Default Scary moment in Key West

Did anyone else $hit in there pants when the Mafia boat flipped in turn one in Super Boat class? If any of you didn't know that is the boat that Joey Gratten lost his life in at the same turn 4 yeas ago. I was so glad to see the helmets on the boat when they got out.

That was a crazy bad circumstance. When the tips of the sponsons started to point skywards, it was tough to see where they were going to end up. For a moment or two, it looks like they were heading for the big marker boat in turn 1.

I hope they guys stay in the game and come back strong next year - that was a tough week on the team to bounce back time and time again. Considering only two boats were immediately in front of them at the pin - they were in it to win it and the boat showed som amazing speed.

Does anyone actually know what happened? I only saw what was on live stream. They had to be running fast to be close to the front boats.
