Team Blythe Takes the Checkered Flag ... AGAIN!
On June 23, 2002 Carrabba's Team Blythe took the checkered flag in Seaside Heights, NJ. This was the teams first entry into an SBI (Super Boat International) divisional race. Due to recent shoulder surgery, owner/driver Todd Blythe was replaced by new crew member David Flack. David drove the boat alongside throttle man Bob Geoghegan, and were successful in powering the boat across the finish line in first place. It was an easy win for the team as the rough conditions got the best of their competition, some of which left the Jersey shore with bumps and bruises while others were left in the cold ocean water after being thrown from their race boats into the rough waters off Seaside Heights.

Special thanks goes out to Carrabba's Italian Grille in Bricktown, NJ. Owner Dave Rosenberger was a gracious host to the crew of Carrabba's Team Blythe Racing for the entire weekend. The waitresses, hostesses and entire staff of Carrabba's did a wonderful job of making the race team feel welcomed. The winning crew members of the race boat left Carrabba's Italian Grille with big smiles on their faces and memories to last a lifetime. That busy weekend the race boat became a fixture on the main thoroughfare in Bricktown, New Jersey as is was proudly displayed outside the resturant. Thousands of motorists passed by and got a look at the number one boat of it's class in the country.
