Australia, April, 2009 – Evinrude E-TEC have had one of the most dominant ski racing seasons on
record. With a focus on the SMOC and MOC divisions, Evinrude powered racers
have raised the bar, taking line honors and breaking records.
Across Australia, the SMOC divisions at Sydney and Grafton Bridge to
Bridge, Southern 80, Robinvale, Mildura, Hawkesbury 120, National and State
Titles, and numerous series events, has been taken out by an Evinrude E-TEC. Even
more impressive is the fact that many of these wins smashed previous race
records and were either double, or even triple, podium finishes. This is a
testament to the class-leading power and performance inherent in Evinrude's
250HO.
"The sheer top speed and torque of the big block Evinrude allows
for higher average corner speeds which won us the race. We are extremely happy
with the win and the performance of the E-TEC engine" said Jeff Stubbs,
driver of Test Labs after winning and setting a new race record at the
Hawkesbury 120 in SMOC class.
Evinrude powered racers have also performed well in MOC divisions taking
line honors and double podium finishes at Grafton, a double podium finish at
Murray Bridge and the Sydney Bridge to Bridge, and grabbing a first place at
Mildura.
"A massive thank-you needs to go to my team
and Evinrude E-TEC for their continued support to get us where we are"
said Ace Racing driver Darren
Spencer, after smashing a 5 year race record in MOC class at the Sydney Bridge
to Bridge.
This consistency in the Australian racing
circuit reinforces E-TEC's standing as the leading outboard engine
manufacturer. Time and time again, Evinrude's focus across the SMOC and MOC
divisions has resulted in line honors and old race records being broken.
