WATERTOP COMPLETES 2008 BIMINI ROAD RALLY WITH FULL FIELD OF ENTHUSIASTIC E-VENTURISTS Riva Racing HydroDrag Fall Nationals Next on WaterTop Event Grid Melbourne, FL – July 14, 2008 – WaterTop Unlimited® recently completed the company’s exclusive, all-inclusive Bimini Road Rally e-venture with a full field of participants. PWC enthusiasts from nine states participated in the one-of-a-kind PWC adventure, riding from North Miami Beach across the Gulf Stream to the Bahamian islands of Bimini. The 2008 Bimini Road Rally included a full field of 20 PWC riders and eight Formula Boat owners and crew. The four-day/four-night e-venture (WaterTop calls the project part event, all adventure) was supported by Sea-Doo® and Formula Boats and takes participants into the heart of the Bermuda triangle calling Bimini Sands Resort and Marina base camp for the trip. Mixed in with the fun of exploring the islands was the Bermuda Triangle Poker Run, a low key tour of the area points of interest with stops at the famed sunken concrete ship, the Sapona, plane crashes in shallow water, lunch on North Bimini, and trip to the legendary Bimini Road, or fabled lost road to Atlantis. Commercial helicopter pilot Jean Paul Robinson of Miami took the Bermuda Triangle Poker Run pot with a best hand of three-aces. Steve Reech of Maryland was runner up with three-queens, and taking third was David Kirkpatrick of Pensacola with three eights.

The Fall HydroDrag event follows the success of the inaugural Spring National event and returns to the famous C-54 canal – the Bonneville salt flats of waterways) in Fellsmere, Florida. Various classes of PWC include; Hydro Stock, Hydro Vintage, Hydro Limited, and Hydro Unlimited and pits two racers head-to-head in a 1/8 mile drag race. The HydroDrag event utilizes a unique starting gate system called the “Launch Pad” that holds watercraft in place on a bunk system then lowers both PWC upon the start simultaneously with an explosion of water behind them from the Launch Pad Pump Spout. The HydroDrags will be complimented by the Route 1 Motorsports PWC Poker Run in Sebastian, FL on Sunday, November 16, 2008. The Route 1 Motorsports Poker Run will feature a 40-mile Poker Run on the Indian River and will offer a host of prizes and 2009 watercraft demos. |
