Kennesaw, GA and Pompano Beach, Fla. — Yamaha and Riva Racing have announced plans to go PWC racing with Orlando, FL based Dean’s Team for the 2011 UWP-IJSBA Watercross National Tour that begins in Panama City, FL on May 14.

Dean’s Team’s 2011 riders will include Dustin Charrier, Chris MacClugage, Tim Neff, Trey Frame and John Hecox.

“Dean has proven to be one of the top mechanics in the industry, and he has successfully helped his riders bring Yamaha to the winner’s circle every year since he’s been working on them,” said Scott Watkins, product manager for Yamaha’s WaterCraft Group. “We are thrilled to see more riders switch to Yamaha and work with Dean to maximize their potential on the closed course.”

In addition to the Yamaha FZR, which took home multiple national titles last year, Dean’s Team riders will be racing the all new Yamaha VXR in a new normally aspirated stock class that was created this year.

Dean’s Team racecraft will be using Riva Performance Products to power the 2011 racing effort. Riva racing products were also used in Dean’s Team’s 2010 championship wins.

“We are proud to support Dean’s Team with our racing products for the Yamaha FZR & VXR,” said Dave Bamdas, head of Riva Racing. “Dean is a great tuner and runs a professional racing effort. Riva works closely with Dean to provide cutting edge parts that keep his riders in the winner’s circle. We look forward to another successful race season with Deans Team!”

The 2011 UWP-IJSBA Watercross National Tour begins May 14 in Panana City, FL and concludes with the National Championship August 20 in Charleston, WV.
