Watch some of the best jet ski racers in the world compete for the regional championship in multiple classes including Ski, Sport, Runabout, Vintage, GP and Juniors and in several categories including slalom, closed course and freestyle.
Closed Course racing is currently the most popular competition in the Personal Watercraft racing community. Closed Course allows competitors to line up on a single starting line and then compete on a tight course made up of multiple buoys. Competitors will navigate a closed course composed of right and left-hand turns. Obstacles may be used in this style of event.
In slalom racing competitors navigate a multi-buoy zig-zag course of left and right-hand turns. The final position is based on the fastest track time. Typically, a ten-second penalty is given per missed buoy unless the rider navigates back and correctly completes the turn.
Competitors in a freestyle event will execute a routine displaying acrobatic and aerial tricks. Each competitor will receive two minutes to perform a routine showcasing their skills for the audience and a panel of judges.
Food will be available for purchase.
Admission is free for spectators.
Note: The $7.00 per vehicle state park parking fee still applies for this event.
Spectators are encouraged to bring their own chairs and/or tents to watch.
Gates open at 9:00 AM and the racing starts at 10:00 AM both days of the event.
