Miami update / info
 

anyone in Miami have results yet???

how many boats?? I heard not too many

winners??? classes?

20 Boats
Oh yeah 2 of them are only on display with NO engines
so 18 Boats including p classes
I think that make somewhere around 12-15 classes
I could be off by a few

A few retirements, a couple of spins....about 13 finished I think....there were too few to count...got bored and lost count...

Bacardi soloed around abit faster than the Vee's for the win. They should race both boats when nobody shows. Actually, El Diablo was in the dry pits but didn't have engines....oars...or sails...but they do have NC as a sponsor....go figure...

Firewater won despite spinning and almost running over a Batboat cutting across course, Switch (Extreme) ran second and Muscle (ex-Nick Carter fountain) took third limping in with mechanical trouble.

That's all I recall...it was a snooze.

Thanks for the report..I must say that I am a bit dissapointed. Considering first race of the season ...Miami ....

WASSSSUP with that??? I hope this doesnt set the pace for the rest of the season.

Miami SBI is a notoriously poor turnout since the days of racing in Government Cut. The weather was terrible yesterday with today's forecast not any better, the race was not promoted in any meaningful way, current political uncertainty, first SBI race of the season....oh yeah... poor economy....maybe we got what we should have expected....

I was really hoping for a better turn out. But, if thats the norm, OK, I guess. I certainly wouldn't want to drive 1200 miles to race myself or 1 other boat.

You'd be alright...you Boyz travel in a pack;)

Nobody has motors in their boats yet. So we wouldnt have gone anyway.. We are debating the next venue FT. Myers or Marathon.

Based on first race turnouts, Marathon should have a better turnout. The Saturday race in Daytona (40+ boats) had almost double the number of total entries of Miami today. Marathon could have 90 potential entries based on Daytona's 82 and its a nice course layout for F1 & P boats.

We raced in Daytona and we were very impressed by the turnout.

Bruce, Its pretty clear to me. If you wan't to RACE , come to Marathon. If you want to go for a boat ride go to Fort Meyers.
SBI is a lot of fun, great people to party with etc.
The bottom line is there is not much competiton beyond Super V

Scott,

How did you make out with your engine? Are you up and running again? Good luck in Marathon...

Frank, Its toast. I am Driving Offshore Addiction F1-52 for the rest of the season. Good luck to you as well in Fort Meyers, and be careful of the Jerzey Boys. They should be with you in good numbers at Ft Meyers. Hopefully, our paths will cross again this season and I'll buy you a beer. At the very least, I'll be at Deerfield to cheer you on

I'm hearing rumblings of a double-shot of da Boyz in Florida that weekend...?????

Hey Bruce, its only 247.6 miles(approx 4 1/2 hrs) from Marathon to Ft Myers. Why dont you? Trent

Apparently, We race on Saturday in FT MYERS too. plus it would be awful hectic packing up and racing back up North. But , we may do it anyway. Well see wht the Boyz want to do
