Veteran racer Mike “The Mauler” Yellich is a Facebook friend of mine, which is nice for several reasons…one of which is that he posts links to some pretty good PWC videos from time to time. The latest is a look at the 2009 World Finals. For those who have never been to the event before, or just wonder what all the hype is about, I think it offers a great glimpse into the action both on and off the water.



Speaking of the World Finals, this year’s event is coming up October 3-10, once again in Lake Havasu and based out of the Crazy Horse Campground & Resort. There’s a countdown calendar at www.ijsba.com.
