giving geico plenty of room. which didn't feel like we gave them anything...but, i know everyone knows we are moving at 1 football field a second and the only way to slow a turbine cat down is turn. o, and the only way it turns in under power. the g forces are amazing. everything about the boat really does not seem possible.

this is why we are trying to bring racing closer than ever to the fans. jeff and i will always take the time to explain the idiosyncrasies of our boat. so, please do come vist us in Key West. NO matter who wins...it's going to be a SHOW!

ps...those shirts have magic powers! just like arruda's shoes

We are trying to work through all the complications of our new systems. As some of you know. We are working on a real time 360deg view video feed...LIVE, from our website. Standard equipment used in NASCAR will not work. So, to say the least, it's been a challenge. This is one of the many tricks JBS Racing has in-store for KW.

The support from everyone has been great...Even if your a Geico fan...That's totally cool! The important part is; your there!

Good Stuff Joe. I'm Very happy for you, Jeff and the hole team. I run a 44Mti Turbine for a local guy for personal use. Racing it would be way different. I know the speeds and responce times as well as G's. Scott & Marc, Jeff and Joe you all look Great !! Jo

(scotty b will do 2 out of three .
Not to turn this into a pissing match, but you dont even know what the F*%K I am talking about, you were not there this was directed at Jeff and Joey, the lateral closure in the 500 or so ft prior to this picture being taken, went from 200 ft to 10, at 150 plus, They appeared to be on a collision course.

AS for Geico it was both good for them and the sport to have competition, Great job Marc and Scott. And congrats on your OSS National championship, Looking forward to some great Racing in Turbine class.

I've never had a favorite race team but now I do. JBS rocks. Keep the video posts coming. You loose the wheel and never flinch... Racing is on the edge, remember rubbing is racing "days of thunder", and you guys were far from that.

It was great seeing two turbine boats going at it...knowing that JBS had limited seat and testing time it was really cool watching both or you going down the course... while I really like the sound of the big motors the turbines are just soooo sweet....great job to both and congrats to the Gieco crew....
