The Team Twangled / Freestyle Factory team just got back from Round 3 of the IJSBA National Tour which was held in Racine, Wis. The team returned home with a few bruises, some broken equipment (Brad Bohat had an unfortunate incident in Moto 2 of Pro Runabout Stock), and even some BLING! Special thanks to all of our riders that came out, competed and supported the team which besides myself included: Brad Bohat, Greg Brock, Mike Hoffman, Joe Eckert & our amateur freestyle Jessica Wiebesiek whom came out and captured video and pictures for us to share.
Monster Energy Mountain Motorsports Yamaha rider Dustin Farthing was finally challenged this year during the third moto of the Pro-AM Runabout Open class with Claude Clayton getting a good jump out of the gate and holding the lead for several laps before the King was able to get by him to ride to the win and a first overall. Brian Baldwin got back into the swing of things on his Champion Powersports Sea-Doo and nailed down the second spot with the Dave’s Auto Body Kawasaki of Eric Francis closing out the top three.
In the Ski GP class we had a battle of the energy drinks as Chris MacClugage rode well with a moto 2 win and a second in moto 3 to put his Monster Energy Macc Racing #30 on the top step of the podium. Rob Flores improved his finishing position in all three motos on his Rockstar Energy Raceski.com boat to tally a second overall and David Redinger got his Kommander Industries Blowsion machine back in the top three with consistent riding that helped keep his national championship hopes alive.
The Pro-Am Runabout Stock class gave us some of the best racing of the day with Troy Snyder pulling a hole shot in both the last two motos on his Snyder Built Riva Racing Sea-Doo. Chris MacClugage patiently stalked him and was able to pass him cleanly in both motos on his Monster Energy Hydro-Turf Sea-Doo for the overall win. Snyder kept a firm hold on the 2nd spot and Erminio Iantosca worked his way through the pack on his Redbull Riva Racing Sea-Doo for the final spot on the podium.
It was a great local turnout for the Pro Freestyle with Mike Widdes taking the win and a great showing from Gary Burtka, Mike Hoffman, Joe Eckert and Greg Brock.
Below are some pictures of the fathers that competed on Fathers Day – Happy Fathers Day to all the Dads out there.
We do have one correction from the US Open of Watercross in Montgomery, AL. In the Pro-Am Runabout Stock class Sea-Doo rider Troy Snyder finished ahead of Stan Hightower for a third place finish. We had a terrific time here in Racine, WI and are looking forward to coming back next year and we will, because the ink just dried on the contracts so the Grand Prix of Watercross will return for a fourth year in a row. We need to send a big thank you to the folks at Real Racine and all the local business that helped make this year such a huge success.
Check out their website at realracine.com and we look forward to seeing everyone in two weeks in Sparks, NV for the Sparks Xtreme Beach Sports Festival.
