Go south on Kasson to Lorenzen Rd
Left onto Lorenzen Rd and drive next to a long line of tall palm trees.
When you come to the end of the county road, proceed through the working ranch site. (mandatory speed limit is 10 mph) all the way to the levee.

Advanced payment via paypal is helpful and speeds things up a bit on race day, but what’s most important is sending me a completely filled out entry form or an intent to race email. Most of you already have entry forms on file but if not, you can download one from www.djsaracing.com or www.diablojsa.com , or just email me and I’ll send you one. Incomplete forms will be sent back to you, so please fill them out completely with all personal, emergency, medical, and race ski info included… If it’s requested on the form, it’s for a reason.
I only need one entry per racer but if you are running multiple classes on different skis, I need the additional info on the extra classes or the skis you’ll be running. Things always run smoother if we know you’re coming in advance and your help in this area is greatly appreciated…
If you have already raced a 2015 djsa race, YOU ONLY NEED TO SHOOT ME an email of intent with your -
* Name
* Class or classes
* Race #
* Ski make / model
I will print your entry out for you. If any of your personal or sponsor info has changed - I need an updated entry form for our reg data and announcing.
PRE-REGISTRATION CLOSES ON MONDAY, July 13th, at 9pm!!!
All non pre-registered entries taken on race day are $125 per day.
Save yourself some bucks, save me some time, and please pre-register!!!
Each registered racer will receive 4 dinner tickets for Saturday night’s rider appreciation bbq. (if you need an extra ticket or 2 for immediate family members let me know) otherwise additional tickets for friends etc will be $10 ea.
As with years past, those of you with mad culinary skills are encouraged to bring a side dish, appetizer, or a dessert for the dinner. (even those without culinary skills like myself!!) I’ll try to have Jill coordinate those efforts but if you’re able to help out, you can hit her up on facebook at the Diablo Jet Ski Action – DJSA page. As always, your help is GREATLY welcomed and appreciated!!
Site fees -
Dry Camping lakeside - $30 per night. There are no showers at this venue.
Racer / Spectators / Family day only access - $15 per vehicle per day
ALL vehicles (camping or day use) MUST check in at the main office or with the gate attendant before parking.
Lakeside camping is permitted all the way around the lake – however water access is allowed ONLY to the left or right of the flag dock in DESIGNATED BEACH AREAS… you will have to beach pit your skis in these areas if you want them in the water or on the beach. If you want them in your camp site, they will have to be trailered or carted out at the ramp similar to Minden or Marysville.
* No explosives allowed.
* Campfires are allowed only in designated areas.
* No glass containers are allowed.
*NO OUTSIDE ALCOHOL PERMITTED TO BE OUT OF CAMPSITES UNTIL AFTER 10PM. There is now a full bar on site.
*Pit vehicles are allowed only in the vicinity of the race site for launching, and personal transportation. This does not include joyriding. There is a mandatory speed limit of 10 mph. Pit vehicles are not allowed outside the designated area and are NOT to be on trails at anytime. Pit vehicles being used during hours of darkness will display proper lights or they will be parked. Pit Vehicles are to be operated by registered racers or crew only. Racers under 14 operating pit vehicles must be accompanied by an adult at all times.
* Dogs must be on a leash at all times. Sorry folks, but insurance requirements at this
venue strictly prohibit aggressive breed dogs, (specifically Pits and Chows), from
being on the property.
* No amplified noise is allowed before 8am, and after midnight. There are neighbors in
the distance on the east side of the property and an onsite caretaker – and we must
respect their privacy.
Course –
This course will be run in a clockwise direction.
Red buoys - right turns
Yellow buoys - left turns
Blue with a color – start of a split (blue goes into 2)
White with a color – end of a split (single line is again alright)
Black – penalty buoys
Please race smart, have a heart, and go around the buoys without hitting them!
Starts –
We are shooting for beach starts on the horn. I am taking steps to protect the lake’s membrane lining on the start beach and I am confident our efforts will be successful. If issues arise, alternative starts may have to be considered - but as of now we are looking at beach starts on the “Horn Blaster” horn.
