Welcome to DJSA

Home of the best damn Outlaw PWC Racing in Northern California !!!

4 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 - trick looking tee shirts of all the drivers and they're cars. 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 - but 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 a local regional race series on a regular basis...

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 quickly learned about such complex things as liability insurance, special event permits, and race management. I hand selected an incredible staff, a well trained safety team, and here we are today - with 4 years and 1000 individual 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...

Our 4th season exploded in popularity and every race had new faces on the startlines in all 8 classes. The ladies even decided they wanted their own standup class and they had no trouble pinning the throttle and showing us they mean serious business on the course! A push to get more old school Sport Sitdowns in the lineup resulted in the "Invasion of the Blasters", and we saw some of the most exciting racing of the season from the racers in that class!     

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.

I often 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."
