Thanks for your interest in the south of the border racing.
The last race of the 2011 Racing Season was held in the State of Mexico, at Acambay, a beautiful damn surrounded by mountains at a height of 2,540meters (8,333 feet) so it was quite above sea level, we prepared for it and had a great outcome of the first heat of the race, we took 1rst in the 2.0Lts divisio but we could'nt keep racing because I hit an underwater wall which destroyed the lower unit and the housing :(
what a shame more than 2000km or more just to race just one heat, out of 5...
more than 8 outboards suffered the same consequence...
Anyway, that's what Racing is all about, a thousand ways to loose a race, just one to win it.
Nonetheless with the percentage of the year we took
3rd Place in the National Endurance Championship
&
1rst in the River National Championship.
Here are some videos of the race.

1.- GP of Tlacotalpan, 4 & 5th of February.
The National Championship of “SUPERLANCHAS” 2012 will start in this magnificent place. The beautiful city of Tlacotalpan, Veracruz, will be the stage for the first 2 events of the year for the specialties of Enduros and River Marathon. For the fist time the powerful Outboard and Inboard powerboats, turbine engines that jettison a water splash up to 100 meters wide, the T1 capsule boats, and the fastest Mod Vp outboard powerboats of Mexico that have been present in a regular basis.
After a quite intense 2011 season, this year we offer the same intensity of adrenaline, intense duels, high speed and lots of fun for the local public and to the tourism that will attend to visit this important event.
The entire 2012 SUPERLANCHAS season is valid for the Federación Mexicana de Motonáuticas, A.C. and to the Unión Internacional de Motonáutica.
There is a estimate record of competitive participation for this event, pilots coming from all around Mexico, including National Champions and International Champions.
The team to beat, is the local team, they count with excellent pilots and the home team advantage of the Veracruz area people.
Stay tuned so you can get to know the pilots and teams of the SUPERLANCHAS.
