Great news. This decision by Team GEICO goes far beyond the team's future. They have a huge fan following. While not everyone adores Team GEICO, all can respect the positive impact their presence has on the sport.

Integration is inevitable, takes time for everyone to assimilate.

Looking forward to seeing the new rig on the course.

Miss Gieco has always been one of the most recognized and popular Offshore Raceboats of all time by race fans and competitors alike. I'm a little surprised to hear that they will not be running Turbines this year but their boat will never the less sound great this year with the new Mercury 1650's and I look forward to watching this Team, "Miss Geico Team U.S.A." doing battle on the race course. Good Luck Guys.

Marc.
I know when you say Vs. Norway you are talking about Gassen.
Hate to tell you. This is the Norwegian you need to worry about.
Hope Merc gave you lots of spare motors for this year season. You are going to need them.
Looking forward to it.
