBA Dana Point, Ca. to Avalon Offshore Sprint Race! Offshore PWC/Jet Ski Racers from around the United States have already lined up to convene at The Dana Point Marina on Sunday April 5, 2009 at 8 am to take on the new Dana Point to Avalon challenge for man/woman and machine. The race is an APBA sanctioned event and will include Profession, Amateur and Veteran class racers who will take on the 37 mile, wide open throttle offshore sprint across the channel to Catalina Island on their PWCs. Gerner, founder of PWCOFFSHORE.com said that he is "pleased to see yet another great APBA sanctioned offshore endurance event in Southern California, its exciting to see the offshore PWC racing arena growing and attracting new offshore enthusiasts that are willing to challenge the elements in the open ocean with their watercraft. It takes a special breed of endurance athlete to win this type of race." Gerner went on to say that "it doesn't get any better for the offshore PWC racer than holding the throttle wide open in the open ocean, hammering through the rough water with fellow offshore enthusiasts." Ross Wallach, the promoter of the race and owner of R.P.M. Racing Enterprises stated that he believes this event has all the makings of a great endurance race that is really geared not just to the hardcore racers but any PWC enthusiast. Wallach went on to say "R.P.M. is proud to be a part of this event and we think races like this will be a catalyst to help revitalize the sport of offshore endurance racing!"
Kevin Shaw of Personal Watercraft Illustrated Magazine ("PWI") stated that "We’re all very excited to see yet another offshore venue grace the Southern California coast. The Dana Point to Avalon Sprint has all the makings of becoming yet another “halo” event, on par with the challenging Long Beach to Catalina and Back (LB2CAT) event (also presented by Ross Wallach and RPM Enterprises) and the sport’s longest endurance event, the Mark Hahn Memorial 300. We want to welcome participants from across the nation to come and test their mettle against the elements, the open ocean, and some of the country’s most dedicated offshore competitors. We’ll see you there!"
“When WaterCraft World heard about the Dana Point to Avalon Offshore Sprint Race coming to Southern California in early April, we were pleased to have another offshore race in the mix. There has been quite a resurgence in the sport as of late, and this event should entice others to try the ocean-style offshore competition. It’s definitely not for the timid, but there’s really nothing like racing across the mighty Pacific Ocean.”-Jason Johnson, Editor WaterCraft World magazine
