Superboat Unlimited Class Looking Strong For Key West
Healthy big-boat fleet, http://speedonthewater.com/in-the-ne...-key-west.html.
On the smaller-boat side, the Stock (outboard) class looks to be one of the stronger fleets in the entire event, and from what I've been told there are 60-plus boats (total) registered.

And the turbine boats? Will there be anybody racing against the Miss Geico in Key West?
Besides: Which classes will race on which day? I couldnīt find anything about that on superboat.com.

All classes race all 3 days. There are 3 races(10 AM, noon and 2 PM). They split the classes up among those 3 start times. 10 AM is usually stock and the P-classes. 2 PM is the big boys.

It's really to bad that there are no other Turbine boats to Challenge Miss Geico. I would of loved to see them battling against JBS Racing, Aqua Mania and Rebel Racing.

And I just hope that this will not be beginning of the end of an offshore turbine class which barely ever existed, because this would fit into a general trend: The Concorde has gone, the Shuttle has gone, maglev trains keep being rejected without any reasons, and in June next year Mazda will stop the production of the Renesis Wankel - the most sophisticated explosion motor in existence- without any substitute on the horizon. It can in fact be argued, that today there exists a generally degenerative rather than progressive trend in mechanical macro-engineering (the type which really took off in the Roman Empire), which is only partially forced upon us by environmental concerns.
I wonder if at least there will be any offshore race boats with two-stroke motors in KW, or is it all four-stroke?
