For 2015 we opened the Pro Watercross Hidden Trails National Tour season in Panama City Beach, FL. With the white sand beaches and clear emerald blue water this is one of the most picturesque locations we have on the schedule, and a racer favorite.
The season is starting out big in 2015 with a who's who in PWC racing littering the beach in front of the Boardwalk Beach Resort. We have 120+ entries for the weekend, a Sport Stock Class with 14 riders and a Pro Ski GP Class large enough we had to run qualifiers for Sunday's Pro Show!
In Heat #1 of Pro Ski GP the spectators witnessed Chris "The G.O.A.T." MacClugage put on a clinic on how to ride in the Panama surf. His smooth, and of course fast ride was seemingly effortless all the way to the checkered flag.Heat #2 of Pro Ski GP was dominated by Rob "Flo" Flores. We took the lead early on aboard his Factory Yamaha Flo designed hull, and never looked back all the way through the checkered flag.Ermino Iantosca however did not have the same luck in the Pro Runabout GP Class. After pulling the holeshot, early in the race, as he came around the turn leading to the front stretch... he broke down. This gave Abdullah Al-Fadhel the top spot and first place finish.Word in the pits is that Ermino blew a motor during the race, replaced it and then blew that motor. At this time, it is unclear whether he will be on line for his motos tomorrow.Join us tomorrow for our final motos and see who will come out on top of the 2015 Pro Watercross podium!
