• Racers, ensure you have all your safety equipment with you when arriving at Tech for your Pre-race technical inspection.
• Note: You will not pass Tech without these items.

• All riders must have their watercraft inspected prior to riding on the water (practice and racing).
• This is mandatory for all riders.
• It is the rider’s responsibility to submit their watercraft to the Technical Director for safety inspection.
• Inspections take place on-site in the pit area.
• Pre-race inspections do not certify watercraft as qualified or legal for class participation.

• The Technical Director may prohibit any watercraft from competing that does not meet JSRA technical requirements.
• Prepare in advance for inspection: bring your helmet, back protector, leg guards, life vest, and Fire Extinguisher.
• Ensure your watercraft complies with pre-race inspection criteria described in the 2024 IJSBA Rule Book.

The 10 most common items that prevent a watercraft from passing inspection:

• Handlebar grips not secure.
• Proper-sized numbers and backgrounds not displayed on both sides.
• JSRA decals not displayed.
• Lanyard stop switch not working properly.
• Flexible tow loop on bow eye not installed.
• Battery not connected or charged.
• Air filters not installed; fuel lines not secured with tie wraps.
• Intake grate extending more than 12mm below the hull.
• Sponsons too deep or too sharp.
• Throttle cable housing not secured to an aftermarket throttle lever.

• Unlike the Winter series, all riders must report to tech immediately after their race.
• Failure to do so will result in disqualification.
• You will be informed of this point during the Rider’s Meeting.
• Be prepared to strip down your ski for further inspection at the end of racing.

Ensure your race numbers are black and the correct size (at least 7 inches high).
