Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix Day One: Super Stock And Bracket Class Winners

The oldest saying in offshore powerboat racing is “to finish first, first you have to finish,” and that couldn’t have proven truer as the favorites in Super Stock and Bracket 500 succumbed well before the checkered flag waved on the first day of action at the 39th annual Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix in Sarasota, Fla. Produced by Powerboat P1 , the Grand Prix is the third race of the  American Power Boat Association  Offshore National Championship Series and the second race of the  Union Internationale Motonautique  Class 1 World Championship Series.

In Saturday’s final race, the 11 boats in the Super Stock class took to the Gulf of Mexico. Winds were picking up and there were white caps, but conditions were fast and racy. As they did in the first two races of the season, the 32-foot Victory catamaran, Jackhammer , with owner/driver Reese Langheim and throttleman Julian Maldonado bolted to the lead. Giving chase was a pack of boats including the 32-foot MTI cat, CMR, with driver/owner Sean Conner and John Tomlinson subbing for Shaun Torrente on throttles. Throttleman Rusty Williams and driver Myrick Coil in the 32-foot Doug Wright, Performance Boat Center /FASS Diesel Fuel Systems, were in the mix as were owner/driver Daren Kittredge and throttleman Grant Bruggemann in the 32-foot Doug Wright, Northwing Offshore.

A total of 64 teams descended on the city on the west coast of Florida that has become one of the favorite sites in offshore powerboat racing. A checkered flag from Sarasota is rivaled only by one from the world championships in Key West, Fla., in November. The weekend kicked off with a party on Friday evening where fans could meet the teams at the 10th Street ramp party followed by racing in the bracket 500, 600 and 700 classes and Super Stock boats, plus Class 1 pole position qualifying on Saturday.

The day started with calm conditions, but winds slowly built through the day and temperatures in the mid-90s added to the challenge.

It didn’t take long for the teams in the ultra-competitive Super Stock class to push the limits. The 32-foot Doug Wright, LPC, with owner/throttleman Loren Peters and driver Anthony Smith, started moving up through the fleet when it rolled on the outboard leg of the 6-mile course that had the racers navigating in a clockwise direction. Competition was halted after less than a lap. Peters and Smith were OK and the boat was hauled back to the pits.

The CMR team of Sean Conner and John Tomlinson ran a consistent race to earn the Super Stock-class checkered flag.

The carnage took its toll quickly. In that first lap, the 32-foot Doug Wright, Team Allen Lawn Care and Landscaping, appeared to have something torn off the stern and didn’t make the restart. Neither did the 32-foot Doug Wright, Team Bermuda.

After many Super Stock competitors voiced concerns about quick green flags in Cocoa Beach at the previous P1 Offshore race, the starters made sure the boats were grouped more fairly in Sarasota. When the green flag flew on the restart, Jackhammer jumped to the lead, with CMR, Performance Boat Center and the 32-foot Victory, Big East Construction, which is owned and driven by Cole Leibel and throttled by veteran Gary Ballough, giving chase in a tight pack.

It didn’t take long for attrition to rear its ugly head. Jackhammer had an engine go into guardian mode, which shuts down the 300-hp outboard to prevent more significant damage. “Nothing like stopping and going every 30 seconds,” Maldonado said. “We had a 14-second lead at the start and guardian started and never stopped.”

The team kept the boat on the same lap as the leaders and appeared to just be running for points.

CMR and Performance Boat Center battled for the lead, with each boat enjoying an advantage on different parts of the course.

“In head seas, they’d catch me, and in following seas, I’d catch them, and it went like that for a few laps,” said Tomlinson, who had raced with Coil in the Super Cat class previously and knew that he could enter a turn with his competitor/friend and not worry about any incidents or collisions.

Check out the slideshow above for more images from the Super Stock race.

Unfortunately, the battle to the finish didn’t materialize when Performance Boat Center pulled off with mechanical issues. Big East Construction moved into second and appeared to be in position for a much-needed podium finish until broken motor mounts forced Ballough to shut down one engine and limp around the course attempting to gain as many points as possible.

With CMR in the lead, Torrente, who qualified for the pole position at an F1H2O tunnel boat race on Saturday afternoon in France, watched on his cell phone while eating dinner with his family. Tomlinson and Conner took the checkered flag followed by Pete and A.J. Bogino in the 32-foot Doug Wright, CoCo’s Monkey, and Jackhammer, which kept running because the race isn’t over until the checkered flag waves.

“I’m pacing the streets of France as we walk back from dinner,” Torrente said in a message to speedonthewater.com from overseas. “It was an amazing race. Sean was turning the boat incredibly and Johnny was getting used to the boat and kept getting quicker and quicker. I’m so thankful for him sitting in for me.”

But as we always report on speedonthewater.com, all results are unofficial pending official inspections and video reviews. According to the APBA Offshore Commission chairman Rich Luhrs, four combined lane infractions at the start and post-accident restart that resulted in four yellow cards (Luhrs declined to name the penalized teams.) That, in turn, changed the official finishing order. Though CMR retained the checkered flag, Jackhammer moved into second place, followed by Big East Construction in thrid.

Almost serving as a harbinger of what was to come, the Class 1 boats took to the 6-mile course to see who would claim the coveted inside lane on Sunday afternoon. The boats ran a “get-comfortable-with-the-course” lap and then followed that with two timed laps. The fastest time would give a team the pole position on Sunday. First up was the team of throttleman Steve Curtis and driver Brit Lilly in the 47-foot Victory cat, Huski Ice Spritz.

In the end, owner/driver Darren Nicholson and throttleman Giovanni Carpitella in their own 47-foot Victory, 222 Offshore Australia , posted the fast number of the day—3:05:85. Tomlinson, who is pulling triple-duty this weekend, joined driver Travis Pastrana and clocked the third fastest time of the day in their 50-foot Victory, Pothole Heroes. The other three Class 1 entries had mechanical issues and didn’t complete a lap.

In the Bracket 500 class, throttleman Elijah Kingery and driver Eric Ullom ran a great race in their 29-foot Warlock, Bulletproof/Team Farnsworth.

Whetting Fans’ Appetites The offshore racing action kicked off at 1 p.m. when the Bracket 500, 600 and 700 classes took to the course. Bracket racing takes a different approach because each class has a set speed limit. If a team exceeds the speed limit, it “breaks out” and is penalized for doing so.

The Bracket 500 fleet had nine teams including two 30-foot Phantoms that racing fans would consider to be favorites. Owner/driver J.J. Turk and throttleman Micheal Stancombe were the defending national champions in TFR/XINSURANCE and when the race started, they had a strong challenge from throttleman Elijah Kingery and driver Eric Ullom in the 29-foot Warlock, Bulletproof/Team Farnsworth, and the father-son team of Rob and Vincent Winoski in their 30-foot Phantom, Bronx Phantom.

Bracket racing is about more than just making sure you don’t exceed your class’ listed speed. It’s about letting your competitors drive away from you when they are going faster in the heat of competition and run the risk of doing just that. That story didn’t pan out because TFR/XINSURANCE pulled off the course with a mechanical problem first, followed by Bronx Phantom.

“We kind of knew that Bronx Phantom broke out because we were at 74.9 mph and they pulled away from us so we backed down a bit to make sure we didn’t break,” Kingery said. “We let them go and then when we saw J.J. break, half a lap later, we could hear Bronx Phantom’s motor starting to break up.”

Enjoy more pictures from the Bracket-class competition in the slideshow above.

This may have resulted in a historical finish with two 29-foot Warlocks finishing first and second in an offshore powerboat race. Hammerheads/Fly SRQ with driver Dennis Austin and throttleman Don Jackson took second followed by YabbaDabbaDo with driver Larry James and throttleman J.D. Ivines in third.

The second start of the day featured a deck-to-deck battle in Bracket 600 between a couple of 26-foot Joker V-bottoms for all five laps on the 6-mile course. George Ivey drove his new boat while Damon Marotta throttled Ivey Racing against a pair of 22-year-olds who have a big future in the sport, throttleman Ryan Stahlman and driver Reef Delanos in Freebird.

The two boats appeared to have a rope connecting their admiships cleats at the start. One took the lead and then the other but in the end Freebird continued its momentum after winning in Cocoa Beach.

“I’m definitely hooked,” said Stahlman, who started navigating in his father’s 41-foot Apache, Predator , last year. When asked what he learned from his race in Sarasota, the youngster said, “How to take corners when you have someone with you like that. You have to hold your lane.”

Finally, in the Bracket 700 class, Brian Guy, owner of the 21-foot Superboat, Jackhammer , gave a performance boat enthusiast the opportunity to check an item off his bucket list.

Instead of racing with his usual throttleman, Julian Maldonado, Guy ran with throttleman Francisco Duran, from San Juan, Puerto Rico, who is close with the Maldonado family.

Jackhammer owner and driver Brian Guy won the Bracket 700-class race with Puerto Rican Francisco Duran, who was racing in the United States for the first time, on the throttle.

“He never raced a boat in the states and he always wanted to do this,” Guy said.

Guy added that he broke a couple blades off his prop on the first lap but could still run about 56 to 57 mph in the class bracketed at a top speed of 60. The battle was behind him as a pair of 22-foot Velocitys powered by single Mercury Racing 300Rs fought for position. In the end, Dees Nuts/Meara Classic Cars took second followed by Statement Marine .

As if letting Duran check an item off his bucket list wasn’t enough, Guy’s five-year-old daughter, Kora, also was on hand to see dad win.

“She helps out and is a big supporter of mine,” Guy said.

That’s something attrition can never take away.

Spectators lined the beach in Sarasota to catch the racing action.

Best powerboat racers.

Saturday, September 15 will be the day of London’s Great River Race , which will feature almost every kind of boat you can imagine. Think skiffs, Chinese dragon boats, Hawaiian war canoes, Viking longboats, whalers and more.

Some contestants are in it just to have a laugh. Others, however, are determined to win the 21-mile race from the humming Docklands down the Thames. These athletes are among those who want to make their mark in the boating world — leaving others in their wake. Perhaps they aspire to become the next boating greats.

There are some men who have already achieved that distinction. Meet the world’s best powerboat racers.

Sir Malcolm Campbell

1885 – 1948

British daredevil Sir Malcolm Campbell is the godfather of the human obsession with traveling solo on water at shattering speed. At various times during the 1920s and 1930s, Campbell achieved the distinction of setting world speed records on both water and land. Campbell set the water speed record four times, clocking his fastest time of 141.740 mph on August 19, 1939. His adaptable racing on a range of vehicles made him famous around the globe. Adding to his reputation, he was a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps during the First World War and he won two French Grand Prix in a Bugatti. He was knighted in 1931.

Each of Campbell’s racing cars and hydroplanes was named Bluebird after the play L’Oiseau bleu (“The Bluebird”), by the Belgian dramatist Maurice Maeterlinck. You can see replicas of his Bluebird K4 and its K7 successor on display at the Lakeland Motor Museum in Cumbria, northern England.

Donald Campbell

1921 – 1967

Sir Malcolm Campbell’s son, Donald, continued the great family tradition of setting records on land and water. But Donald Campbell was destined to wind up with an even more spectacular racing resume than his fearless father. Donald Campbell started out zooming about in his father’s old Bluebird K4 boat. After a 170 mph structural failure on Coniston Water, Lancashire in 1951, the budding trailblazer decided to upgrade and develop a new supercharged powerboat: the Bluebird K7. It worked. Between 1955 and 1964, Donald Campbell set seven world water speed records on his K7, reaching 276.33 mph. In 1957, Campbell received a Citizen of the British Empire (CBE) medal. But, eventually, Donald Campbell’s luck ran out when he made yet another stab at breaking the water speed record on Coniston Water. Campbell was topping 300 mph when his supposedly improved K7 took off. His untimely death haunts the British sporting psyche.

Garfield Wood

1880 – 1971

American powerboat ace Garfield Wood ranks as one of the most spectacular characters in the sport’s turbulent history. Blessed with extraordinary drive, the ferryboat operator’s son evolved into an inventive entrepreneur, motorboat builder and racer. Garfield Wood set the world water speed record several times and became the first man to top 100 mph on water. Garfield Wood’s trademark vessel was his Miss America series of “hydroplanes”: light, fast motorboats designed to skim the surface. Wood’s hydroplanes won nine successive races (1920–21, 1926, 1928–33) for the top international prize for motorboat racing, the Harmsworth Trophy. In eight of the wins, Wood drove the winning boat.

In 1925, Wood raced the Twentieth Century Limited train up the Hudson River between Albany and New York, winning by 22 minutes. Besides racing, Garfield Wood concocted hundreds of patents, becoming a multimillionaire. In 1990, long after his death, he won induction into the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America.

Kaye Donsky

1891 – 1981

Widely known as Kaye Don, this Irish speedboat racer started out as a motorcycle competitor but switched to cars and boats. In 1931, Kaye Don was tapped to compete in the Harmsworth Trophy Race on the Detroit River. The event was touted as a face-off between Don and the formidable American Wood brothers – Garfield and George. While training for the Harmsworth, Garfield Wood became the first man to top 100 mph on water. But three days later, riding his Rolls Royce engine-powered speedboat Miss England II, Don became a new water speed world record holder, beating Garfield Wood by just 1.25 mph. Despite his verve, nerve and success, Kaye Don was unassuming. In a speech to the Empire Club of Canada in 1931, when he held both land and water world speed records, Don said “One or two experiences that I have had have been somewhat thrilling”. Supreme understatement.

1939 – Present

Powerboat racing once seemed like a Transatlantic contest with Brits and Americans routinely swapping trophies. But then along came gutsy Australian garage tinkerer Ken Warby. Warby holds the distinction of setting the current world water speed record of 317 mph in 1978. Warby achieved that exploit on Blowering Dam, on the Tumut River in New South Wales in a boat tribally named Spirit of Australia. He designed the hull of his winning super-boat himself, building it with classic Aussie grit in his backyard.

As a child, Warby’s role model was Donald Campbell, who died trying to break the world record in 1967, but retained an aura of heroism. In 1978, Warby was made a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) for his services to speedboat racing. He remains the only person to have topped 300 miles per hour in a boat and lived to tell the story.

NGK F1 Powerboat Championships Inaugural Formula 1 Lake Race

OSAGE BEACH, Mo: The NGK Spark Plugs Formula One Powerboat Championship Series is bringing its world class powerboat racing action to the spectacular Lake of the Ozarks, MO for the first time in history. Building off the momentum of its first two events in Port Neches, TX, the NGK F1 Series comes to Lake of the Ozarks for the 3rd round of the 2021 season. The adrenaline pumping “Formula 1 Lake Race” running as a companion event to the Offshore Powerboat Association’s “Lake Race” at Bagnell Dam on June 3-5, 2021. Lake of the Ozarks, celebrating its 90th Anniversary in 2021, is also the hometown of NGK F1 Series Manager, Tim Seebold. He is excited to bring high octane outboard racing to his hometown, which fulfills a dream he has long envisioned.

Long time Formula 1 racing fans will remember that the state of Missouri was once a stronghold for high stakes tunnel boat racing, as the state hosted the St. Louis Grand Prix dating back nearly 50 years. Originally held at George Winter Park in Fenton from 1972 to 1999, the race moved to Creve Coeur Lake Park starting in 2000. The 37th and last St. Louis Grand Prix race was held in 2008.

Race fans will be transfixed with three days full of fun. Starting Thursday, June 3rd, the public is invited to meet the racers at the Racer’s Reception from 5:00pm to 7:00pm on Camden on the Lake Boardwalk. At noon on Friday June 4th, the race pits will start their set-up followed by a Lake Race Street Party open to the public at Bagnell Dam Strip from 4pm to 10pm. The big Saturday race day action, which includes the different boat racing disciplines; Formula 1, Tri Hull and Offshore, will start with testing at 9:00am and the full-throttle, deck to deck racing action from 11:00am to 5:00pm.

All of the racing action from Saturday will be broadcast via Live Stream from the NGK F1 website www.ngkf1.com and the NGKF1 Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/NGKF1PowerboatChampionship . Utilizing its revolutionary Live Timing system, which allows fans to watch the rapid-paced race positioning in real time while watching the Live Stream. Additional racing action viewing can be found on the American Broadcast Affiliates airing the show on live national television, where an estimated 40+ million viewers will have the chance to watch the event on broadcast and cable television.

NGK Spark Plugs Formula 1 Championship Series Manager, Tim Seebold, expressed his gratitude for the return of F1 racing to Missouri, by saying, “Since the inception of the NGK F1 Powerboat Championship in 2017 we have wanted to bring F1 Powerboat racing back to Missouri. The outboard racing tradition that began 49 years ago (1972) with the Concord Village Lions Club producing the first St. Louis Grand Prix at George Winter park will once again thrill racing fans as the F1 boats light up the waters of my hometown at Lake of the Ozarks, Missouri. It is going to be a special event for powerboat racing fans to see the impressive high horsepower offshore boats, the agile F1 boats along with the crowd favorite Tri Hull division all on the water in the same day. Thanks to Tom Abbett of Lake Race and OPA’s “Smitty” Smith for the shared infrastructure that has made this all possible . We are fortunate and extend our appreciation to Performance Boat Center, Shady Gators, Backwater Jacks, Dog Days, ProServ Business Systems, and Ozark Touchless Covers, The Neon Taco, and Central Missouri Lake of the Ozarks Tri County Lodging Association and all our supporting friends for believing in our vision of bringing these powerboat disciplines together.” OPA’s “Smitty” Smith agreed. “This is great news for the racing community. The NGK Spark Plug F1 series will be joining OPA Racing for the June 3,4,5 Lake Race at Lake of the Ozarks. We have learned through our partnership with P1 Powerboat how powerful these partnerships can be. I have always wanted to watch the F1 boats race, but never had the opportunity to attend one of their events. Thanks to Tim Seebold for reaching out to us. This is going to be a big boost for us all.” For more information about OPA, visit  www.oparacing.org .

“The Lake Race Board is extremely excited with the addition of the NGK F1 Powerboat Series to the 2021 Lake Race event.  We have been discussing this for a few months, and once Tim Seebold and I met at the racecourse site by the Dam, we knew we had to figure out a way to make it happen. This addition of different classes will certainly add to the non-stop, on-track racing action and I cannot wait to see the dead start for the F1 boats from the docks; one of the coolest starts in all of racing!  This addition will be a “must see” for boating enthusiasts and race fans of all ages”, said Tom Abbett, President of the Lake Race Board of Directors.

The price of having a passion for powerboat racing

The cost is high and return on investment negligible, but for boaters like steve kildahl the rush of racing is worth it.

The boats are huge — some teams need two trucks to pull them back into the streets of Sarasota.

The speeds are intense — some can top 185 miles per hour.

And the price tag? That is the heaviest part.

Last year, Scott Colton, team manager for Miss GEICO Racing, said that putting a top class boat on the water could cost a team upwards of $1.5 million.

But what’s the cost for your average Joe? What if you just want to get in the race without putting in hundreds of thousands of dollars?

Steve Kildahl has raced in every single Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix. This will be his 35th race and his 13th with his son, Stephen, who drives his boat while he controls the throttle. He safely knows his way around a powerboat, but he doesn’t race in the fastest, biggest or most expensive boats.

Kildahl’s team, Scott Free Racing, will compete in the Super Vee Extreme class this year. The registration fee for his class is $1,000 and the top prize is only $3,000.

“You don’t do it for the money, you do it for the love of the sport,” Kildahl said, laughing. He said that some of the higher classes don’t even provide prize money for a lot of races to try and reduce costs, even with registration fees approaching $2,000.

Because of this, a lot of teams seek sponsors to keep them in the race, but sponsors still don’t always have provide enough money for boaters to turn a profit on racing. Kildahl’s team’s biggest sponsor is boatfloater.com, but the team is sponsored by a variety of companies.

He said that some big teams might be able to make an income from racing, but most will struggle if profit is their goal. Most boat racers do it as a hobby first, and sponsors cover expenses like travel and maintenance.

The Scott Free boat, along with most boats in its class, cost Kildahl about $90,000. The motor alone is about $25,000 to $35,000, and most teams keep spare motors.

Super Vee Extreme boats don’t have any speed limit. They have a canopy cockpit and a single engine with a length limit of 32 feet. SVX boats are the fastest single engine boat class and sport a V-shaped bottom.

Every boat has a driver, a throttleman and a crew, including a designated crew leader. Everyone has to be registered with the race’s organization — in this case, both the Offshore Powerboat Association and the American Power Boat Association.

Registration for these sorts of organizations can cost anywhere from $3,500 to $,6000, with the price increasing for teams with more members. Some teams also pay their crew members, but Kildahl only has family members on his boat.

Most boats in the SVX class are used, so secondhand boats can be acquired for somewhere between $55,000 and $75,000, depending on the boat and whether or not you’re looking for the full package or just the chassis.

Boat trailers cost between $10,000 and $12,000, with a truck to pull it. Kildahl uses a Ford F-250 to pull his boat, which starts at about $33,000 new. He uses the model’s standard tow rig. Maintaining that truck can add on a few thousand dollars more over time.

Surprisingly, fuel isn’t a huge issue for powerboats in the SVX class. Kildahl’s boat uses regular fuel and his tank is only about 35 gallons, so it will likely cost him around $88 to fuel up for a race.

Kildahl also estimates that he spends around $4,000 to $5,000 in miscellaneous spare parts. He always anticipates more spending because things go wrong during races. Drives, for example, break often and repairing them can cost a team somewhere in the range of $5,500 to $6,000.

Locals like Kildahl get the luxury of avoiding hotel and travel costs, which can quickly run teams an extra $10,000, but these costs are often covered by sponsors.

In total, $170,000 is Kildahl’s final price — just under the annual salary of the average pediatrician, psychiatrist or CEO.

But what does it cost for your most basic powerboat racer to get into the industry?

Kildahl thinks that most people racing in a lower class will have an initial investment of around $20,000, including getting a boat and getting it ready to race.

Extra costs like registration, race fees, maintenance and crew costs can push that number closer to $30,000. The potential cost of necessary repairs is always there, too, so having an extra few thousand dollars on hand for racing isn’t a bad idea.

Class 7 boats, the lowest class, can’t go more than 60 miles per hour and have to be 20 to 22 feet in length. They have an open cockpit unlike the canopy of the higher classes.

The cost may be high and the return on investment may be negligible, but for boaters like Kildahl, the rush of skipping over the water and the reward of figuring out a winning formula comes from a place of passion.

Kildahl and his son will be back on the water around 2 p.m. Sunday for the Super Vee Extreme.

COST TO RACE A SUPER VEE EXTREME POWERBOAT Motor (and spare motor) — $50,000 Registration — $3,500 Trailer — $10,000 Truck (Ford 250) — $33,000 Fuel — $88 Propellers — $1,500 Drives — $5,500 Spare parts — $4,000 Boat (used) — $55,000 Total — $162,588

Is Speed Kills a true story? The real-life speedboat racer and multimillionaire Don Aronow

John Travolta stars as Don Aronow (renamed 'Ben Aronoff' in 'Speed Kills'), the speedboat racer and multimillionaire murdered in 1987.

‘Speed Kills’ the film loosely based on the life of Don Aronow (‘Ben Aronoff’ in the movie) has been released on Netflix US .

American Don Aronow was a designer, builder and racer of speedboats. He launched Magnum Marine in Florida in 1966 and created the Cigarette, Donzi, Formula and Cary speedboats.

His boats went on to win a whopping 350 offshore races and Aronow himself was a two-time world champion and three-time US champion of offshore racing .

His boats, success and wealth also attracted trouble. Drug traffickers used his Cigarette speedboats to move cocaine.

Aronow was murdered in Miami in his car by hitman Robert ‘Bobby’ Young on 3 February 1987. He was 59.

Young was allegedly paid $60,000 to kill Aronow by Benjamin Barry Kramer, an offshore race boat builder and co-defendant who had a dispute with the multimillionaire and racer.

The film, described as ‘Wolf of Wall Street on boats’ was released in 2018 but received a lukewarm reception with eminent film website Rotten Tomatoes giving it an average rating of only 2.6/10 and IMDB 4 out of 10.

Report by Stef Bottinelli

Hit man’s death closes notorious Aronow case

In 1987, hit man Robert ‘Bobby’ Young shot powerboat mogul Don Aronow in his Mercedes sports car. Young, paid $60,000 for the contract murder, achieved such notoriety for the gangland-style killing that he secured a place in the pantheon of South Florida assassins.

Young, 60, died on Tuesday 31 March 2009 at Jackson Memorial Hospital, apparently of natural causes, authorities said.

“He finally got what he deserved from a higher authority, the death sentence,” said retired Miami-Dade police Detective Greg Smith, lead investigator of the Aronow murder.

Miami-Dade police pursued the ambush slaying for six years, interviewing terrified witnesses and investigating a twisting path of coincidences, murders, mistresses, mobsters, dopers, spies, jealous boyfriends and snitches before finally stumbling upon Young.

“Robert was a cold-blooded killer. He was full of bravado, and very much into himself,” said Assistant State Attorney Gary Winston, who put Young away for Aronow’s slaying in 1995.

“He would love to talk and reveal in what he had done. He was cold and heartless.”

Young had been incarcerated at the Federal Detention Centre in downtown Miami before recently falling ill. He served his sentence for the Aronow murder in Oklahoma, at the same time he was incarcerated in federal prison for cocaine trafficking.

He returned to South Florida in 2001, having fled Oklahoma while on parole before being arrested in Broward County in October 2001 after his ex-brother-in-law gave federal agents his address.

Young was found to have a revolver and $75,000 on him.

After being sentenced to ten years for having the handgun, he was recorded on the Federal Detention Centre phone talking to an associate about planting an assault rifle on his former brother-in-law, according to court records.

“I was very upset I was betrayed by my own family,” Young told a federal agent in 2004.

“I was just broken-hearted and figured maybe justice could be done. I could set him up by putting the rifle into his vehicle and having him arrested. ‘Let him feel the same pain, suffering and fate that I was feeling,” he said.

In January, Young was sentenced to a 27-year prison term for owning the assault rifle. It was but the latest felony conviction in the life of a serial criminal, whose brazen violence was part of the so-called Cocaine Cowboy era in Miami. Young boasted of involvement with gun-running, prostitution rings and violence during the 1970s.

Later, he was thrown in a Cuban jail after island authorities found him on an offshore racing boat with 300 pounds of marijuana. In 1984, he was released along with 21 other Americans in a deal engineered by civil rights leader Jesse Jackson.

Back in Miami, Young hooked up with a group of dope peddlers who considered themselves a new version of the 1960s Dixie Mafia crime group. He was convicted for the 1984 murder of Dixie Mafia member John ‘Big Red’ Panzavecchia, in a drug deal gone wrong.

After he shot Big Red dead, Young took the man’s solid gold Rolex, former Miami homicide Detective Nelson Andreu remembered on Tuesday.

“Bobby took it as a prize and was wearing it when we arrested him,” Andreu said. “Looking back, Young was lucky to escape the electric chair.”

In 1995, he pleaded no contest to the contract hit of Aronow, the powerboat king. He had cut a deal with state prosecutors that spared him the electric chair and ensured he would never testify against Benjamin Barry Kramer, offshore race boat builder and co-defendant who allegedly paid Young $60,000 to hit Aronow.

In 1996, Kramer, who once owned a casino and raced powerboats, pleaded no contest to ordering the killing of his rival, Aronow. Kramer, already serving a life sentence on federal drug-smuggling charges, received 19 years in prison – the same time amount of time as Young.

Aronow, 59, a rich and handsome millionaire among the powerboat set, was killed Feb. 3, 1987, outside his USA Racing office in 188th St, Miami – the road dubbed Thunderboat Alley Aronow made famous with his Formula, Donzi, Magnum and Cigarette power boats.

Aronow left his office in his white Mercedes, shortly after visiting a rival boat dealership owned by Kramer. He pulled alongside a Lincoln car with tinted windows. It was from here the hit man opened fire, three bullets striking the powerboat star.

On Tuesday, Smith, the retired detective, called Aronow’s widow, Lillian, to break the news.

“He certainly deserved more than what he got for the death of her husband,” he said.”She was relieved knowing he died in custody.”

Emile Hirsch Still Thinks 'Speed Racer' Was Ahead of Its Time

• Emile Hirsch says that Speed Racer , directed by The Wachowskis, was ahead of its time with unique visual storytelling.
• The movie utilized motion capture and 3D cameras, blending CGI with real-world locations.
• Similar to the 1967 anime, Speed Racer eventually earned a cult following and is now considered a great film.

Back when Speed Racer premiered in 2008, it received a pretty mild welcome from both critics and fans. The reception is still registered at Rotten Tomatoes : It earned a lousy 42% approval rate from critics and a just-OK 60% audience score. And yet… it was a general feeling that there was something about it. In an interview to MovieWeb to promote his new movie Prey , Emile Hirsch decided to take a trip down memory lane and talk about how the perception of the movie directed by The Wachowskis ( The Matrix film series ) has changed over the years.

During the interview, Hirsch revealed that himself, the cast and crew were all baffled by the general reactions when the movie came out: "' I remember we were all like, 'Man, this movie so good. How come nobody gets it? '” At the same time, Hirsch mentions the fact that both Lana and Lilly Wachowski tend to be ahead of their time when it comes to visual storytelling. And it wasn’t any different with Speed Racer :

"They'd never really done that before in a movie. And kind of the really unique editing that they did on the film, to have all these different techniques and shifting things, it had a lot of aesthetic elements that audiences just at the time were totally not used to in any way. But since the years have gone on, those techniques have been used and employed in many, many other different films now."

Emile Hirsch Explains How The Wachowskis "Tricked" 2008 Audiences

The actor explained that there was a lot of motion capture involved in the production of Speed Racer , as well as the use of 3D cameras – which at the time audiences were mostly not used to. Another element that alienated viewers was that a lot of the movie’s landscape was perceived as full-blown CGI , when it wasn’t exactly like that in reality: “They photographed all these famous landmarks around the world. So when you're watching a lot of these race sequences, you're not watching CGI-created things. You're watching actual, photographic, 3D, real things that have been scanned into computers from photographs, and then collaged together."

Hirsch also pointed out the irony of the fact that Speed Racer – the movie – ended up having the same fate that Speed Racer – the 1967 anime series – did. Back when the children’s cartoon premiered, it was only mildly successful: It ran for only 52 episodes, which is a small episode count when you compare it to other kids’ shows. However, the anime earned a cult following and became a huge pop cultural reference, and the same happened with the movie . Now, sixteen years after its premiere, Speed Racer is wildly considered a great movie that was years ahead of its time.

Hirsch’s next movie Prey is now available in theaters and on Digital.

Speed Racer

Born into a family business of race cars, Speed Racer (Emile Hirsch) is one of the track's hot stars. Sitting at the wheel of his Mach 5, he consistently deflates the competition. When Speed turns down an offer from the head of Royalton Industries, he uncovers a secret. Powerful moguls fix the races to boost profits. Hoping to beat the executive, Speed enters the same arduous cross-country race that killed his brother.

No. 7 PPM 963 claims second IMSA enduro of the year at Watkins Glen

By Richard S. James June 23, 2024 6:40 PM

By Richard S. James | June 23, 2024 6:40 PM ET

The Sahlen’s Six Hours of the Glen was a matter of 4h40m of survival, some massive strokes of luck that looked awful and turned positive, and 16 minutes of sprint racing.

A sudden downpour that began with 1h46m left in the race sent several cars sliding off track which triggered a full-course caution. That became a red flag as water overwhelmed the track and cars could barely stay on the pavement even behind the safety car. By the time the race went green with 16 minutes left, it had undergone a complete reset.

Before the yellow flew, all the GTP leaders came in for wets. Both Porsche Penske Motorsport 963s got trapped in their pit boxes in the crowded pit lane, and while the No. 6 and No. 7 had been first and third, respectively, they ended up fifth and sixth while the two Wayne Taylor Racing with Andretti Acura ARX-06s led the field, the No. 40 leading the No. 10.

When the red changed back to a full-course caution and the field was back under the safety car, all the cars that had pitted for wets came back in for slicks, as the track was nearly dry again. Louis Deletraz in the No. 40 Acura led, but Felipe Nasr in the No. 7 Porsche had come out of the stop in second, followed by Renger van der Zande in the No. 01 Cadillac Racing V-Series.R, Mathieu Jaminet in the No. 6 PPM 963 and Connor De Phillippi in the No. 25 BMW M Team RLL M Hybrid V8.

The restart was delayed by the No. 10 Acura losing a wheel, leaving only 16 minutes of intense racing to go. When it came, it was almost a replay of the start 5h45m prior, when polesitter Deletraz was swamped by the cars behind as he struggled to get temperature in the tires. Nasr and van der Zande were by quickly, Nasr making his move in Turn 1 at the green. Jaminet followed a short time later, pushing Deletraz back to fourth.

With the No. 01 Cadillac now on the tail of the No. 7 Porsche, van der Zande started pressuring Nasr, but Nasr’s decisive moves in traffic kept van der Zande at bay. Nasr crossed the finish 0.749s ahead of the Cadillac, giving him and Dane Cameron their second win of the season after the Rolex 24 at Daytona and padded their GTP championship lead over van der Zande and Sebastien Bourdais. In this sixth race of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship season, Cameron and Nasr became the first team to win more than one race. The sister 963 of Jaminet and Nick Tandy was third, and Deletraz and Jordan Taylor fourth as the top four finished in championship order.

With newly minted 24 Hours of Le Mans winner Nicklas Nielsen in the No. 88 ORECA for its final stint, AF Corse took the LMP2 victory, with Nielsen, Luis Perez Companc and Lilou Wadoux Ducellier. The No. 88 was nearly taken out a couple of times, once on the first lap as Dwight Merriman poked the nose of the No. 18 Era Motorsports ORECA inside and spun Companc, and at the end of the race when Felipe Fraga tried a similar move, but only spun the No. 74 Riley Motorsports ORECA.

Fraga recovered to finish third on the track, but the second-place No. 04 CrowdStrike Racing by APR team of Colin Braun, George Kurtz and Toby Sowery fell afoul of drive-time rules, so Fraga, Gar Robinson and Josh Burdon claimed second. The No. 52 Inter

Europol by PR1 Mathiasen Motorsports ORECA of Jakub Smiechowski, Tom Dillman and Nick Boulle finished third.

The GTD PRO and GTD classes really came down in large part to luck. Cars that didn’t get into the pits for wets before the full-course caution and closed pit that preceded the red flag seemed screwed at first, but were saved by the long red flag. With dry tires already on the car when the race restarted, they didn’t need to visit the pits again and gained track position.

GTD PRO’s top three followed suit, led by Tommy Milner in the No. 4 Corvette Racing by Pratt Miller Motorsports Z06 GT3.R, followed by Ross Gunn in the No. 23 Heart of Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo and Marvin Kirchhöfer in the No. 9 Pfaff Motorsports McLaren 720S Evo.

Gunn hounded Milner and attacked several times, but couldn’t get the move done. Milner’s defense of the lead came to nought because the Corvette had had its final pit stop earlier than the others and was low on fuel. Milner pulling into the pits for a splash as the final lap began handed the victory to Gunn and Alex Riberas. It was Heart of Racing’s first victory of the season in the WeatherTech Championship, as well as the first for the Evo version of the Vantage GT3.

Winward Racing found itself in a similar situation, having been on slicks through the red flag and ready to go as the race resumed on a dry track. Winward took the GTD victory for Russell Ward, Philip Ellis and Indy Dontje in the No. 57 Mercedes AMG. It was the team’s fourth GTD victory in five races this season, and Winward has swept the Michelin Endurance Cup races so far.

Ellis had to fend off the No. 120 Wright Motorsports Porsche 911 GT3 R with Jan Heylen at the wheel at the end, but Heylen, Elliot Skeer and Adam Adelson didn’t end up with second due to a drive time violation. The No. 34 Conquest Racing Ferrari 296 GT3 of Manny Franco, Albert Costa Balboa and Cedric Sbirrazzuoli was second, followed by John Potter, Andy Lally and Spencer Pumpelly in the No. 44 Magnus Racing Aston Martin Vantage GT3 Evo.
