IJSBA has received the first set of race results for 2026.  The season is officially underway and the following is the East Coast Watercross report of what happened February 20-22 at Lake Alfred, Florida:

 

The first races of the 2026 season went off without a hitch this past weekend in the historic race venue host city of Lake Alfred Florida, with a storied past of decades of racing at the Lake Alfred Lions Club the race site is perfect for what we do on all levels! the weather played nicely for friday practice and saturdays racing, the winds and rain whipped up a bit on sunday and made for rough conditions on what was easily the largest track in regional racing history, with a start straight that seemingly went on for miles it was a true test of racers equipment to start the season of. We had racers from Brazil, Cayman Islands and all across the US come out to battle it out in the sunshine state. The stand out classes were Pro Am runabout stock and Pro am Ski GP with 8 very capable racers in runabout and 11 in Ski GP with the likes of Landis, Prado, medlin, Fabro, Parker, and Cabrera putting on a show! We re rack it all over again this coming weekend at the same site, kicking off with a friday practice and pit party at the lions club, and then round 3 and 4 of the winter series will wrap up the series with combined championship points being tallied and large two layered trophies made by Trophy Extreme will be handed out sunday evening. 

The best part of the weekend was the unveiling of the new GPS based transponder and Live Time Scoring system where we were able to work out some kinks in the process and software and ultimately by sunday we had a GPS transponder on every single boat, we tracked and recorded every single lap of sunday! we were able to see live lap times and racers could pull up the website on their phones to keep up with live scoring. We integrated the live map with racers going around the track into our Charles Guinchard Live Stream to really keep the audience captivated! 

 

We hope you all come out and join us in lake Alfred Florida this coming weekend and then we will be shipping off to Orange Texas for the opening round of the IJSBA Pro Watercross "The Road To Havasu Tour" along side Nauti Water Racing and Dales Jet Sport Outlaw WaterX series March 5-7.
