What a great time, we had. Here's the article in today's paper. Geico looked awesome. My buddy Bruce Walters is driving the old Zipp Express Spectre 36' cat. It was their 1st race,(P-2) and they won.
Congrats to all, and GREAT PICs Pete:)
Dean

Don't know the owners name, but he bought it last year, and my buddy Bruce Walter's the driver. Their first race in P-2, and they won.
Hope this helps.

So Dan Francis is no longer involved with Zipp Express? I'm surprised Zipp Express is still the sponsor.

M,
Not sure if Dan F. is still associated with Zipp Express or not, I'm just going off what my friend Bruce has filled me in on. I know that they got all the Zipp Express uniforms and stuff?

Great shots Pete, we all thank you.
Just looking at some of the canopy boats,, like MaryMac, how on earth can you see throught those little itty bitty windows?
Some of the drivers must be feeling like driving a WWII Sherman, looking through a "SLOT" :)

Pete B 05-24-2011 01:28 PM

Thanks you all for veiwing my pics! hope you all enjoyed what I saw in and around the race course. Cocoa Beach being a relatively new site, did a outstanding job. if you did not attend put in down for next year!

Do you think that the smaller windows would be much stronger then a larger window and not weaken the integrity of the canopy. At the speeds they are going now, you would want to be protected from impact with the water if you flipped.
