Jetcross is a high-speed all action sport full of fast turns, air-time and power and it’s coming to the USA for the first time in Daytona Beach.Over 100 racers, including the best from around the world, will compete at speeds of more than 70 MPH in the Daytona surf in front of the Plaza Resort & Spa. The event is free to the public with non-stop race action from 10:00 am - 4:00 pm each day. Fans will be able to meet the racers and see the powerful skis up close in the P1 race village and grandstand on the beach in front of the Plaza as well as enjoy food and drink from vendors in the P1 beer garden, with all proceeds benefitting the Special Operations Bionic Warriors who provide assistance to wounded military personnel.Amongst the race favorites will be last year’s AquaX Pro champion, Chris Macclugage, and world number 1 ranked racer, Aero Aswar. "Daytona Beach is one of the best racing venues on the circuit, and is my favorite place to race”, said Aero. “I know there are some racers who have their sights set on my world #1 spot; however, I will try my best to keep that position and win the overall championship.”“Seeing this event grow over the past four years, is testament to the growth of P1 AquaX as a sport which delivers a significant impact to the local area”, said P1 USA Director Azam Rangoonwala. “Top names in personal watercraft racing will be descending on Daytona in a few weeks and they are coming from all over the world.
