Key west pics.
 
Great trip as always. Some pics from the weekend.
Ran down on buddies 50 MTI Wed. Great run. Great day. Got a little wet coming out of haulover. :D

son in law crew chief for the GC Racing team who won first during wed race so that was nice to roll into town and hear.

Thursday speed on the water party, friday watched races from pier, today went out and cruised around a bit on the MTI. headed home tomorrow. Great people, great location, great trip as always.

black diamond crew. I have a video of it launching from the bay. I’ll load it on YouTube and post it when I can. Literally riding on the boat at the 7 mile bridge right now lol. Technology. :D

seems everyone does Facebook or Instagram or whatever. We don’t get any old school photo threads on here anymore. Figured I’d change that. :) ;)

who the hell takes a presumably very nice Lamborghini and adds a PepBoys neon kit to it. Money and taste often reside apart…..

yeah, it’s all the black diamond crew. He even had a Sheriff Buffard T Justice and Jr Appearance Friday Saturday night (pics courtesy of Bubba).

The Jackie Gleason is SPOT ON!

Can we all just take a second or twelve to let this sink in....?

I mean, seriously.... The barge the chopper is sitting on has 1050 HP...

Thanks. Brad.

SKammeraad 11-13-2023 01:55 PM

i just want to know how fast that chopper barge goes. there is certainly no way that is transported on the road down there so thats gotta be one hell of a ride from wherever he parks it in FL as well.

they boat it down from Destin. We saw it fueling at Gilbert’s on wed on the way down.

Its got to be a boring pig to drive that thing even with 1000+ HP.

I can't believe 2 guys are on that thing while the chopper comes/goes. I understand they need guys on the "ground" to secure it/release it but one wrong move and its going to be another Vic Morrow event.

Its got to be dicey for the pilot too, landing a 6mm chopper on a floating barge! Noticed the chopper didn't even have floats!

I cant imagine how boring and hot it must be driving that barge from Destin down to KW. That thing is badass though, would love to know more about it.


Cash Bar 11-14-2023 12:27 PM

They have two helo barges. Destin and Miami.

Holy crap.......Is that your boat in your profile pic? Were you docked at Bayfront Suites for the races? We stayed there planning on bringing a 38 Hustler (that wasn't ready) so one of our party got a buddy to come stay with a 35 Marlago CC that was docked beside you (if it was you).

I was looking and wondered if it has a folding top to at least give them some better shade.

Take a big cooler on that trip back!

Sydwayz 11-15-2023 10:19 AM

I'd guess they tow it behind the yacht.

I dunno, doesn't look to have much freeboard up front. I would think that being towed behind the yacht, at much more than idle, the prop wash would swamp it? Their whole poker run/ event operation is crazy impressive. Which boat does Derrick even drive himself ha?

thisistank 11-16-2023 10:46 AM

We saw it at Gilbert’s fueling on the way down wed. They ran it down on its own power. Probably runs 15 mph. 10 hours to get down there.

Bullhead 11-16-2023 12:18 PM

I saw it fueling Monday at Marathon on the way back.....it was fairly rough getting there so I am guessing they had a fun ride.
