Rough Seas at the New Jersey Grand Prix

New Jersey Grand Prix was held in Brick, New Jersey from June 26th to 27th and Carrabba's Team Blythe was on hand. The boat was driven by owner Todd Blythe and throttled by Glenn Wilson. The seas were huge that day! Big waves are where Team Blythe runs the best and showed it by coming in a close second. During the race the team encountered it's first mishap in the boat and racing teams history. The boat hooked in the rough waters and threw throttle man Glenn on top of driver, Todd. Luckily Glenn was not thrown from the boat and came through with some minor scrapes and bruises. They had to pull off the race course to make sure Glenn was okay to continue. Once the situation was assessed the team got back on course, caught up to the pack, and managed to get a second place finish in these very rough seas off of Brick, New Jersey.

While in Brick, New Jersey the team took time to stop at the local Carrabba's Restaurant to enjoy some fabulous service, food and fun. A very special thanks goes out to the owner, Chris Blythe and this staff. The boat was on display in front of the Restaurant for the entire race weekend where thousands upon thousands of passerby's can see the boat and even stop to get an up close look. Some lucky fans got to meet the team and where the recipient of some free complementary gifts and photos.
