Climb into the Cockpit of the Country's Fastest Offshore Race Boat at Marathon Superboat Grand Prix
AMF set to raise the stakes and fans' excitement
MARATHON, Fla., May 18 /PRNewswire/ -- Few offshore racing venues rival the up close accessibility offered at the Super Boat Grand Prix in Marathon, Florida. A perch atop the Overseas Highway gets the serious racing fan as close to the cockpit as possible. AMF Offshore's "Miss GEICO" racing team is looking forward to giving fans a first hand look at why they're considered the fastest team on water.
"Marathon is an ideal racing experience," said Scotty Begovich, Miss GEICO throttleman and veteran of the extreme sport. "The course allows for straight runs of open water which means I can pull back and really show off the capabilities of our boat."
Powered by the same engines that flew U.S. military helicopters in the first Gulf War, Miss GEICO features unparalleled performance and promise. "Our season has been exciting so far," said Driver Marc Granet. "We've had races where we answered all questions regarding our standing as the fastest offshore team. But, we've also seen a couple of races like Biloxi where technical difficulties got between us and our goals. As we head into summer we're ready for whatever comes our way, and we're counting on a top ranking as part of the package."
