PROUDLY SUPPORTING PWC RACING & EVENTS AROUND THE WORLD
2017 Hot Products IJSBA Mark Hahn Memorial Havasu 300 Mile Endurance Race
The Longest One Day Endurance Race in the World!
The 2017 race will be the 13th
anniversary of this great event, set
to launch from Crazy Horse
Campground in Lake Havasu City,
Arizona, on February 12, 2017.
Last year was a huge success,
with over 50 race entries from 14
countries, this has become a world-
class event. Manufacturers view this
as one of the most prestigious events
and set their goals each year to be
the overall manufacturer champion,
an honor which Kawasaki took home
in both Runabout and Standup overall
in 2015 and 2016.
Each year the race is held in the
memory of endurance racer Mark
Hahn, who was instrumental in
providing the momentum to keep
endurance racing going strong and
growing across the country before his
untimely death during a PWC race in
2004. The “Team” format features two
riders for runabout (sit down) boat
teams and up to three riders for a
stand-up craft. Solo riders are also
welcome to “Ironman” the race on
either style of boat, a real test of
endurance and stamina of both the
riders and their race craft.
2016 Overall Champions
Runabout Overall:
Jean Bruno
Pastorello & Jean-Baptiste Botti
Kawasaki Ultra
Stand-Up Overall Class Team:
Kody
Copenhaver & Aaron Gewecke
Kawasaki 800 SXR
For International racers that would
like to race this event and need assis-
tance for importing and equipment in
Lake Havasu please call:

at (928) 230-3344.
We look forward to seeing everyone
at the races in 2017.

2017 was kicked off to a great start
with the Hydro-Turf and Hot Products
partnership to title sponsor the 2017
Daytona Freeride.
Due to the recent hurricane that
pummeled the shores of Daytona
Beach, the new venue’s beach loca-
tion was moved just north of the
Daytona Beach boardwalk.
Friday set the standard for the
weekend with sunshine all day, warm
upper 70s temperature, and most of
all, constant big clean surf! The 1/2
mile stretch of beach was double
parked full of over 250 registered
riders hitting the surf.
Hot Products Preferred Dealer
Chris Williams of JetManiac was
onsite all weekend, having his ear to
the ground as a rider who caters to all
the needs of the riders from the top
pros to the up and coming. He had all
of his unique parts for sale, keeping
skis running all weekend.
Hot Products unsung industry
hero Tom Perry tirelessly wrangled
the support and logistics of multiple
west coast companies to get them all
packed up with products and booth
goods to become a presence by 48
hour road trip transit in the TC
Freeride Trailer. WORX Racing/DASA
Kyle Kennedy and TC Freeride/
Rickter Representative Jericho Kaiser
made the round trip effort this year to
bring over TC Freeride, Rickter, RRP,
Hot Products, Hydro-Turf, Skat-Trak,
WORX, Dasa Racing, and
Kommander Industries.
Additional event and raffle spon-
sors included Exotic Signs, Jet Renu,
RacuWerx, MotoOption, Ormond
Brewing Company, Tigercraft, Atlantis
Enterprises, Watcon, Mikuni USA,
Gasket Technology and more
companies who came to participate.
