MacClugage and Yamaha FZR™ Sweeping APBA Watercraft Tour

New Yamaha FZR WaveRunner® Wins First Four Rounds of Pro Watercraft Racing Tour

LAKE ELSINORE, CA - Aboard his Yamaha FZR™, Chris MacClugage is dominating the Pro-Am Runabout Stock class on the APBA® Hydro-Turf National Tour, sweeping the first four rounds this season held in Parker, AZ May 2-3 and Lake Elsinore, CA, May 9-10.

MacClugage has won every Pro-Am Runabout Stock Class moto this season, leading every race from the starting gun to the finish line.

Winning the first races of the year is particularly important as they point to the future potential for the new Yamaha FZR on the closed course, especially as it outperformed competitive boats that have been wrenched on and raced for years.

“We’ve dreamed about the potential for this boat since we first heard rumblings about its creation,” MacClugage said after the wins. “To come out here these past two weeks, and hold the lead against these legacy PWC shows we’re on to something. Macc Racing has just started to crack the potential for this engine and hull.”

“Stock class boats are the closest to production specs that are raced and the inherent platform capabilities of the FZR made it our clear choice for the stock class,” said Bill Chapin of R&D Performance Products. “The results of this race confirm what we knew all along - that the FZR is the most competitive stock class model to date.”
