Season Update
Well its August, the heart of the summer and when the snowmobile watercross season really picks up. We have had two races so far, both season openers for the EWA (Eastern Watercross Association) and the NYSWRA (New York State Watercross Racing Assoc.) respectively.
With Tim and Luke both riding their first full Pro seasons, making finals is the main goal and they sure accomplished that this past weekend at Flat Rock where both of them made the 600 Pro Oval Final on Sat. and Sun. With Team Highside representing 2 of 5 riders in the Main Event we are very satisfied. The entire class is fast and looking at the names and sleds that didn't make the Final because our riders are in the mix now puts everything in perspective.
Matt Schebaum's first full Semi-Pro season is off to a solid start but he'll admit there is more to do for sure. Making 3 of 4 finals at Darien Lake (EWA) and just missing them this past weekend at Flat Rock due to a combination of bad luck and some greedy decisions leaves him "more focused and hungry" to improve...
The next event is the second points race on the EWA Tour at Norwood, NY August 29-30 then back to Flat Rock in Lowville, NY September 12...Darien Lake, NY September 19-20...and the Eastern Championships in Fremont, NH October 12-14.
