Hidden Trails Pro Watercross National Tour Panama City Beach Wrap Up
Panama City Beach Wrap UpPhotos & Story: Hidden Trails Pro Watercross National Tour MediaThe 2015 SuperCup of Watercross in Panama City Beach, Florida was one for the record books as more than 140 racers from around the world competed in the beautiful waters along the Emerald Coast. No one could have asked for a more stunning location than front and center on the white sandy beach next to the Boardwalk Beach Resort Hotel & Convention Center.Pro Ski GP was one of the most exciting classes of the entire weekend, with 20 competitors lining up for qualifying heats. On Saturday, Chris MacClugage was flawless in Heat 1 and Rob Flores had the fastest overall time in Heat 2. This set the stage for the pro show on Sunday, in which MacClugage built a commanding lead from the first turn to the checkers, leaving the rest of the pack to fight for second place. Jimmy Wilson and Dustin Motzouris overcame the increasingly rough conditions, rounding out the podium in 2nd and 3rd for the weekend.In Pro Runabout Open, the story of Saturday was major mechanical problems causing top Sea-Doo rider Erminio Iantosca to withdraw from moto one almost immediately. Unfortunately, he was unable to resolve the issue quickly enough to return for motos two and three on Sunday. Abdullah Al-Fadhel had strong showings on both Saturday and Sunday, taking his place atop the podium while his Dean's Team/ Yamaha teammate Troy Snyder took 2nd overall. Dylan Osborn made his professional debut, rounding out the podium in third place.Chris MacClugage again stole the show in Pro-Am Ski Stock with first place finishes in all three motos. He was followed by Rob Flores and Jimmy Wilson in 2nd and 3rd overall.On Saturday, the first moto of Pro-Am Runabout Stock ended with Abdullah Alfadhel , Eric Francis and Brian Baldwin placing first, second and third, respectively; however, after Sunday's motos, the overall finishers were Brian Baldwin in first, followed by Eric Francis in second and Abdullah Alfadhel in third.In anticipation of the upcoming 2015 television coverage, this weekend marked the first time that the Hidden Trails National Tour included Sport GP in the pro show and Team Faith's Kelly Smith responded by making his own debut atop the podium.Hidden Trails Yamaha Pro Watercross Tour Round #1 Freestyle Report (Panama City, FL) The 1st Round of the Hidden Trails Yamaha Pro Watercross Tour was held in Panama City Beach, Florida, as a part of the, " Super Cup of Watercross", on May 9th and 10th behind the Boardwalk Beach Resort.
