Lagopoulos will begin his attempt in the early morning hours aboard a Sea-Doo RXT iS watercraft and he hopes he can avoid the unexpected to stay on track to break the records. “Anything can happen out there going 65 mph for that long,” noted Lagopoulos. “There are alligators, snakes, logs, big flying bugs, all kinds of stuff to deal with, but it is a good venue for this and we welcome people from Central Florida to come and watch, support us, and make a donation. It is a good time to help (with a donation), leading into the holidays. And beyond the obvious of helping the kids, the donations are tax deductible!” To learn more about this record and to support this worth while charity, visit www.esiason.org and www.firstgiving.com/projectdream. |

Melbourne, FL – November 9, 2009 – The RIVA Racing HydroDrag Fall National took place in blustery conditions and saw Duke Zorn blow away his competition in the HydroUnlimited final. Zorn joined Stan Hightower, Troy Snyder, and Eric Lagopoulos as winners of the Fall National PWC drag race event while Jeremy Parr took the top spot in the first FishBowl Freestyle National. The weekend events drew competitors and fans from all over the eastern seaboard and saw intense action with multiple photo finishes in the HydroDrags and A+ showmanship in the FishBowl Freestyle contest. The C-54 canal located on Central Florida’s East Coast was host to the final HydroDrag event of the 2009 series, chosen for its unique layout normally providing ideal conditions for peak speeds but this weekend faced 15-25 mph winds producing small white caps at times in the 200-foot wide canal. Speed Alley top speed competition was conducted from East-to-West, with the wind but the chop negated any advantages the riders might have picked up with less wind resistance. Local Space Coast rider, Duke Zorn of nearby Titusville, FL posted the fastest top speed of the weekend on his conversion PWC with a peak speed of 88.1 mph. Zorn also took the top spot in the premier HydroUnlimited drag races, battling through the double elimination heat races beating Stan Hightower down the 1/8th mile track and collecting the $500 first place prize money. Hightower pocketed $300 for the runner-up spot and Jonathan Nieves took the third spot and $200. Hightower on his Sea-Doo RXP-X would be the weekends most decorated racer winning the HydroLimited class title bettering Orlando’s Dustin Charrier and taking the runner up spot in the HydroStock class. Veteran closed course racer Troy Snyder of Bradenton, FL on his Neptune racing built Sea-Doo RXP-X gave drag racing a try and came away the Fall National Champion in the HydroStock class. Snyder’s cross-town neighbor Eric Lagopoulos took the HydroVintage class win on his Sea-Doo SPX. The Fishbowl Freestyle National was a new event taking place under the lights Saturday night in conjunction with the Racers Party at Interchange Square in Palm Bay, FL. Local Jeremy Parr taking time off from his day job at NASA put on a spectacular show wowing the crowd with big tricks and smooth transitions and claiming the first FishBowl freestyle win and $500 top prize. Recent IJSBA Hall-of-Fame inductee and Melbourne, FL resident Lloyd “Showtime” Burlew rode to a solid routine after a ten-year hiatus and took the third spot. Johnny Leftly of Orlando - via the UK – put in a solid three-minute ride and took the third place spot and $200. The RIVA Racing HydroDrag Fall National wraps up the 2009 PWC racing season and the three event series. Stan Hightower of Lindale, Georgia claimed both the HydroLimited and HydroStock HydroDrag National Championships with Dan O’Keffe of Osage Beach, MO taking the HydroUnlimited Championship and Eric Lagopoulos taking the HydroVintage Championship.

Naples, FL, USA – October 30, 2009 – Mike Pagliccia of Naples, Florida became the latest marine adventurer to set a World Record for distance on a personal watercraft by riding his Sea-Doo watercraft 753-miles (1,211 km) in 24-hours to set the new open-water mark. Pagliccia follows his 2008 attempt on a Sea-Doo GTI watercraft (624-miles/1004 km) with both efforts raising money for the American Cancer Society. Pagliccia follows Dale Vranckx who set the flat-water distance record in 24-hours at 786-miles (1,265 km) aboard Sea-Doo watercraft in July 2009, and proceeds Eric Lagopoulos in his attempt to break three World Records aboard a iCONTROL equipped Sea-Doo RXT iS watercraft on November 12th. Pagliccia surpassed the current world record of 714-miles, set by Brett Kettle of Australia, for the longest distance traveled on a personal watercraft in open water within a twenty-four hour period by reaching 753-miles. Pagliccia began his attempt from Wiggins Pass in Naples, FL and negotiated a 30-mile track between Naples and Sanibel Island, FL, with the attempt continuing into the night with a special executive order from the Florida Wildlife Commission allowing him to ride his PWC at night on a controlled three-mile loop North of the Naples Pier. Pagliccia credits his success on the four months of physical training he did prior to the event and having a machine that could withstand the 24-hour ride in rough water. "The Sea-Doo GTX handled the rough water extremely well and with the speed that the watercraft offered, I was able to make up time as soon as the sun started to rise." Pagliccia raised over $3000.00 for the American Cancer Society during the promotion of the event by selling T-Shirts and through local business sponsorships. Pagliccia stated, "This ride was dedicated to my Mother-In-Law, Freda Slattery who died of cancer on March 7, 2009 and is in tribute to those that continue to battle this terrible disease.” On the heels of Pagliccia’s accomplishment, professional watercraft racer Eric Lagopoulos is planning to break three world records on November 12, 2009; Guinness Book of World Records Day. Lagopoulos has teamed with the legendary Pro Football quarterback Boomer Esiason and the Boomer Esiason Foundation for “Project Dream” to raise money for the research and treatment of children afflicted with Cystic Fibrosis. Lagopoulos is planning on breaking the records for most miles in a six-hour time frame, fastest time to 1000 km (625 miles), and most distance on flat water in a 24-hour period. Lagopoulos plans on achieving his goals piloting a Action Watercraft (Venice, FL) backed Sea-Doo RXT iS watercraft around a 22-mile loop on the C-54 Canal south of Palm Bay, FL. The C-54 waterway offers ideal conditions for such an attempt yet Lagopoulos will have to overcome fatigue, Florida wildlife, and count on the dependability of his Sea-Doo watercraft to reach his goals. His biggest goal is to break the 1000-mile mark in the 24-hour time frame. Lagopoulos is looking for supporters and donors to ensure his cause is a success. “The Boomer Esiason Foundation helps families with children suffering from Cystic Fibrosis get through their days.” Lagopoulos said. “We take for granted doing normal things like riding a Sea-Doo watercraft for fun, so I am asking for people to contribute fifty-cents, a dime, a penny, anything to every mile I complete so these families can go into the holidays with a little something extra. Help me give them the good life and ensure it gets better.” To get involved with the effort, please visit www.firstgiving.com/projectdream. You can also follow Lagopoulos’ preparation or discuss the attempt with him through www.facebook.com/ericlagopoulos.
