I raced in the harbor at Port Clinton a few times but that was more than twenty years ago. As far as I know, no local races.
I take a few months off... man, you guys are boring....or gay jet ski thread

Freestyle is where the standups hang out now.
"jet skis" have evolved into 4 stroke - 4 cylinder, fuel injected, turbo-supercharged, nitro infused boats - with handlebars.
In the racing world - it's all about those barges now.
People throw Big money in those barges

Think it runs 60 mph stock and is very stabile. Had my FX1 up to 55 mph back in the day with just a limited pipe, a modified rev limiter and no stability.

Over the years there were three local race series that I participated in. Those days are gone. I left a couple of practice stickers on my handpole from those. Along with a bit of driftwood that I recently polished my pump case with.

I have one of those 4 cylinder 1800cc Supercharged Barges with handlebars on it, and it's pretty fun on it's own, I don't think I'd actually want to race it against other things like that on a course, it would be very dangerous they are so fast and powerful. I mostly use the power to propel people up in the air on the Flyboard, and that is a ton of fun. I had Rocky River High School hockey players doing it yesterday and they all had a blast.
Racing Jet Skis was a lot of fun in the WaveBlaster days.

Fun - for sure ....
A Rough day on the water yesterday
Prep was lacking, circuit got chopped up. Main line was brutally rough.
Could find a few smoother lines around the outsides if ya looked for em.
Good turnout - got a late start.
Riders meeting was held up because of - "sleeping in" ?????
Ah - yes....the dog days of summer....
