Battle of the Keys

Pete B · 10-06-2008, 08:46 PM

In less than 30 days, the performance boating world will descend upon Key West for the World Championships. While there will be many teams racing for titles. No one race is more anticipated than Turbine Extreme, which will feature 3 boats. Team GEICO with a considerable amount of seat time could be the odds on favorite! But luck, could be on anyone's side. Regardless it will be quite the spectacle

My votes on JBS

There will be a fourth Turbine boat racing as well WARBIRD. (44 MTI )

Both the JBS and Aquamania boats are extremely fast and their crews know how to race. Pete, As you saw this weekend we (GEICO MTI) are severely impaired in heavy water by our boat length. Can't go fast if you can't keep it in the water. It's three days of racing all you can do is prepare to the best of your ability and race as hard as the equipment will let you without breaking it.

Good luck to all the teams

Ryan Beckley · 10-07-2008, 10:19 AM

JBS · 10-07-2008, 10:27 AM

I dont have a pic of that boat. KW is winner take all wednesday can be the positioning race, fridays race will set the stage, sundays race will the show...

the excitement level is going to be off the charts for the unlimited class.

DriverofDonzi · 10-07-2008, 12:36 PM

I am starting to enjoy this smack talk now until the Worlds!

Chris

audacity · 10-07-2008, 02:00 PM

your not going to hear any smack from me...here are the three reasons why:

1.Geico is hard to beat.
2.Geico is hard to beat.
3.Geico is hard to beat.

Is warbird the bud select shootout turbine?

MANITIE · 10-07-2008, 03:27 PM

This should be a great race....the team with 2 years of seat time against some new guys.....Its always cool to be the underdog....

DriverofDonzi · 10-07-2008, 03:43 PM

No no...I didnt say that. I am very much eager to see who will become Turbine Class World Champion since it will be more than 1 boat race for World Title.....

Chris

audacity · 10-07-2008, 04:09 PM

I know...I was messing too.

The excitement builds each day for us. So much to do. So little time. And so much win or loose: equipment...reputations...lives...we know it. But, what separates this class from any other in history is...the fans know it! This is what is going to propel the unlimited offshore class to the next level in motorsports!

chewiekw · 10-07-2008, 04:51 PM

I thought Geico had a Mystic also? Why dont they race that boat? Which boat is lighter the 50ft Mystic or the 44ft MTI?

audacity · 10-07-2008, 04:57 PM

They 'were' setting up the mystic for speed records with t55's in it...I am in no way speaking for geico. Plans change all the time in racing. I guess we will all just have to see how it all unfolds in KW.

JBS · 10-07-2008, 05:17 PM

the anticipation of this race is monumental.The teams are well prepared and ready to flex some muscle.The fans are eagerly awaiting this epic showdown.I cant wait-Ive got the best seat in the house.JBS

audacity · 10-07-2008, 05:37 PM

i got the best seat!

...i wouldn't have anything to do with what jeff has going on over there. he's w/o a doubt got mad skills.

cauzmik · 10-07-2008, 06:31 PM

Gieco should set up the mystic and let's make it a mystic class...Budweiser should drop 2 turbines into their's and we would have the beginning of a freaking amazing class....I wonder who will be the next team to join the fray?...anyone saving up?

Sean H · 10-07-2008, 06:34 PM

I voted JBS for turbine, I mean, they have a telemetry van, how cool is that?

But I couldn't find the box marked Bud Light for overall Top Gun, you know, like last year?

gonna be fun to watch though... Bud, CRC, CMS, JBS, Aquamania, Geico, Warbird.... and Cintron? Bad Moon? hopefully its bumpy and we can see these big boats do their thing!

Turbines and pistons, Mystics and MTI's... all mixed up.
