 Race boat I saw on the highway today! I saw this bad boy on the highway today driving back home to Tampa. Not sure what race / event may have been going on this weekend but damnit, I missed another one!  I've been trying to get in and photograph an event for a long time now. Seems like somehow I always seem to miss them. It is right up my alley, unfathomably fast machines with ungodly amounts of horsepower. I approve! :thumbsup: Some quick cell phone pictures from my iPhone, this boat was MASSIVE. What a freaking beast. I held up traffic staring this thing down, it was beautiful.  How fast do you think this sucker would hit on the waters?! If anyone has any connections in the boat racing world and they would have any interest in photography at a run in exchange for a seat on a boat, please pass my info their way.  It would be severely appreciated!- Chris

| That boat is heading home after the 25th running of the Sarasota Grand Prix Offshore Power Boat Race Sunday July 5th! During Saturday's speed trials, the top speed acheived was 184 MPH hampered due to heavy cross winds. |

Were you at the event? I wish I had known about it. I live in Tampa! It was right in my damn back yard. I would have killed to photograph that but didn't even know about it. Where can I go about getting an event listing for these races? I live in Florida of all places, I should be bombarded with events.
