Episode 26 - Ross Wallach Race Director for the Parker Enduro and West Coast Circle Boat Racing

Ross Wallach is the Owner and President of RPM Racing Enterprises and is the main man behind West Coast circle boat racing where he is the race director and promoter. Wallach is the President of the Southern California Speedboat Club (SCSC) which was founded in 1946 and is one of the oldest, remaining, active powerboat clubs in the world and the stewards of the famous Parker Enduro.  Dubbed by Wallach as the "Indy 500 of Powerboat Racing," the Parker Enduro was first established in 1963 as a nine hour event and has been run for the better part of 60 years. Unfortunately, Wallach was involved in the decision to shut down the financially unsustainable race after the 1999 running.  Wallach was also instrumental in bringing the event back in 2005 with a renewed vigor and re-emphasis on the original pathos of "run what you brung" and a new, unofficial slogan of "no boat left behind." Over time, the Parker Enduro has evolved from its initial nine-hour setup to a format where participants race for four hours followed by an additional lap. The Enduro utilizes a six mile course over the Parker strip on the Colorado River. The next addition of the Parker Enduro will be start from the BlueWater Resort and Casino in Parker, Arizona on March 28, 2023.
