MARATHON, Fla. (AP) Bruce Kruglick and David Branch inched
closer to capturing a national Super Boat International title for
their class with a victory at the Marathon Super Boat Grand Prix in
the Florida Keys.
Superboat Vee-class racers Kruglick and Branch, of Sarasota,
drove their 41-foot boat ``Muscle'' at an average speed of 98.11
mph, the fastest of the 17-boat fleet. The 16-lap, 99.8-mile race
course took racers underneath both the new and old Seven Mile
bridges.
``Before we came to this race, we knew we just needed to get
through the bridge first (on the first lap) to have a chance at
victory,'' Kruglick said Sunday.
