2010 Watercross season to kick off May 1

Hydro-Turf APBA Watercross National Tour to visit six cities

The American Power Boat Association (APBA) has announced the return of the U.S. National Tour for Watercross Racing. The 2010 HYDRO-TURF APBA Watercross National Tour, Presented by Yamaha with Supporting Tour sponsor Sea-Doo, features a six-event, 11-round series that will determine the U.S. National Tour Champions in eleven Pro-Am and Expert racing classes including Women’s classes. The 2010 series will consist of five double rounds events spread throughout the United States, plus the HYDRO-TURF APBA Watercross Nationals in Nashville, Tennessee, which will counted as a double points round, as the final stop.

The 2010 HYDRO-TURF APBA Watercross National Tour will kick off the season with the first two rounds of competition at the beautiful Bluewater Resort & Casino in Parker, Ariz. on May 1 and 2, 2010. This is the only National closed course race to take place on the West Coast in 2010. The Bluewater Resort and Casino, which is the host and the Title sponsor for the Parker event, will see some of the best closed course racers and teams from around the United States converge to begin the chase for the coveted 2010 APBA Watercross National Tour Championships. The challenging rough waters of the Colorado River can give even the most seasoned veteran a run for his or her money.

The action both on and off the water is going to be intense with all riders vying for victory and their share of prize money. In addition to event prize money, Supporting sponsor Sea-Doo has posted an impressive contingency program for the racers. Each round will be filmed and a half hour show from each round will air on three different cable networks. Stay tuned for the dates and times.

The Tour also makes stops in Myrtle Beach, SC; Harbor Beach, Mich.; Belle River, Canada and Colonial Beach, Va. before making the final stop in Nashville, Tenn. for the season ending APBA Watercross Nationals.
