Shane,
It would be great to see you race the 24 ft Skater with OPA...and with the right water conditions, I bet you would be pretty competitive too in either P2 or P3.I understand your frustration with the state of offshore powerboat racing; but the individuals that manage the sport are going to do what they are going to do.Hopefully, someday they will get it right.

Does anybody have the final results in all classes? It seems to be kinda hush , hush. Were the minimum number of boats met and did everybody get paid? Since there was no TV and no Sanction - it seems like alot of hardware was torn up for nothing. I'm glad all racers survived with minimum injuries. BH

Hey Brian,

Results are posted on Keywestworlds.com so I have heard. As far as television yes Martin Sanborn was there this weekend filming. As far the money I cannot comment.

Take care and I'll talk to you soon.

Yup, stunk completely for the spectators. Upper 70's during the days, a course you could watch from shore either @ Mallory Square or the shoreline @ Fort Walton, (left boat at home this year with a poofed lower) lovely ladies in short shorts or less

beautiful boats at all the marinas, scooters to "tour" on, and oh yeah, some rather exciting races to boot made for a crappy weekend..

It was interesting the number of team shirts I saw that weren't racing. Maybe they just came down to enjoy the weekend or maybe to scout the event??

There's something about Key West

Hey I thought it was pretty good.
The second race sunday with the Super cat and SCL was pretty good. Lots of action.
Despite the "situation" I think the rac was pretty good.

My main suggestion.... DOCKAGE. We went by boat, but couldn't find anywhere to tie up and come to the pits!
All they needed was a few more floating docks in the Mole....
