John Belton of PWCOFFSHORE.com Racing Is The first STOCK Craft To Cross The Line At The 2009 DP2AV Offshore Race
John Belton, AKA "THE MASTER" of the channel to Catalina Island thrives on his stock Kawasaki 260X at the 2009 Dana Point to Avalon Offshore Race with a 5th place overall finish in the 37 mile offshore race to Avalon.
Riding his completely stock Kawasaki 260X, Belton was the first racer to cross the finish line on a completely stock craft. Every craft that finished ahead of Belton was modified, most were very heavily modified craft with speeds approaching or exceeding 80 miles per hour. So what makes John able to be so co
mpetitive on a stock craft? Time and experience; Belton has crossed the channel from Los Angeles to Catalina Island in excess of 500 times on a PWC (yes, more than 500 times). You will be challenged to find anyone else on the planet with more experience in the channel than John Belton. An accomplished sailor, this endurance athlete and former Marathon runner is a force to be reckoned with in any offshore PWC Race and remains a tremendous wealth of information regarding what it takes to be successful in racing PWC offshore.
One of the most mild mannered, focused and nicest people you will encounter, but don't be fooled by the calm demeanor and mild mannered approach. Belton is a tenacious competitor on the race course that will put any racer through his or her paces. Those who know endurance racing know and respect Mr. John Belton.
