DSM Events - boutique

Skiwi Rentals is pleased to once again be associated with Mike Follmer and DSM Events to provide Yamaha VX110 watercraft for the 2009 Mark Hahn Memorial 300 Mile Endurance Race.

The new VX110 Class was a great success at 2008 Mark Hahn Memorial 300 Mile Endurance Race and numerous enquiries have been made whether we would do it again.

Our answer is YES, with one minor change.

That change being that we need you to help with some of our expenses to help you get on the start line.

The cost is $250 (includes tax) per team. This helps cover things like prep, testing, watercraft transportation to Havasu, ATVs, staff, race numbers, extra single trailers, etc.

This will also allow us to have a couple of employees and friends to drive ATV's and help the teams.

Information:

To use one of our ski's teams will sign a rental agreement assuming responsibility for the jet ski and indemnifying Skiwi.

Payment of $250 (incl Tax) is required not later than 5pm Monday Feb 16th.

All racers must be 18 years or older.

We'll be located next to the Registration Booth to get all the paperwork out of the way at one time.

Check Mike's regular postings. He does a great job listing any changes and keeping everyone up to date with news about the event.

Please make sure you choose a race number that is not taken already. We'll have your race numbers on the ski before it we get to the event.

Please contact Skiwi upon getting your entry submitted. (Contact information below).

The Race:

The team requires 1-2 riders & ideally 2 pit crew.

You'll need an 4 wheel drive ATV & trailer to make your pit refueling faster.

We've organized a few ATV's with trailers & staff to be made available for the Skiwi VX110 teams.

If you can bring an ATV with a hitch please let us know so we can bring extra trailers.

The VX110 is frugal with it's gas consumption. You will use about 45 gallons of Regular 87 for the entire race.

The gas tank has a 15 gallon capacity. Ski's must be prefilled on Friday afternoon so bring gas to registration.

A lanyard will be provided with each PWC.

If you need life jacket's let us know. We'll bring some for those that need them.

Licenses:

If you do not have a current APBA Race License Membership you should be able to purchase a Single Event Membership at Registration.

The cost for these is normally about $20 -$25.

Please check with DSM.

Gear you need:

You will need a wet suit, gloves, helmet, goggles and suitable footwear. Maybe a tour coat if you have one.

Bring a jacket in case it's a cold day.

Also, bring some water, Gatorade, etc to keep yourself hydrated.

Bring some snack bars... you will get hungry!

The VX110's:

The PWC's are currently going through our repair shop.

You are responsible for any damage you do to them just as you would with your own ski.

One of the great thing about the MH300 is that the track is HUGE - we didn't see a single scratch after the 2008 event

This is one of the reasons why we decided to do it again.

Mechanical:

The pumps have been through our workshop.

Props have been repaired and trued so they're all in good condition.

We'll also be GPSing each watercraft to make sure they're all of similar speed.

Oil changes have been done.

The engines are bulletproof on these things.

Mechanical issues are solely our responsibility.

For instance, if your engine blows up during the race it wont cost you a cent!

I'm sure there are things I've forgotten to mention here.

Any questions contact Craig.

Look forward to seeing you all on the start line.
