Carrabba's Team Blythe Takes Second Place in Daytona



The Daytona Harley Davidson Offshore Grand Prix race took place in Daytona Beach, Florida from April 11 to April 13 and Carrabba's Team Blythe came in second place to start out the 2003 race season. The boat was driven by owner, Todd Blythe and Dave Flack was the throttleman. Thousands of beach goers, boaters, fishermen and fans got a chance to see the Carrabba's race boat. Be sure to catch the race on OLN or FOX Speed Channel. Please check your local listings for times and dates.

Race week consisted of boats on display in the dry pits which were strategically located at Riverfront Park on the main drag in Daytona. This was directly across the street from Daytona Harley Davidson which is the largest Harley dealership in the world, drawing crowds on it's own. All the team's boats were lined up for race fans of all ages to come and get a close look. Our boat was also proudly displayed at the Daytona Carrabba's Italian Grill during race week. The patrons of the restaurant got a chance to see the boat and to meet the race team.

A special thanks to John Tinstman, proprietor of Daytona Carrabba’s and his staff for their hospitality and support while we were in town. As always the food and the fans at the restaurant were out of this world, thanks guys and we will see you next year!
