KEY WEST, FLORIDA – NOVEMBER 7 – 13 1999  

 World Champions Again!  

 BOARDWALK RACING  Teams With  MERCURY RACING   

Completing their very successful 6-year commitment with Pennzoil / Quaker State, Nicky Cutro’s Boardwalk Racing Team coupled with Mercury Racing this week and captured the SBI Pro1 World Championship for 1999.   This event followed a two-race format in the frothy waters off  Key West, with Nicky finishing second on Wednesday and first on Saturday, averaging 78.3 MPH . The margin of victory Saturday was enough to  clinch the title.  ESPN-2 will broadcast this race Sunday, November 28^th, 8PM and again on Wednesday, December 1^st, 1PM. Cutro handled the throttles and substituted Factory Class driver Troy Hanna on Wednesday and Citre Shine (S1) driver Paul Whittier on Saturday.  Extra weight in the bow and drafting were the "Key's" to victory in this race as the conditions were rougher that usual. The storm course was shortened in the interest of safety. 

Commenting racing with Team Mercury ...“ This is a natural fit…” quoted Nicky “…we’ve been involved in their research and development effort for quite some time now and Key-West is always a great place to showcase our efforts.”  (The team is looking to secure a new national sponsor for the coming Y2K program)  “We had a great run with Pennzoil / Quaker State, but with the merger…we’re looking for a sponsor that can make full use of our marketing abilities.”

 The 1998 – 1999 seasons have been outstanding for the Boardwalk Team. Two time World and National Champion Nicky Cutro’s 17 years of offshore racing experience proved nearly unstoppable on the national circuit, finishing at least second place in all of their races and first place finishes in Chesapeake, St. Petersburg, Lake Winnipesaukee, and New York.
