ABOUT LAVONIA, GA:
Lavonia is a historic city in Franklin and Hart Counties, Georgia. Lavonia is known for being the smallest city in the U.S. with an original Carnegie Library, and its downtown is filled with antique shops and restaurants.
ABOUT TUGALOO STATE PARK:
Tugaloo State Park’s six-lane mega ramp has made the park a popular site for large fishing tournaments, as well as recreational boating, and the ample parking and easy launch access also make it a perfect site for watercross racing
HOTEL | CAMPING

ONLINE REGISTRATION:
ONSITE REGISTRATION/CHECK-IN :

- PWX trailer near mega ramp (lower level)
TIMES:
- Friday - 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM
- Saturday - 7:00 AM to 8:15 AM
WHY PRE-REGISTER?
What is the advantage to pre-registering? Cost to you as a competitor... You will see that pre-register pricing is $140 for amateur classes, $100 for junior classes and $200 for Pro-Am classes.
Friday onsite registration will add $10 per class and Saturday morning registration will add $20 per class to the above prices.
Why the cost difference? To motivate you to pre-register... but beyond that, in order for Pro Watercross to be able to maintain these beautiful race sites for the tour, we need to be able to provide accurate reporting to our host cities, which includes how many hotel nights are used during the event weekend. We are working extremely hard to ensure that our competitors are receiving the best room rates available.
PLEASE NOTE: Forms for the Pro Watercross can be emailed to: info@prowatercross.com.
