The 2013 Key West World Championships of powerboat racing takes place Nov. 3-10th. The races are the equivalent to NASCAR on the water, complete with roaring engine, tight turns, and lots of enthusiastic fanatics. Grab a seat on one of the many key west beaches (Fort Zach is my favorite!) and watch the excitement. The boats will also be on display between races. This is a great chance to get up close and personal with these super machines, and the fearless people that drive them. See the complete schedule below for details.
