Speed and Endurance
APBA Returns This Weekend
LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ - Are you ready? The 2006 Mark Hahn Memorial 300 Mile Endurance Race is set to launch this Saturday morning from Crazy Beach at Crazy Horse Campground in Lake Havasu. Almost 60 teams are set to compete in the harrowing event. They all want to break last year’s American Power Boat Association (APBA) Endurance Record of 5 Hours 13 Minutes to cover the 300 miles set at last year's event by Mike Follmer and Billy Womack aboard their R and D Yamaha GP 1300R.
DSM Events owner Jim Russell and Follmer are in charge of the race which features two for runabout (sit down) boat teams and up to three riders for a stand-up craft. Solo riders are also welcome to “Ironman” the race on either style of boat, a real test of endurance and stamina reserved for only the true endurance zealots.
Russell, a long time resident of Lake Havasu calls it “a world class event and he says it “will pit all the teams against the wind, rough water and long runs that this event has become synonymous with.” The teams also have to make fuel stops without spilling fuel and make rider changes several times during the race.
Follmer told TSN the race is named after Mark Hahn, who died during a jet ski event in Parker in 2004. Hahn was 53 when he died during race, collapsing from a heart attack and going full throttle into the beach. Follmer said winning the race last year, the first year of the memorial for his friend, “was like out of a movie script.” He and Womack are teaming up again this year, but he says the competition is intense. Spectators can watch the thrilling 300-miler atop a mountain at the campground.
By the way: interestingly, there are some women competing as well, including Kay Sykes and Andrea Ivanez. They compete on equal footing with their male counterparts.
Admission is $8 at the Crazy Horse Campgrounds on Saturday morning. An awards ceremony takes place at the London Bridge Resort that night.
