Thanks again to all of you for a great night.

Jim Lambert
DJSA

On the serie’s smallest race course -
With only a 4-hour window to race in -
and in front of a whole lotta spectators -
You guys didn’t just bring the heat to Suisun for Hot August Nights -
You set that place on fire!!!

My sincere thanks to an incredible staff, a one in a million race announcer, and to 44 of the most talented pwc racers the West Coast has ever seen… 4 words for you about race 7… I’ll never forget it!

First the thanks – then the results and point standings…

Course set up -
John Bonkowski, John Dewar, Robby Hall, Derrick Kemnitz, and everyone else who pitched in when I was running late. Matt Saale for helping me pull all those buoys at the end of the night.
Dave Cottle Sr for managing the light towers and handleing anything else I forget to do!

Team Orange -
It was a stressful, busy, intense, hectic, off the hook night ever since the first heat – but you all made it look like a simple walk in the park. I can never express to you just how proud you make me when I watch you guys work as a team on the water, but I hope you know how much I, and every DJSA racer on the water appreciates you being there…

Team leader – John Bonkowski
Asst team leader – Robby Hall
Stan Schrock
Raul Guiterez
If this isn’t one of the best water rescue teams in pwc racing today, I don’t know who is!

Scoring and Registration -
Doreen Knollenberg
Nicole Lambert
Stephanie Beltram
Mandy Guiterez
(and some back up help from Caley and Danielle)
We were on a tight schedule but just like team orange – you were all “on it” all night long and I thank you to no end for all you do. The scoring sheets were flawless and that says 4 words about your professionalism and accuracy – you girls friggin rock

Photography and Video -
Traci Cottle
Taunia Kemnitz
Rick Ignacio

Heres 3 words for you – I’m in shock! Traci, how does someone take so many incredible shots, and then get them posted the very next day? These are some of the most incredible action shots I have ever seen and that one of Wattier half buried in the water, or Ian Roberts ripping around that yellow buoy – sweet Jesus I’m smiling like a little kid at Christmas!!!!!

Announcing -
The one and only voice of pwc racing as we know it – Mr. Kurt Knollenberg.
I receive many calls and emails complimenting DJSA races, and they all include comments on the same thing… The excitement, passion, and enthusiasm that a certain individual brings to the races lap after lap. Kurt, I can’t even get started right now otherwise I will never get around to posting the results – but one of the luckiest days of my life will always be when we were all at the Sacramento boat show – and I met Robby Hall who made me call you… (Robby, I owe you.) Kurt – you’re amazing!!!

Here’s one of countless comments from the Suisun race from the Suisun City Staff – “Your announcer is amazing. We were going to leave around 6, but the racing was so good, and Kurt made it so interesting, we stayed until after the last race!”

I have a very long list of favorable comments to present to Kurt, but there is no disputing the fact that not only is he one of the nicest guys in the world I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing – he also has a gift and he uses it well. Kurt is by far one of the best race announcers I have ever heard. His passion for this sport and what he has done for DJSA has definitely pushed us a few rungs up the ladder, and for that I will always be indebted to him. My sincere thanks to my favorite “A Noun_Sir”

Other very cool people I can never thank enough –
The Ski Clinic of Antioch
Performance Marine of Oakley
The city of Suisun City
Anita, and the city council of Suisun City
California Marine Sports of Suisun
Suisun City Fire Department for 2 very impressive 4 minute responses to the race site
Sgt Bob Szmurlo of the Suisun City marine patrol
Harbormaster Gus from the City Marina
Captain Dan from California Sunset charters
Chris from the city staff
The US Coast Guard
Go Kart racer of Burlingame
Sun State Rentals
Muscle Milk…
And 44 of the most impressive northern California pwc racers I’ve ever had the pleasure of watching. It was an amazing night, and I sincerely thank everyone who helped make it happen.

The complete final results can be viewed on the course racing page, but here is the short version of results…
