Mark Hahn Memorial 300 Miles Lake Havasu 2017
2nd place for David Chassier and Jeremy Poret
Sunday, February 12th 2017
Here is a little reminder for newbies, the
Mark Hahn Memorial 300 miles of Lake Havasu City
is the longest Jet Ski race in continue of the world. It has been organized since 13 years by
Mike Folmer in memory of his good friend Mark Hahn, former Jet Ski pilot, who told him one day his favorite race was the Havasu 300 miles.
Race format of the
Mark Hahn Memorial consist to be the first to do 30 laps of 10 miles on a 4 waypoints course until it ads up to 300 miles (483 km)
. The start is

Le Mans
" style at the gun sound. This year 36

For his fourth time on the 300 miles (2013 - 3rd / 2014 - DNF / 2015 - 3rd), David Chassier, from Blois, formed a duo Jérémy Poret, from Lyon, on a Kawasaki Ultra310 prepared by the Team Pastorello Competition. Poret took a great start but was rapidly reached by faster PWC like the duo formed by Cyrille Lemoine / Nicolas Rius for Team Riva Racing Yamaha who passed the control tower in first. The race strategy of Chassier / Poret, who passed 6th on the first lap, was to bet on reliability of the Kawasaki and to hold physically for the 6 hours of race.
