Well Miss Geico fans for the fourth year in a row we were crowned 2009 World Champs in Key West this past weekend. Sorry it has been so long for the posts but it was a very busy end of the year trying to build up to what happened over the weekend. The crew did a great job getting the Mystic ready with some long hours put in but it was worth it. The first two days of racing were awesome as we got into an early lead then just put it on cruise control from there. We did have it won yet because it Aqua Mania had one on Sunday because of the points we would have been tied. The tie breaker would have been based on time so it was still any ones game. Unfortunate Aqua Mania flipped on Saturday during testing and were out of the race. We worked with the team in anyway that we could but it was going to be very unsafe for them to race on Sunday. We of course did not want to win this way because they are a great team and would have loved to race them on Sunday. Thanks everyone for the support over they year it has been tough with all that has gone on for this team. However, in true Miss Geico fashion we came together as a team and made it all work. Don't forget to check out http://www.missgeicoracing.com/ and http://www.amfoffshoreracing.com/ for pics and more updates about what the team will be up to over the winter.

Michigan City
Hello, to all the Miss Geico fans from around the world and Michigan City Indiana. First we would like to thank the town of Michigan City for hosting a great event, possibly one of the best all year. The weekend did not go how we would have liked it with the boat breaking on Saturday during testing and working all night to get it put back together. Then breaking on Sunday two laps into the race it was just not a good weekend for the Mystic but we will get it worked out as we always do for the second leg of the Miss Geico Triple Crown in Patchgoue NY. Thanks to everyone that helped out with the boat on Saturday night without everyones' help we would have not made it to the water on Sunday. Check out www.missgeicoracing.com for more information on upcoming events and of course Miss Geico gear.

Sarasota Grand Prix
Miss Geico cannot think of a better place to spend the Fourth of July then Sarasota Florida. I know its been a while since you have heard from us on here but we have been very busy trying to get the Mystic ready. Sarasota however was great as always! The parade on Thursday night was the best it ever has been and while of course it rained almost everyday we were there, the weather cleared up great for Sunday. It was a great battle at the start with CMS but they had a mechanical issue and were forced out of the race. We look forward to getting to race them again in the near future. As for the Miss Geico team well as I said before we have been working on the Mystic and are getting very close, we plan to race it in Michigan City in a few weeks. Check out http://www.missgeicoracing.com/ for all the information for our next race and of course photos and gear. Thanks to everyone in Sarasota for showing us a great time and we look forward to making it back their next year!

Miss Gecio Triple Crown Round 1
Ocean City Maryland is a town that knows how to host an offshore race. The weather was great, well ok maybe not on Friday night but after that cleared right up. The fans there are amazing, water is great and it was just an all around great weekend. Miss Geico had a great show in OC with Geico Reps coming into town to enjoy the event. We would like to thank Bull on the Beach for taking care of our team with food for the weekend. Seacrets Bar and Grill were great to us with the Friday night party and then the awards on Sunday. The Commander Hotel and the Atlantic Hotel were as always great places to stay. Sunset Marina was awesome with the crane and parking, having no issues as of yet. Most of all the Mayor of Ocean City, Rick Meehan, came to enjoy the event on Sunday in the Geico Hospitality Area. He was very excited about what the race brought to OC and looks forward to event coming back. We would like to thank everyone who came out and showed their support for the first leg of the Miss Geico Triple Crown. Without fans like you we would have not been able to make an event like this happen. Don't forget to check out http://www.missgeicoracing.com/ for all the pictures from the weekend. There has been a change in plans as we head to Ft. Lauder dale this weekend so be sure to head down there and check us out. Thanks again everyone for a GREAT weekend and we cannot wait to come back!

Miss Geico in the Snowy Detroit
Well just like the race in Detroit the boat show proved to be no different. It was great to see the volunteers from the hydroplane races, some city elected officials and of course all the Miss Geico fans! It was a long show but even the snow on the final Saturday could not keep the fans away. We are very excited to head back up there for the Detroit Gold Cup and the St. Clair River Classic. Don't forget to check out http://www.missgeicoracing.com/ for all the pics and more information!
