Sulphur Springs, Texas is becoming a local focal point for international jet ski racing in advance of the Jettribe WaterX Racing Series at Lake Coleman August 4 – 7, 2022.

This past weekend Sulphur Springs native Andrew Vo traveled  to Rounds 7 & 8 of the Jettribe Mid-America WaterX Series in Lawrence, Kansas. Vo racers spent a total of 5 days on the road to compete in this race. 

Andrew competed on a Yamaha SuperJet race ski and did extremely well and took podium in his 3 classes over the weekend, Ski Junior 13-15 4 Stroke Lites, Ski Amateur 4 Stroke Lites, and Ski Junior 13-15 2 Stoke SXR.

Overall, it was an awesome experience for the Jettribe race family to see the Midwest during their 9-hour drive and live off the truck stops along the way. The team is back at Sulphur Springs and looking forward to the remaining rounds of the Mid-America Series.

Next week  Andrew will travel with a local junior race team to Chattanooga, Tennessee for Rounds 9 & 10 of the series, and quickly return to Sulphur Springs for both the Mid-America finals the USA Central Nationals Championship at Lake Coleman August 4-7, 2022. The Jettribe family looks forward to seeing spectators and race fans cheer on your local racers.
