World Championship Powerboat Racing
Destin, FL -World Championship Powerboat Racing comes to Destin this year… for the first time and for the next two years as well! This year the Championship has been christened the Merrick’s World Cup Classic. If you’ve never seen these powerful boats in full flight, it is a memorable sight… and sound you’ll never forget! The full week of October 29th thru November 4th will be filled with plenty of excitement… including live entertainment, a golf tournament, auto and motorcycle shows, boat parades and the infamous wet pits (No comment)!
Destin’s spectacular venue is a perfect
match for the powerboat competitors, sponsors and fans alike with a
racecourse layout just off the shoreline of Pelican Beach that gives
spectators outstanding “skybox” seats for every race. At
speeds of up to 200 miles per hour, the powerboats may seem more like
a blurrrrr as they speed by, but pick a favorite and stay with him...
or her, as this year’s race features one of the world’s
top female drivers at the wheel. Don’t miss all the excitement
of the inaugural Merrick’s World Cup Classic in Destin. It’s
one of the few times you’ll have the opportunity to watch the
fastest… and coolest powerboats in the World getting nowhere… FAST!
Yeah, baby!
