Each November Key West hosts the World Championship Power boat races. The event is usually in mid Novemeber and takes place over 5 days. The most unique element of the event is how close the race is to shore providing land based spectators one of the best views of any offshore power boat race. The races are open to the public and can be seen for free anywhere along the Key West waterfront. Imagine standing in Mallory Square or sitting in an outdoor restaurant or bar and watching boats with 3000+ horse power scream by at over 125 mph as helicopters chase them all within 40-50 feet from where you are. Its an incredible experience. Bill Klipp takes photos as a private individual and free lance photographer.
