The complete results of the World Finals of 2008 published by the International Jet Sports Boating Association (IJSBA) list Johnny Leftly sixteenth in Pro Am Runabout Stock. Neither the event nor the year is printed on the sheet itself; the archive reads both from its address on the association's site.

2013 · Likely
The association's class list for its 2013 World Finals enters JOHNNY LEFTLY, as printed, in Amateur Freestyle. It is an entry list, not a result. That the runabout racer of 2008 and this freestyle entrant are one person rests on the name alone, which is the archive's reading and an inference.

Riding outside a race
2015 · Likely
The Watercraft Journal's report of Wavedaze, held at Virginia Beach on 10 to 12 April 2015, says Johnny Leftly gave a freestyle riding exhibition in the small, shallow pool behind the host hotel on the Saturday evening, flipping several times, then a hop turn and three more flips, on a new Rage Havoc hull with a TPE 1105cc freestyle motor. The archive reads him as the 2013 freestyle entrant from the name and freestyle, an inference.

The Journal's account of Flatwater Friday, the informal session at Lake Dias near Daytona Beach during Daytona Freeride week, posted 23 February 2015 and written in the first person plural, names Johnny Leftly among the professional freestyle riders who have shown up and ridden in its sessions, without dating one. Taking him for the Wavedaze rider is again the archive's reading on the name, an inference.
