13, 2005 – Nashville Shores, Nashville TN – The 2005 APBA National Championships held at the Nashville
Shores Water Park brought thousands of spectators
this weekend along with some of the biggest names in
PWC racing. With over 350 entries, this year’s
national event has been said to be one of the
largest in history. PWC racing action is back and
here to stay, this is a clear indicator of what is
to come this year at the 2005 IJSBA world finals in
Lake Havasu City Arizona.
Racers
from all over the US and Canada battled for national
titles against some of the fastest watercrafts on
the water today. From start to finish, each race
was action packed with passing and rubbing into the
first turn.
One of
the biggest classes on the water was Novice Runabout
1200 Limited. These watercrafts hit speeds of over
70 plus miles per hour. Freddy Vaca from Dallas
Texas, coming back from a dead motor start in moto
two, fought his way back up front to pull of another
national championship finishing 3rd
overall. Going into the world finals with a
national win, Vaca looks to be a top contender at
this years 2005 World Finals. Kenny Sims, manager
and chief mechanic says “Freddy has come along way
given this is his second year of racing, he has
overcome some major obstacles, he is trying to get
used to riding a boat with more power then he is
used to. He is also competing again experts and
pros this year which will make him a better rider.
He will be ready for Havasu this year, his
aggressive attitude and style will get him out
front”. Jeff Wright, Vaca’s team mate also brought
home another national championship finishing 3rd
in Pro-Am Ski Stock.
