Colonial Beach: An Honest Community

Our Jettribe rig has traveled through many cities and towns on the IJSBA and APBA tour stops. We always try to spend and support the local businesses as much as we can. All of our tour truck maintenance and trailer work was done on the road at the cities that hosted the races. Just to give a little back to the local business.

For the Colonial Beach, VA tour stop was not different, we stopped at a local tire place and had our tires looked at. They looked worn uneven. I wanted to buy two new tires for the truck just to feel better on the long trek back to California. But the local tire shop owner insisted that our truck tires are still good and they only needed to be rotated. They rotated all the tires around plus the spare also for only 60 bucks! I still wanted to buy new tires from him but he said that these are good tires still. Honest folks like this are what make our trips across America memorable.

In Southern California, where Jettribe is based, the tire shop would tell us that we needed to replace all six of our tires on our dually!

Jettribe at Colonial Beach, VA

For the round 6 of the IJSBA National Tour stop the Jettribe crew always enjoy spending time in Colonial Beach, Virginia! It is a cool residential, small fishing village and sort of a resort town! It’s hard describe, but it has a warm quaint Cape Cod feel to it. The local hotels or motels were a little bit challenging, so the Jettribe crew, Derek Correll and family , Trey Frame Family and Raamracing family stayed at the Holiday Inn Express about 13 miles away. And we were glad we did.</photo>

The city of Colonial Beach could not have been any more accommodating. They blocked off the streets for us and provide able security at the site. The local radio station was pumping out play by play racing action all weekend long! It was awesome!

 As always AJ's crew did an awesome job of rolling out the red carpet for the Jettribe trailer when we rolled in. It was a tight pit and Jim went beyond the call of duty to move trailers so that we could squeeze into the prime spot! Our booth was located in the middle of all of the action.

The race action was also phenomenal as always.  Trey Frame took a 4th overall in Pro-Am Runabout Open and a 1st overall in Runabout N/A Spec. Trey’s brother Cameron took a 3rd overall in Pro-Am Runabout Stock. Rick Sherker took 2nd overall in Pro-Am Ski GP and 1st overall in Pro-Am Ski Stock Spec. And Alec Hohnadell took 7th overall in Pro-Am Ski GP, 3rd overall in Pro-Am Ski Stock Spec, and 1st overall in Expert Ski Limited.

The sport class once again was huge with almost 20 riders! This was one of the very few times that our Jettribe booth was next to the racers pits and it was cool to have Trey and his family next to our booth the entire weekend. Quality time well spent! Plus, we were able to meet Rick's Sherker’s mom and day. We at Jettribe enjoy not just getting to know our team riders but their families also. We think personal relationships go a long way.

We look forward to next year at Colonial Beach, Virginia again.

Keep Your Friends Close and Your Jettribe Gloves Closer!

When Pro rider Trey Frame requested another pair of Jettribe’s RS-15 gloves, Tony was surprised since these gloves typically last one hard riding season. Trey’s response: “The gloves are wearing good, but someone in Canada liked them so well they decided to take them. I guess they really liked your work!”

Maybe for 2012, we should put a warning label on our gloves: “These gloves are highly prone to getting snagged by others!”

Yamaha Sees 25 Podium Finishes at Belle River Stop on 2011 National PWC Racing Tour

BELLE RIVER, Ontario -- Yamaha racers invaded Belle River, Ontario on July16-17,

dominating the UWP-IJSBA Canadian Nationals with 25 podium finishes led by Macc

Racing/Riva Racing/Dean’s Team rider Chris MacClugage.

MacClugage continued his stranglehold on the Pro Runabout Stock class aboard his

Yamaha FZR. Macc has won nearly every moto in this premier class this season with just three rounds left in the season.

MacClugage wasn’t the only Yamaha FZR rider on a tear in Ontario with Jordan

McLean winning the Pro Runabout Limited class, finishing 2-1-2 for the day. McLean

has won every round this season with no signs of letting up. Joining McLean on the

podium was FZR rider Aero Aswar. Riva Racing/Dean’s Team rider Trey Frame

continued his breakout season finishing 1-2-2 in the Pro Runabout Open class aboard

his FZR for a second place finish overall.

Some of the best news from Belle River is that the Yamaha VXR looks like a lock for the

Normally Aspirated class championship in its first season of racing. Yamaha VXR riders

Cameron Frame and brother Trey Frame finished 1-2 overall. The two brothers have

been swapping wins all season long and continue to put on one of the best shows on the tour. The Yamaha VXR has won every round this season in dominating fashion.

Other notable performances include Nathan McLean who won Novice Runabout Limited

also aboard a Yamaha FZR.

Round 6 of the UWP-IJSBA Watercross National Tour comes to Colonial Beach, VA on

July 30-31.
