Did you hear we lost another boat company owner. Outerlimts owner was in his 50 ft boat. The original owners of Outerlimits were in a crash at LOTO 2014 and passed away. I feel for this company and families.

Yes...very tragic to lose Mike Fiore BBp. One of the greats in the sport of boat racing & a true family man. He will be missed.

It sure can T550. They say it’s the only racing sport where the track conditions are always changing in the extremes. Certainly not for the faint of heart.

Joe Sgro, Outer Limits President, was the driver (throttling at the time of the accident) who died in that Vee bottom down in Florida on 9 November.

His (and Forehand's) 2014 Vee Bottom record still stands today at 180.47 mph breaking Reggie Fountain's (& Ben Robertson's) 10 year, 174 mph record set back in 2004.

Fiore and Sgro are now racing the Heaven's together.
