MIKE MENDEZ 300

Liquid Militia Team Rider Mike Mendez hails from Oakley California.

Team Mate: Dean Brown

Pro Am Open- Kawasaki Ultra 300X #909

This will be his first time competing at the Mark Hahn 300. He along with his team mate will be piloting a choice Kawasaki 300X, one of the best rough water tracking hulls you can pilot. They will be on the track representing LM and battling it out with 52 teams and 9 nations representing the competitor field.

The race tops off at 30 laps. Each lap is a 10 mile loop. The boats are outfitted with transponders that track their results on a timeline. The greatest challenge is when the racers come into the pit area and have to refuel their craft. This is where the action shifts to spotlight the teams pit crew, if there are any.

LM- Game Plan?
MM- ‘Stay smooth and consistent, win the damn race.’

LM- The Wall?
MM- ‘Our greatest challenge will be the tough competition. With over 9 countries registered I’m sure there will be some incredible riders.’

This is the 8th year running this event, which supports both stand up watercraft and sitdown boats running the same track. Various categories are offered, and the Mike is competing in the top tier level of professionals in the Pro Am runabout class. This is where all the RPM powered boost boats will be pushing their machine and rider beyond their limits.

LM- Hahn Crew?
MM- “I have a great teammate and pit crew. I’ve brought the heavy hitters in. Brian Hogan from Discovery Bay and Chris Morton from Scottsdale, Arizona. I’ve teamed up with Dean Brown from Brentwood Ca. Dean has made his presence known throughout the endurance PWC community. Together we make up the ‘big guns.’ Says Mike. And the “big guns” are going to want a podium finish.
