“
Sarasota will have the biggest fleet of the season. It’s super-cool for what has become my hometown. The town and local fans are definitely excited about the return of racing for the 40th year. We are having an open-house cocktail party at our shop (Kinetic Animation in Bradenton, Fla.) on Thursday night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the Offshore Vintage Museum.

With five events in the books so far, the American Power Boat Association Offshore National Championship Series has averaged 43.6 registered boats per event. The Powerboat P1-produced Cocoa Beach event in Florida attracted a series-high 58 teams, while the Race World Offshore Ocean City Grand Prix—a new event this year for the Key West, Fla., race-producer this year—attracted a season-low 32 boats.
But with 64 teams registered so far and a full week before the first green flag flies, the P1-produced 40th anniversary Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix in Southwest Florida is on track—by far—to have the best team-turnout of any event of the 2024 APBA series.
“Sarasota will have the biggest fleet of the season,” said Ryan Beckley of the Super Stock-class Atlas/Professional Plumbing team. It’s super-cool for what has become my hometown. The town and local fans are definitely excited about the return of racing for the 40th year.
“We are having an open-house cocktail party at our shop (Kinetic Animation in Bradenton, Fla.) on Thursday night from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. for the Offshore Vintage Museum,” he added.
As it has for the past few years, the Super Stock class tops the roster with 11 registered teams. But with 11 teams signed up, the Mod V class is right there with the Super Stock group. Super Cat has a super-solid seven teams in for Sarasota, and Class 1 will match its season-high turnout so far with five teams registered.
Seven also happens to be the lucky number (of teams) for the 450R Factory class.
The Super V ranks have already matched their season-high registration with three teams—enough to fill a podium, at least. But even with just three Super V teams on the course, the class with make more noise than any other category in the Sarasota mix.
On the Bracket-class side, nine 500-class teams have signed up so far, as have a season-high six teams for the Bracket 700 class.
