CHESTERFIELD TWP., MI. - Start you engines and get ready to catch the excitement of personal watercraft racing action as the 2008 Monster Energy Midwest Watercross Tour, presented by Sea-Doo, heads to Walled Lake, Michigan, for the 1st Annual Walled Lake Watercross Shootout personal watercraft race.
For the first time, Walled Lake will host a tour stop on the Monster Energy Tour. This year Walled Lake will host the first event of the season that will be a National and World Championship qualifying event. The top watercraft racers from the Midwest and Canada are expected to descend on Walled Lake for the competition. The event takes place on Walled Lake in front of the Bayside Sports Bar and Grille and the Walled Lake Mercer beach.
Personal watercraft racing is a tough, competitive and increasingly popular sport. Often described as “moto-cross racing on the water”, these exciting events pit up to 18 racers against each other on a racetrack of tight turns and straight-aways. In some classes, racers must also negotiate obstacles and log jumps on the racecourse. A rubber band starting system is used to control the start of each race.
