JBS Racing Demonstrates Boat with New Sponsor

JBS Racing has always impressed us with their boats - and they are at it again. This year the boat features a new paint scheme to highlight the team's new Sponsor, Tumbleweeds Southwest Grill. Here's some video footage of the team running their boat at Tumbleweed at The Waterfront in Louisville, KY.

Of course, you'll notice that the space for running this fast is a little tight, but the boat is nowhere near its top speed, and great precautions were made to clear out the area as the run was taking place (it's still very early in the season, so not a lot of boats are out on the river yet. No doubt this is a great way to get people excited about offshore racing - hats off and best of luck to JBS on their 2011 season!

Big Bad Boat Goes F1 Racing!

Big Bad Boat has just sponsored an entry in the World Enduro Racing series - a virtual F1 racing site where competitors from around the world go head-to-head to see who can get to the top of the leaderboard! The first time we checked this out, I admit to being a little confused, but the more I looked at it, the more attracted I became to the whole idea. After all, it's not every day you get to see your business logo on the side of a race boat, and noting that a number of other respected marine-related organizations (like World of Powerboats, Aerocatch, Viper Marine Group and the OCR Drivers Association) it seemed like a great fit.


Essentially, World Enduro Racing (WER) works like this: The main website is set up like a virtual race, with a directory of competitors - sponsoring race teams - each of whom has their own individual business web page. Each time a visitor clicks on an incoming link (like the one at top left, or in the [B3] web page right hand column, it registers as a "lap" and is automatically tabulated on the WER site's RESULTS page.

It's fun, it's FREE to help us move up in the standings and check on race results, and the site is also a great directory of services and suppliers - not only for marine-related businesses, but for a number of other businesses as well. So please - HELP US OUT AND CLICK ON THE LINKS - so we can start heading to the front of the pack! You can start here right now! Thanks - and if you want to find out more, here's some more information about about WER.
