Petenwell Lake will once again host some of the region's hottest PWC racers and the competition promises to be intense as the fight for rankings intensifies.
"This is a pivotal point race weekend for a lot of racers, so we're going to be seeing some tough competition out there," said event organizer Scott Hyke. "This is the chance to take back any of those points you missed out on early in the season, and for some of our racers that got a late start in the season, this is the perfect chance to work your way into an better points standing before we head into the final rounds of the season."
This Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 6-7, will be the final double-shot weekend for racers, and the scramble for points to accumulate toward the Season Championship will mean starting line to checkered flag battles in each class.
