X-TEAM TUESDAY – The IJSBA NATIONAL TOUR RESUMES WITH FINAL TWO STOPS

Posted on August 7, 2012

by OnBoard Editor

The 2012 Hydro-Turf National Watercross tour resumes action after a three week break and visits the Southeast with the fifth stop taking place in Lake Hartwell, Georgia this weekend August 11-12 before culminating in Charleston, West Virginia for the National Championship final event August 17-18.

The Triple Crown of Watercross is this coming weekend to beautiful Lake Hartwell at Tugaloo State Park in Lavonia, GA and the local community is laying out the red carpet for the Sea-Doo X-TEAM racers. The weekend will start with an invitation from the people of Lavonia to enjoy live music on Friday Night at Lavonia’s town square gazebo from 7pm-9pm. All the downtown restaurants will be open for fans to enjoy the local cuisine.

The Sea-Doo X-TEAM comes to Lake Hartwell with an overwhelming amount of momentum as RIVA/Neptune Racing rider Troy Snyder looks to extend his overall PRO Stock points lead on his Snyder Built backed Sea-Doo RXP-X.

“I have been training hard to be able to squeeze all of the speed out of my (Sea-Doo) RXP-X that it has, and it has a lot,” said Snyder. “The RXP-X is the best production watercraft for racing ever built and am ready to ride it for all it’s worth to win this championship.”

Snyder carries momentum from the previous stop in Reno with a overall win as does Champion Powersports of Lake Norman’s Brian Baldwin after taking his first PRO Open win aboard his privateer RXP-X effort.

Brian Baldwin Pro Open Winner carries Momentum.

OnBoard stopped by Baldwin’s shop in North Carolina on Monday and he said he was ready to go. “I am in great shape and can’t wait to get on the track,” said Baldwin. “After that first win, i didn’t want to have that big of a break, i just want to keep (the winning) going. The RXP-X is the best watercraft I have ever ridden and I am ready to keep it going!”

On Saturday evening, Watercraft riders of Hartwell, GA will be hosting the Athlete’s Party with some southern BBQ; this is free to all competitors and just $8 for friends, families and pit crews!

Event online registration is open until Thursday 9PM, event check in/registration will be on Friday onsite from 1-5 PM and check in and late registration is onsite on Saturday 6:45 – 8:00 AM.

X-TEAM TUESDAY – SNYDER AND BALDWIN GIVE SEA-DOO 1-1 WIN IN PRO STOCK AND PRO OPEN AT VIRGINIA NATIONAL

Posted on July 24, 2012

by OnBoard Editor

Racers Troy Snyder and Brian Baldwin gave the Sea-Doo X-TEAM the first double win of the season in the premier PRO Stock and PRO Open classes on their respective Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft.

The two privateers were not alone on the podium following the IJSBA Virginia National racing event as fellow X-TEAM racers Erminio Iantosca took the second position in Pro Stock aboard his RIVA Racing backed Sea-Doo RXP-X.  For the first time during the 2012 IJSBA National Racing Tour two riders from the same manufacturer finished 1-1 in these hotly contested classes.

Snyder overcame a start/stop button setback in moto one to win motos two and three to take his second overall win of the season on his Neptune Racing prepared RIVA backed Sea-Doo RXP-X. Snyder now leads the overall championship points race after five rounds of the seven event series.

“I have to give special thanks to my tuner Bo Dupriest, Tim Judge, RIVA, and my strength coach Jimmy Stratton for preparing me for this weekend,” said Snyder following his win. “I am getting faster every week on my Sea-Doo RXP-X and we are in a good position to win this PRO Stock Championship!”

 

Baldwin in the X-TEAM Pit after his PRO OPEN win

North Carolina’s Brian Baldwin claimed his first PRO Open win of the season, besting the competitive OEM factory supported riders aboard his Champion Powersports backed Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft. Baldwin finished 1-4-2 in his three motos that proved to be the most consistent of the weekend and earning him the overall PRO Open win. Baldwin looks to have fully adjusted to the new Sea-Doo RXP-X and will be a threat for the podiums top spot for the remaining race events of the season.

Both riders qualified for the Sea-Doo Bounty racer contingency program as Snyder earned an extra $500 from BRP and Baldwin earned an extra $600 from the ONLY racer contingency program in the industry.

Both riders will be featured guests on the Liquidspeedradio.com on-line radio show with host Brian Smith Tuesday night, July 24, 2012 during the Sea-Doo X-TEAM Hour starting at 8 PM EST. Both riders will discuss their weekend wins and what it takes to finish in first aboard their Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft.

X-TEAM TUESDAY: Chris MacClugage Behind the Scenes IJSBA Tour, Reno

Posted on July 10, 2012

by OnBoard Editor

Chris MacClugage is one of the few people in the world that has made their career riding personal watercraft and is for the first time in his 20+ year professional riding career competing on Sea-Doo watercraft. Fans can keep up with Chris’ life here at OnBoard. The latest entry is MacClugage’s perspective on his experiences at the forth round of the 2012 IJSBA National Watercraft Racing Tour in Reno, Nevada. Read on to learn the behind the scenes scoop from one of the all-time greatest watercraft racers in history.

After returning from Racine, Wisconsin and a great weekend of racing at the third round of the IJSBA National Tour is was time to head back to the MACC

CHRIS MacCLUGAGE

Racing headquarters in Lake Havasu. Once back in Arizona, the trailer was unloaded and Daniel, our driver, took a well deserved day off. But, we still had plenty of work to do for the next round in Reno taking place in a couple of weeks.

Back to work Daniel focused on prepping the RXP-X’s for the race. We discovered a few changes we wanted to make with our main boat, which steered us to use our test boat as a back up.

For myself there was no rest. I had a training camp set up for one of my friends/riders Ryan Decker. He is a great up and coming rider who has a great attitude and will to do what it takes to win. 
I had already had a program written out for the next four days. Training very hard in the mornings and riding in the afternoon. All went well and Ryan got a good taste of what he needs to do to take his riding to the next level. Saturday and Sunday we were joined by Oceane and Mealle Villon. They are two up & coming French girls that live in USA. All of us had a great time riding and learning.

Tuesday the 24th was loading day for the trailer. We were planning on leaving early Wednesday morning, so, our plan was to start loading on Tuesday afternoon. I needed a couple things done to the trailer and brought it to my friends shop. We later discovered it had a problem! This is part of traveling the race circuit. There was no time to fix the trailer, so plan B went into effect. I broke out the custom three-place trailer which worked perfect for my two RXPXs and one stand-up.

Wednesday morning came quick and all the watercraft were ready. I had to do a few maintenance things to the open trailer, and then we were loaded and underway by 1pm. With Rachel (wife)/Mac(son)/Dan/Christophe/Tom and myself packed in the truck, it was road trip time, with lots of laughs & cans of Monster to keep us awake on the 10 hour journey to Reno.

Our route took up through Nevada on the highway 95. We passed by several old mining towns and a lot of businesses that had the oldest profession known! With good conversation and plenty of laughter, along with a couple of diaper changes we finally arrived in Sparks at 11:30pm

I woke and ran around the lake in Reno on Thursday morning pushing little Mac in his BOB stroller. The altitude was 4500 feet, which didn’t seem to affect me at all. But, it was another story for the watercraft!

We first did a compression check on the stand up and discovered we were 25 psi off our ‘norm’. With some carb adjustments, new head domes from ADA and a few bends to the prop, we had ski ready to hit the pay window!

The RXP-X was not as easy. With several prop re pitches and tune files, we were ready to race. I was 100% happy with the high-altitude performance but my guys worked very hard and that’s all I can ask for.

Saturday came, as I awoke next to my two inspirations, I knew I had races to win ! I had my Ryno power protein shake and was down at site by 7 AM. 
A great friend of mine Erminio Iantosca, let us store our watercraft in his trailer, after unloading everything I decided to go on a run around lake (2.5 miles) to get loosened up for the day.

Practice went well for ski and runabout.

First race was ski, and I was ready. I grabbed a Monster hole shot and never looked back. By the time the race was over, I was 3/4 of a lap ahead of second. It was great to weld the factory boat off the line all weekend. Christophe did such a great job at tuning the Monster/Macc ski. It seemed like we were 3-4 miles per hour faster than the other skis. We went on to hole shot and win the next two motos.

Runabout class was not as great. I jumped the first start, meaning I had to start with the engine off putting me a big disadvantage and ended up with a 3rd. In the second moto I ended up 3rd. In the final moto I was running in third and trying to pass for second and simply made a mistake and came off the machine. I was pushing very hard and it was a tough track to pass on. I went away with a 4th for the weekend, but at least a Sea-Doo X-TEAM rider won. Congrats to Troy Synder for winning and beating the “FACTORY” competition.

Overall it was a great weekend. I won Pro ski and got to be with my wife and son on the podium. Which I missed during fathers day. We had a great dinner later that night with great friends.

Lil' Mac

On our way home we stopped in Vegas where Rachel, Mac, and I were dropped off at the Aria. Mac needs some bigger clothes and mommy needs a new purse. So, now I sit in my hotel room drinking a Monster looking out onto the strip and all the people, resembling ants at this floor, running around for fun and fortune.

The next race for us will be in Russia for the World offshore championship. We are focusing on training and work. Laguna Seca is at the end of July for the Moto GP. We will be hoping for rain! Go Vale…..
Before the October world Finals we are taking a break to visit England and Rachel’s family . Busy, busy in the Macclugage household !!

SEA-DOO X-TEAM RIDER, TROY SNYDER, WINS PRO STOCK OVERALL IN RENO

Posted on July 3, 2012

by OnBoard Editor

RENO, NEVADA, USA – BRP continues to prove the new Sea-Doo RXP-X is the ultimate, “off the showroom floor” high-performance watercraft with X-TEAM racer Sea-Doo Troy Snyder claiming the overall win in the highly competitive Pro Stock class during the Reno, Nevada round of the IJSBA National Tour on his Sea-Doo RXP-X

Snyder of Bradenton, Florida claimed his first overall Pro Stock win of the season aboard his Snyder Built/Neptune Racing Sea-Doo RXP-X and is now the overall championship points leader after four of the seven round 2012 series.

“This win means so much to me and my team,” said an exuberant Snyder. “I have worked really hard to be in top shape and Neptune Sea-Doo RXP-X ran incredibly strong in this 5000 foot altitude.  Bo Dupriest (tuner) did a great job dialing the RXP-X in for this altitude.  Switching over to the RXP-X was a good move and we are looking to carry this momentum  through the rest of the season.”

Snyder follows fellow RXP-X mounted Chris MacClugage for season wins in Pro Stock and looks to build on that total at the next three rounds taking place in: Colonial Beach, VA, Lake Hartwell, Georgia, and the Governor’s Cup Final in Charleston, West Virginia.

Sea-Doo X-TEAM rider Claude Clayton finished on the podium in PRO OPEN on his Judge Motorsports Sea-Doo RXP-X as he and Brian Baldwin continue to battle to fill the podium in that class.

SEA-DOO X-TEAM FINISHES 1-2-3 ON RXP-X WATERCRAFT AT ROUND THREE OF IJSBA NATIONAL TOUR – MacCLUGAGE WINS

Posted on June 19, 2012

by OnBoard Editor

PRO STOCK WINNER CHRIS MacCLUGAGE

The Sea-Doo X-TEAM sweeps the PRO STOCK podium at the third round of the IJSBA National watercraft racing tour with MACC Racing’s Chris MacClugage claiming another overall win in Racine, Wisconsin on his MONSTER ENERGY/RIVA Racing Sea-Doo RXP-X.

“The RXP-X is so much fun to race,” said MacClugage.  ”It reminds me of racing sport (class) early in my career when I had the most fun racing. The fact they came in 1-2-3 shows how good this watercraft is.”

Racers aboard the new Sea-Doo RXP-X finished 1-2-3 in the highly competitive Pro Stock class as Snyder Built/Riva Racing Racing backed Troy Snyder and the RIVA Racing/Red Bull RXP-X of Erminio Iantosca filled the second and third spots on the podium behind MacClugage. All three racers are utilizing the same Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft* that musclecraft enthusiasts can purchase directly from an authorized BRP/Sea-Doo watercraft dealer today. MacClugage continues to show how the new RXP-X T3 hull’s tight-turning capabilities allow him to run tighter and faster lap times than ever before.

Further proving the off the floor racing capabilities of Sea-Doo watercraft, Georgia’s Jeff Dyckowski and Florida’s Brent Venderley won the Expert Stock and Novice Stock respectively.

X TEAM TUESDAY PROFILE: PWC Racer Erminio Iantosca

Posted on June 12, 2012

by Sea-Doo

 

NAME: Erminio Iantosca

SPORT:  PWC Racing

AGE:  31 years old

PORT: Naples, Florida

 

 

 

 

Erminio Iantosca is only in the dawn of his 30s but he is a long time veteran of the sport of personal watercraft and chases his passion with the full support of his family. Iantosca has been racing watercraft for over half of his life and has ridden nearly every style and brand of watercraft before making the switch to Sea-Doo last year.  Erminio is well know for running one of the most professional teams among all North American efforts and now flies the Sea-Doo X-TEAM flag proudly.

Honing his riding skills on the gulf waters of South-West Florida, Iantosca is a perennial front runner in the PRO STOCK and PRO OPEN classes in a variety of bodies of water but the surf conditions are still his favorite. OnBoard caught up with Erminio after the first two rounds of the 2012 IJSBA National Tour to share what makes him tick and how he lives the Sea-Doo Life.

ONBOARD —Where did you grow up and how was your competitive spirit developed?

I grew up in Naples, Florida just north of the ten thousand island area, so there is a lot of water here.  Growing up, my dad always told me “If I was going to do anything, I better do it right,” and that gave me the drive and work ethic to pursue professional racing.

ONBOARD — What do you do away from the water to stay on the water? What’s your profession?

I try to mix up my athletic training by participating in everything from typical gym workouts to tennis. My family owns Mama Mia’s Pizzeria and my entire family grew up helping with the family business.

ONBOARD — How were you introduced to watersports?


When I was growing up my Dad got a stand- up (jet-ski) from one of his friends. I was too young to ride it, so he sold it to fellow Sea-Doo X-team racer Chris MacClugage’s dad, for Chris to ride. We knew Chris because my parents started Mama Mia’s Pizza next to a gas station that Chris’s dad owned. Our parents became and still are close friends. As a little kid I would always go to the races with Chris and that’s how I was initially introduced to Watercraft Racing.

ONBOARD — Since you began competing what are some of your accolades?


Two time Busch World Cup Champion, five time National Champion and one time World Champion.

ONBOARD — You have a family engrained in this sport, what are some of your family connections to the sport beyond yourself?


Well, besides me as the rider, I am blessed to have an enthusiastic family support system. First, my Dad, who is not only my mechanic, but the hardest working person I know. He is happy to put in endless hours working on my skis to make sure they perform at the highest level.
Then there is my brother, Joseph Iantosca, who is my “go-to” guy. He helps with everything from driving and traveling to races, getting the ski to the water, to holding my ski at the start. He also is responsible for filming all of my Go-Pro footage.
 Last but not least, my Mom and sister are always there for support and to cheer me on at all of the races. I couldn’t have done it all of these years without my mom who has been there through all of the highs and lows of racing. She also keeps us on time and well fed. My sister, Kristina Iantosca-Hodges, my family’s social butterfly, goes tent to tent keeping us updated on the lives of our tight-knit racing community. She is always there at the races to make sure we have everything that we need.
 Then there is my brother-in-law, Mike Hodges, with Riva Racing who helps me with any parts I need, any questions I may have, and even by being my second mechanic. He is always available to give me positive feedback and keep me focused on the end result.

ONBOARD — Your accomplishments riding watercraft have opened the doors for other action opportunities. What “extra” perks have you enjoyed from being a pro racer?


Because of the similarities between action sports I’ve been able to travel to amazing locations and meet other extraordinary athletes along the way. Thanks to Sea-Doo, I had the opportunity to teach NFL players how to ride watercraft in the Battle of the Gridiron competition. I had a minor part in a movie titled “Making Waves.” For the past few years, I have been invited to participate in a charity golf tournament benefitting Florida Gulf Coast University’s athletics with a variety of other athletes from various professional sports.

ONBOARD — Where is your favorite PWC race site?


Oceanside, California has the biggest surf conditions. I prefer to race in big surf conditions because it pushes all of the racers to compete at a higher level.

ONBOARD — What is it about PWC racing that keeps you coming back?

I enjoy the thrill of going fast on the water, pushing my body to its limits. I also appreciate the camaraderie that we all experience as the PWC racing family.

ONBOARD — What is your dream ride?


My dream ride would be to take a Sea-Doo watercraft around the islands of Fiji because of the beautiful water and scenic views.

ONBOARD — What is or has been YOUR favorite part of being part of the Sea-Doo X-TEAM?

My favorite part of being a Sea-Doo X-team rider is racing for a company as friendly, helpful and intelligent as BRP.

ONBOARD — What are you racing right now and what are looking forward to and who is supporting your 2012 efforts?

I am currently racing the new Sea-Doo RXP-X, and looking forward to racing to the best of my ability and representing Sea-Doo and BRP to the fullest. This couldn’t be achieved without Riva Racing, WRT, Hydro-turf, Jet Pilot, Craig Construction, Skat-Trak, Spy, DC Shoes, and Redbull.

BRP thanks Erminio for his time and passion for the sport.

SEA-DOO X-TEAM CLAIMS PRESTIGIOUS PRO STOCK WIN WITH CHRIS MacCLUGAGE DOMINATING ON SEA-DOO RXP-X AT IJSBA OPENER

Posted on May 22, 2012

by OnBoard Editor

Panama City, Florida USA – The Sea-Doo X-TEAM racing season started off with a historical win as Chris MacClugage showed his move to the new Sea-Doo RXP-X was the right one as he dominated the highly competitive PRO Stock Class, winning all three motos.

The first round of the 2012 IJSBA National Racing Tour opened the national championship chase on Florida’s Emerald Coast in Panama City playing host to the best watercraft racers in North America. This was MacClugage’s homecoming as the native Floridian, now residing in Lake Havasu, Arizona, made his legend riding in the Florida surf and did so brilliantly aboard his MACC Racing/Monster Energy Sea-Doo RXP-X watercraft.

“My Sea-Doo RXP-X is really fun to ride in the surf,” said an elated MacClugage after his moto hat trick. “It is so much easier to go fast on the RXP-X compared to what I used to ride; the hull is so good and the power is perfectly matched with the handling. I had a really good time racing out there today.”

Although only available for a few months, the runabout class starting lines gave a glimpse that the new Sea-Doo RXP-X with T3 hull and ErgoLock system will be the new standard in watercraft racing for all levels. This RXP-X watercraft raced by MacClugage is the same watercraft any musclecraft enthusiast can purchase today from any of the 1500 BRP/Sea-Doo dealers across North America.

The next round of the BRP/Sea-Doo supported HydroTurf IJSBA National Tour will be this weekend, May 26-27 in Montgomery, Alabama.

X TEAM TUESDAY: The FULL SPEED LIFE of Chris MacClugage

Posted on May 15, 2012

by Sea-Doo

Little Mac provides Chris MacClugage new inspiration.

Chris MacClugage has made his living racing personal watercraft since the age of 14 so this year is the same but different. He is still racing but for the first time he is riding something he truly feels fits him. He is riding a Sea-Doo for the first time in his Hall of Fame career not because BRP bought his services  but because he did not want to compete again the new Sea-Doo RXP-X, he feels it is that good. At the age of 37, his life continues to be in constant change, as in changing the diapers of his four-month old son, little Mac. No, he is a father but Chris did take a few moments to jot down some of his recent happenings as he gets ready for the 2012 season. 

 

The MACC Racing Update;

What have I been up to? Lil’ Mac, racing, training, product development….we have been very busy these past few months. Lil’ Mac is growing up quick and is such a beautiful boy—we are so thankful for him!

Our MACC Racing Sea-Doo watercraft racing sponsons finally made it to the market for 2012 models. We have worked hard to develop this high quality design that offers performance enthusiasts more adjustability for better customized handling and they are made in the USA.  The select, elite riders who have tried them loves them!

ProRider Magazine ace Photographer, Ronny Mac came out to Lake Havasu City where our shop is based at the end of March for a Pro Rider Magazine photo shoot with me on my new RXP-X. He took some product photos for us and a lot of photos for the Pro Rider Magazine.  I am very excited and proud that I will be featured on the cover of Pro Rider on my Monster/Macc Racing /Riva/RXP-X.  It’s an honor to have this type of following and the magazine really gives fans a great look into the enthusiasts portion of the sport and gives me a nice boost of energy to start off the racing season.

We have been working closely with BRP for the perfect handling set-up and Pete from MoTec ignitions to come up with a great spec calibration for my modified Race set up on my Sea-Doo RXP-X 260. My RXP-X is really good out of the box and we have complimented it by equipping it with a combination of great after market parts to take it to the highest caliber to win championships. Most of the parts are from Riva Racing, as they have always supported me and build great aftermarket parts along with our own Macc Racing, parts made for anybody who wants a little more from their watercraft. I know this is going to be a great combination for the season. Glen Perry, the chief technician at Skat Trak impellers has been bending some props for us, that are really putting the 4-TEC power to the water for my style!

Last weekend, I raced my first ever closed course race on a Sea Doo watercraft at a local race in Parker, Arizona. With our results from testing and practice sessions I am fully confident that I am going to have a great season.

I will keep you all posted on the season.

Thank you to all my sponsors for supporting me for the 2012 race season:
