Wow, all reports from Key West are saying the fleet for the Superboat Unlimited class will be the largest ever assembled, nine competitors. We will update this story as it progresses, but we wanted to make sure you were prepared for the 1:30 PM start today. We figured a short blip is better than no blip, sorry. The races will be carried on Livestream starting at 9:30, so if you're not in Key West, watch if you get the chance because the Wednesday races are short.

Not the best start with three damaged boats.

Four out of nine boats not being able to finish was unfortunate.

After striking Alex and Ani, right, CMS, center, driven by Bob Bull and Randy Scism, collides with Duval House/Airway Aerospace, left, during the start of the Superboat Unlimited class race Wednesday, Nov. 5, 2014, at the Key West World Championship in Key West, Fla. CMS sustained damage and Bull and Scism were forced to drop out, but believe they will have repairs completed in time for the second of the three-race series set for Friday, Nov. 7.

With the breakdown, unofficially Miss Geico first, CMS 3 second, and CRC third.
