The association announced on 30 September 2024 that Fast Powersports had completed the homologation, so that it could advertise both the GP1R and the GP16 as IJSBA Race Legal for products consistent with the specifications it had supplied. Its report of 1 October 2024 lists Fast Powersports among four applicants that had completed the preliminary application and were eligible for competition.

What the archive has not read (5)

  • No held document says whether the F1, the third product in the application of 4 September 2024, was homologated; the post of 30 September names only the GP1R and the GP16 (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-17).
  • No held document dates the start of trading, names an owner, or gives a state registry record (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-17).
  • The association's World Finals results of 2012 and 2014 print FAST POWERSPORTS in sponsor columns beside riders from South Africa (one rider in 2012, in two classes), and a South African motorcycle magazine of August 2015, read through the Internet Archive's search, prints the name Fast Powersports among motorcycle business names; no document ties either to the Phoenix company, so neither is used (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-17).
  • The association's post of 30 September 2024 ends by pointing readers to the fastpowersports.net address for Bullett Racing and its products; no held document says whether that is the same business or a slip in the post (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-18).
  • A US trademark application for FAST POWERSPORTS GP1, for personal jet boats, was filed on 7 December 2022 in an individual's name and abandoned without registering; no document ties the applicant to the company (USPTO name search, 2026-10-17).

It says seven entities applied and four were complete, gives the association's own account of the Pro Force application and of an amnesty to 31 December 2024 for owners of used units, and says the association banned all aftermarket hulls in 1997 and reintroduced them in the mid 2000s. High for what the association says; it is one side of a disagreement whose other side is held only as a newspaper lead. Read live on 2026-10-06; the contact email is replaced.
