bummer, also Sarasota has 100% chance for rain Monday for the Kilo here that no one here even Knows about. If I advertised my business like this I would be out of business.

It's an APBA sanctioned event to break the propeller driven speed record held by Russ Wicks at 205.3mph. I don't believe anything would prevent anyone from running the kilo. However, the event isn't an APBA Offshore sanction so Offshore Class records could not be set.
