From Thursday 4 of August one began to see activity near soothes official, the Club of Bacalar Candle. Under an enormous carp, the zone of pits was installed in which the coexistence between the members of equipment of all the country was of frank camaraderie, mutual support and fierce competition. Whereas the technicians prepared the last details, they were arriving representing from important regional and national mass media. Among them, cameras and microphones of Discovery Channel, Sipse Group, MVS Multivisión, the Sport program Alive, Final and Television Score that they have authenticated with this event, its commitment to spread one of the more spectacular extreme sports of the moment.

Friday, propellers and turbines began to give to samples of their power and speed during the practices, later to attend the meeting of registry and cocktail of welcome that offered in the Hotel Grand Marlon de Chetumal where they stayed the majority of the participants

Early in the morning of Saturday everything was ready. In the zone of pits, the fusion of the nervousness and stress, with the taste to compete filled the atmosphere. Medical examinations, meeting of pilots, propellant charge and finally the green flag that indicated the beginning of a route of than 180 kilometers starting off more from the Club of Bacalar Candle to the town of Boats and return. The boats faced low and superficial stones of the Matting of Chac and the curved pronounced ones of the Hondo river.

Pits got dressed rose in the formal appearance like Level navigator of the pretty Marisol Lezama, now well-known like " Penelope Glamour". Being Level daughter of Jorge Perez and Belgica also brother of Neat Jorge Lezama, evidently take the taste by the speedboat racing in the blood.

Sunday, Between the strong rain and fog the races of circuit in two blocks were carried out, first for the boats of outside hut and the second for the turbines.
Six laps that added approximately 50 kilometers of practically pure speed. Before a great amount of spectators, the event was very exciting and without accidents that to be sorry.

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.
