Results

1996 · Confirmed

The class page posted by Aquascore for the 1996 Skat-Trak World Finals at Lake Havasu City lists JEFF PRIEUR fifth of 26 registered riders, on a Polaris, with moto finishes of 9 and 3, after eighth place in his heat and second in a last-chance qualifier.

1996 · Confirmed

The scorer's Pro Runabout 785 MOD page from the same Finals lists him fourteenth on a Polaris and third in his heat. Personal Watercraft Illustrated's report of the heat races, posted during the 1996 Finals, names Polaris' Jeff Prieur third in the first heat of the class.

1996 · Likely

The magazine's report of the last two rounds of the 1996 IJSBA Budweiser Jet Sports Tour gives him fifth overall in Pro Runabout 1200 at Richland, Washington, with moto finishes of 6 and 4, and third at Anaheim, California, with 6 and 2, and its final standings print Jeff Prieur (Pol) fifth in the class. Its report of the opening round at Savannah, Georgia, prints "Jerr Prieur (Pol)" sixth in the same class, which the archive reads as the same rider from the class and the make. The tour's Jeff Prieur (Pol) is taken for the rider of the 1996 Finals sheet from the name, the class and the Polaris, also an inference.

Recognition

Likely

The hall of fame page of the International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) lists Jeff Prieur among its 2007 inductees, and the association's announcement of the 2007 ceremony, as reposted, names him among fifteen competitors inducted that year. Both print the name alone, so the archive reads them as this racer from the name.

Elsewhere in the archive

What the archive has not read (1)

  • The IJSBA's champions page lists a Jeff Prieur for Pro-Am Sport in 1993. It is a finding aid, and no 1993 World Finals result sheet is held, so no title is listed (searched the archive's mirror and research cache, 2026-10-19).
