Welcome to DJSA
Home of the best
damn Outlaw PWC Racing
in
Northern California !!!
3 years ago I was sitting at the Antioch Speedway watching
2 of my favorite kinds of dirt track car racing - open wheel Midgets and Sprint cars. I looked around the grandstands
and saw hundreds of people having a great time. The gift shop was always a busy place selling race programs, photos of
favorite drivers, and of course - tee shirts. Good old fashioned down home dirt track racing every saturdy night from March
through October. If you dig track racing there is definately no shortage of it here!!! And then I started thinking about my
other passion...PWC's.
I don't know why, but sometime during the Sprint Car main event
I started envisioning PWC's racing at a local weekly venue, the same as what this local NASCAR track was running... I
started wondering why there were only 3 or 4 PWC races a year in our area, and thought it would be cool to set up a model
of racing similar to that of this very fun local dirt track. I never intended on directing races because I wanted
to race myself, so I made some calls to the powers to be, to see if they would consider running local regional
races on a regular basis...
To make a long story not so long, I didn't get the
answers I was looking for and most the time I didn't get any answers at all - so it all came down to this... put
together a local race program myself, or it just wasn't going to happen at all. Using several years of past
race experience of my own, and much of my training and experience from work, I learned about such complex things as liability
insurance and special event permits. I hand selected an incredible staff, a well trained safety team, and here
we are today - with 3 years and several hundred races under our belt.
Our first season consisted of point series races on wednesday evenings
at a local marina. Our 2nd season was run on sundays at several different venues on the delta, and around the bay area.
Our 3rd season moved to saturdays at racer's request, and our 14 race point series visited some very respectable locations...The
Oakley waterfront, Salt Springs Valley Reservoir, The City of Suisun, The Pittsburg Seafood Festival, and a handful of
races at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo...
We have a long way to go to get to the same level as the Antioch
Raceway, but looking back on this past season, I'm very proud of where we're at. Our Ski Clinic sponsored Safety Ski
team affectionately known as "Team Orange" is one of the best in the business. Our scoring and shore staff are also the best
group of people I have ever worked with, and I could not put on a single race without them by my side.
Our very special race photographer Traci Cottle, takes over 1500
action pics from 8 different classes of skis, each running 3 heats of racing in a day - and makes them available
for racers, fans, and enthusiast, to download, print, and mount on "walls of fame" everywhere - without ever asking for anything
in return.
Often, I sit back and look at all the team tee shirts being worn
in the pits, the camraderie displayed amongst all the racers, the youngsters in the crowd cheering on their favorite
hero's... and then I get the pleasure of watching the most exciting and thrilling PWC races the Bay Area has ever seen... We're
not Antioch Speedway, but because of that very impressionable dirt track in Antioch - we are proud to have become
"Diablo Jet Ski Action."
