The WaveRunner Performance Centre Racing Team has proved its racing performance yet again at rounds 3 & 4 of the Yamaha Australian JetCross Championships last weekend, winning both Pro-Stock class races and snapping up numerous trophies in the other classes.

• Dominating the Pro-Stock Runabout Class, the Yamaha FZS SVHO ridden by #16 Mitch Wayt impressed all, taking the win in both race rounds. Teammate #71 Brett Douglas proved his pace on his 2014 FZS SVHO taking an impressive 4th place in round 3 and 3rd in round 4.
#476 Shane Stuart an 8-time Australian Jet-Cross Champion, switched from SeaDoo to a Yamaha FZS SVHO to make his 2015 racing debut for the Yamaha Racing Team on a FZS SVHO. Despite flying in from the USA on Saturday afternoon and consequently missing the round 3 race, and this being his first time racing at the helm of the FZS, Shane took a hotly contested 2nd place in Round 4 of the Pro-Stock Runabout; a sensational first-race result.

• The Yamaha FZS SVHO proved its pace again in the Pro-Stock Enduro Class, with #16 Mitch Wayt winning both races and #71 Brett Douglas earning 3rd place in both races.

• #17 James Rice battled hard for his podium finish in the Showroom-Stock Class, placing 3rd in both round 3 and 4 races. #93 Jacob Packer had a difficult weekend on his older model FZS SHO in the Showroom-Stock Class, placing 5th in round 3, and then failing to finish round 4.

• After suffering driveability issues on his highly-tuned FZS, #43 Matt Brunt took to the Pro-Open Class grid on a Pro-Stock tuned 2014 FZS SVHO. Despite the significant power disadvantage against the highly-modified competition, Matt Brunt was able to finish 5th in both rounds 3 and 4.

The WaveRunner Performance Centre Racing Team’s domination in Pro-Stock runabout and Pro-Stock Enduro earns them valuable points and further extends their lead in the 2015 Yamaha Australian JetCross Championship. With the team’s addition of 8-time Aussie Champion Shane Stewart at the helm of the 3rd FZS SVHO, the Team is in prime position to wrap up the season early in the upcoming rounds held in Sydney, NSW on 2-3rd of May, 2015.

Note – #476 Shane Stuart DNS Pro-Stock Runabout Round 3 due to commitments in the USA.
