RE: Jet Ski Race WRBC Volunteers

A Thank You from the Commodore:

I would like to thank all the volunteers that gave up their time and a weekend for helping to make the City of Whiting Grand Prix of the Sea Jet Ski Race a huge success.

First of all George Timko & Rik Stak for making sure the building was open and available to the Organization and Film Crews of this event.

Secondly, I would thank personally Jack Benko for volunteering to be the race pace boat. Mike Zavesky, John Gigac, Cas Chocholek, John Rokosz, Bob Mehok, Mike Zralka, and myself for providing course perimeter security both days keeping the race course safe from any outside boats or jet skis attempting to enter the race.

The Organizers that put this event together expressed their EXTREME appreciation for all of our commitment to their event. Gene Stephens who was the head of this Organization told me personally he has never in any event received such great cooperation and help.

They are looking forward to returning next year to repeat another event similar or larger. They will time this better so it does not interfere with any other events occurring on the lake.

Check our website as they have sent us a copy of the video of the event for our viewing. We will also show this at our next meeting August 30th, 2016.

Thank you,
Mike Hill WRBC Commodore

Jet Ski Race

Hey all,

Just wanted to share a video we received from the P1 AquaX people regarding the 1st Great Lakes Jet Ski Race at Whiting Parks Whihala Beach. The Boat Club helped, hosted and opened up our building to the organization.

For those of you who could not attend, I am bringing it to you. It was insane!! Hollywood, hunks and power all in one place. Mike Hill the WRBC Commodore and a few boat club members volunteered to be the outside boundary boats for the jet ski racers not to pass the boats with the red flags in them. Mike is on the red & white boat and is wearing the glow orange hat if you see it in the background bobbing around. HAHA

We just received this email with attached video to the Whiting Robertsdale Boat Club (WRBC) from the Organization. Enjoy!!!

P.S.  It was such a success and Lake Michigan a challenge that they are wanting to come back next year. They loved the whole layout of the new Whiting Park. It was set up just perfect for Jet Ski Race.

Also, they are maybe bringing the power boats next year.

Go Whiting!!!!

We thought you might like to see a copy of the final show which will be shown on Comcast/CSN on 21st August at 16:30, although please be aware this time is subject to change.
All the Best,
