The Florida Keys, Key West
Close To Perfect - Far From Normal


KEY WEST, Florida Keys — Speed-loving spectators can watch powerboats thundering by at 140 mph or even faster during the 34th annual Key West World Championship, set for Nov. 2-9 in the waters off the southernmost island in the continental United States.

National and international racing teams are to vie for world titles in eight classes, including the celebrated Superboat class. The viewer-friendly spectacle is known for adrenaline-fueled action that has inspired comparisons with the Indianapolis 500.

The traditional race week kick-off, a parade of high-powered boats down Key West’s legendary Duval Street, is slated to start at 4 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 2.

Racing is scheduled throughout the week, with high-speed challenges taking place Wednesday, Nov. 5; Friday, Nov. 7, and Sunday, Nov. 9.

Because water conditions vary along the course, teams can test both equipment endurance and hull and propulsion design during the season-ending championship series.

A portion of the 6.2-mile course runs through Key West Harbor, a stretch of typically smooth water where racers can achieve speeds above 140 mph and provide fans breathtaking displays of skill and power.

On race days, spectators can get an unmatched close-up view from grandstand areas on Key West’s Truman Waterfront. The Truman Waterfront can be accessed at the end of Southard Street past Thomas Street and Truman Annex.

On nonrace days, powerboat enthusiasts can view the sleek high-speed boats, watch in-water testing runs and meet racers and crews at the race village, also situated on the Truman Waterfront. Social events for racers and their fans are planned as well, including a Friday night party on Duval Street featuring race boats on display.

General-admission tickets are available, as are all-inclusive VIP spectator passes for the Truman Waterfront grandstands and hospitality tent. Other popular viewing areas include waterfront hotels and Key West’s Mallory Square.

AN INSIDER’S PREVIEW TO THE KEY WEST WORLDS
Teams to watch at offshore powerboat racing’s biggest event.
11th October 2014.
By Matt Trulio


Early in November, 50-something offshore powerboat racing teams and thousands of their fans will descend on Key West, Fla. And for one raucous week—reportedly the biggest revenue-raising week of the year for nation’s southernmost city—powerboat racers and their ardent followers will be in high-octane heaven.

Three days of racing—November 5th, 7th, and 9th—for Super Boat International World Championship titles, mixed with a nearly 24-hour party called Duval Street make for endless good fun for the go-fast boat crowd.
The annual SBI Key West Worlds happen just one month after the organization crowns its National champs at its annual event in Clearwater, Fla. And those results, at least in terms of points accumulation, have zero effect on crowning World title holders a month later in Key West. The Key West Worlds are, for all intents and purposes, a stand-alone mini-season. The three days of racing, not the season leading up to them, determine which teams in each class will go home with a World championship.

Still, you can’t ignore what happened during the regular SBI season if you’re handicapping, much less trying to pick winners across the various SBI classes for the Key West Worlds. And as a journalist who covers the sport, I just can’t resist making predictions. So here’s my take on who will win what in this year’s Key West mini-season.

Superboat Unlimited Class
By showing up and racing hard at every SBI event this season, the SilverHook/Lucas Oil V-bottom took the National Championship in this class in 2014. That said, its chances of beating the likes of Miss GEICO, CMS, and Spirit of Qatar 613, which not long ago switched from Mercury Racing 1350 engines to a pair of 1650s, are slim at best. A V-bottom with twin 1,075-hp engines just can’t hold its own against a slew of catamarans with twin 1,650-hp mills, unless by some sort of divine intervention all of the catamarans break down.

So which team will take the title? The CMS cockpit duo of Randy Scism and Bob Bull is a perennial threat, but they haven’t logged much time together in Bull’s 48-foot Marine Technology, Inc., catamaran this year. According to throttleman John Tomlinson, Tor Staubo, the owner and driver of Gasse (another 48-foot MTI cat) plans to compete in Key West in November, but Tomlinson and Staubo have logged even less time in the cockpit together this year than Scism and Bull. No matter who mans the cockpit of the Spirit of Qatar 613, the 41-foot Victory-built cat has yet to prove itself in the United States. And the fate of the much-awaited Envy team effort—a 50-foot Mystic cat—remains in flux. If the team does make it to Key West, it will be there for “testing sessions under race conditions,” meaning the Envy cat won’t run hard against the rest of the class.
I have to go with Scott Begovich and Marc Granet to repeat as back-to-back Unlimited-class World Champions in the 42-foot Miss GEICO victory catamaran on this one. They ran almost as many events as SilverHook/Lucas Oil this season, and race time plus test time tend to equal World titles in offshore racing.

Superboat
The 38-foot Stihl Skater and 40-foot Broadco MTI catamarans squared off at one race after the next during the 2014 season, but in the end Stihl took the Superboat-class National Championship in Clearwater. The cockpit teams of J.R. Noble and Mark Kowalski in Stihl and Chuck Broaddus and Grant Bruggemann in Broadco are well matched in what has become as close to a “”factory catamaran battle”—Skater versus MTI—as you’ll ever see in offshore racing.

Two wild cards heading into Key West—Team AMSOIL and WHM Motorsports—can’t be ignored in the Superboat class. Led by throttleman Bob Teague, the AMSOIL Skater 36-footer started mid-season and notched two first-place finishes and one second-place finish on the Offshore Powerboat Association circuit. The veteran WHM Motorsports team of Billy Mauff and Jay Muller—last year’s world champs in the class—heads to Key West in a brand-new 40-foot Skater catamaran with equally brand-new 750-hp Sterling engines. Either of these teams could throw a wrench into the plans of the Stihl and Broadco teams.

But that’s a long shot—the likely battle for world supremacy in the Superboat class comes down to Stihl and Broadco, and based on regular season performance I have to give the advantage to Stihl.

Stock Class
With the 2014 National Championship trophy on the shelf in its shop and a couple of dominant recent performances its credit, The Hulk/Redline Oil 32-foot Doug Wright cat throttled by Dan Lawrence and driven by Rob Nunziato, the boat’s owner, is my pick to take the World title. The team members have appeared to get more and more dialed in setting up the boat and working together as the seasoned has progressed, and they head into Key West with confidence.

That said, the experienced crew of driver/owner Chris Schoenbohm and famed Stock-class throttleman Gary Ballough in SOS Venezuela, a 32-foot Doug Wright with a recently widened tunnel, aren’t about to hand it to them. (Schoenbohm and Ballough will share the cockpit for the first time in Key West, but both are cagey and competitive Stock-class veterans.) Nor is throttleman Ryan Beckley and his driver Tanner Lewis in Beckley’s 30-foot Skater, DoublEdge Motorsports.

This is by far the toughest class in which to pick a world champion, because all of the top three teams this season—Hulk, SOS and DoublEdge—have incredibly talented, experienced crews in their cockpits and have logged a lot time competing this year. But once again, even though I have friends in every cockpit, I have a hard time seeing The Hulk team not taking the world title this year.

Superboat Vee
Like the SilverHook/Lucas Oil team in the Superboat Unlimited class, Absolutely Not, a 30-foot Fountain V-bottom owned by Mark Gibbons, took the SBI National Championship by showing up at every event and racing hard—even after Gibbons sustained significant shoulder injuries early in the season. Steve Miklos, the owner and throttleman of Sun Print, has described Absolutely Not as “the new sheriff in town,” and says he sees the boat as stiff competition heading into the worlds.

The ever-competitive Miklos comes into Key West with a new 30-foot Phantom raceboat that ran strong against Absolutely Not in Clearwater, but thanks to a mechanical failure did not finish the race. (Sun Print and Absolutely Not were the only Superboat Vee-class teams that showed up for the event.)

Less than thrilled with parity restrictions placed on the Snowy Mountain Brewery V-bottom—a 29-foot Outerlimits that absolutely dominated the class for two seasons—Michael “Doc” Janssen, the boat’s owner, sat out for almost all of the 2014 season. Based on my recent conversations with him, it’s likely he’ll show up in Key West with his slippery-fast 29-footer, but Snowy Mountain Brewery fans can expect a surprise or two from the team.

Absolutely Not displayed consistency in 2014, but was dominated by the “old” Sun Print boat in the first three races in the season. The Absolutely Not team smartly continued racing when the Sun Print team stopped for the next three races while finishing its new boat, and claimed the title. Still, I believe that if Miklos can get his new ride dialed in between now and the time the first green flag flies in Key West, he’ll take the world title in the class.

That’s it with the exception of the Production Classes—my special bonus prediction—where I expect the 38-foot Fountain Black Pearl in P3 and the 30-foot Phantom Two Cruel in P4, to continue with their winning ways in Key West.

Of course, I could be wrong about all of it, and I suspect that after they read this, every team I didn’t pick will want to prove it. And they might just do it. After all, it’s a brand-new mini-season.

SBI Key West Worlds Preview

By Rachel on October 31, 2014 in Blog


SBI Key West Worlds PreviewMatt Trulio, writer for Offshore Only and Speed on the Water Magazine, has written an awesome PREVIEW to Key West article, covering the competition spread amongst the different classes. Check out a portion of the article below, or click here to read it in full!

A month after the Super Boat International National Champions are crowned in the organization’s various classes—and that happened two days ago in Clearwater, Fla.—an entire “mini season” called the SBI Key West Offshore World Championships begins. Three days of racing off the fabled Florida city produce the world-title holders, and it doesn’t matter who won what during the regular season.

Or does it? In terms of points carried over or anything like that, no. In the SBI Key West Worlds, everyone starts from scratch. World titles are determined by the results in races Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. But when it comes to handicapping and picking favorites in each class, yes, it makes sense to look at what happened during the season.

Hopefully all of the damaged boats are repaired enough to compete tomorrow.

KEY WEST, Florida — Powerboat racers Chuck Broaddus and Grant Bruggemann have piloted Broadco to a second-race-day Superboat-class lead at the Key West World Championship.

Broaddus of St. Clair Shores, Michigan, and Bruggemann of Bradenton turned in an average speed of 102.05 mph Friday and easily outpaced Stihl, who placed first Wednesday. Stihl's driver, Robert Noble of Orlando, reported engine problems, dropped out and finished last in the seven-entry class.

In the Superboat Unlimited class, CMS, with veteran Miami racer John Tomlinson and Jeff Harris of Greenville, North Carolina, retained its lead and achieved an average speed of 107.95 mph, the fastest in the 39-boat fleet.

Hooters-Instigator, piloted by John Stanch of Westmont, New Jersey, and Italy's Giancarlo Cangiano, has the top spot in the Superboat Extreme class.

The championship is set to conclude Sunday.

[Serious News]

Strictly Business and 2nd Amendment must have both broke out on Friday in P-3. That really hurts Strictly Business, they would have been in first place. P-4 is really tight.

Not one single class appears to be settles with the double points being awarded on Sunday's races.

[Ratickle]

Today's races are the same as Wednesday and Friday. Short course, and short number of laps.

Howling winds make for rough boat racing in Key West World Championships
BY SUE COCKINGSCOCKING@MIAMIHERALD.COM

In one of the roughest Key West World Championship finals in recent memory, seven race teams were crowned tops in their classes Sunday and no one was injured.

As winds howled at more than 20 knots out of the northwest, competitors had some scary moments as the frothy chop sent several boats airborne and damaged others so badly they had to drop out.

“It wasn’t just insane, it was brutal,” said Miss Geico driver Marc Granet of Boca Raton who, with throttleman Scott Begovich of Jupiter defended their world title in the Superboat Unlimited class. “Rough water is the great equalizer.”

Miss Geico, a 44-foot lime-green Victory with twin 1,650-horsepower engines, went into Sunday’s final as the underdog after finishing second in Wednesday’s opener and third on Friday.

“We decided our strategy would be to run it all out as fast as we could,” Granet said.

Miss Geico took the lead from the start and never gave it up, averaging 81.2 mph over the bumpy, 41.5-mile course. It was the team’s ninth world championship win in Key West.

Meanwhile, Broadco, a 40-foot MTI with twin 1,020-horsepower engines, won its first Superboat world championship, besting a fleet of eight boats with an average speed of 80.24 mph.

“It was probably the roughest race I’ve ever been in,” said driver Chuck Broaddus of St. Clair Shores, Michigan.

In a turn, bouncing over four-to-six foot waves, Broaddus said he and throttleman Grant Bruggemann of Bradenton were running so close to runner-up WHM Motorsports that “I could have reached out and shook Billy’s hand,” referring to WHM driver Billy Mauff.

Hooters Instigator, driven by Paul Teague of Valencia, California, and throttled by Giancarlo Cangiano of Italy, won the Superboat Extreme class. In Superboat Vee, Snowy Mountain Brewery — with driver Brian Forehand of Wilmington, North Carolina, and throttleman Michael Janssen of Denver — scored a wall-to-wall victory.

In the Stock class, SOS Venezuela — with driver Chris Schoenbohm of Orlando and throttleman Gary Ballough of Boca Raton — came from behind to take the title.

Black Pearl, driven by Gary Jones of Bradenton and throttled by Billy Glueck of Sarasota, won Manufacturer Production 3. In Manufacturer Production 4, it was InTone Crazy Chicken, with driver Dee Early of Buford, Georgia, and throttleman Anthony Silveira of Baltimore.
