This year’s 31st Annual Sarasota Powerboat Grand Prix Festival produced by Suncoast Charities for Children is bringing with it many exciting changes as an International Invitational race site. This includes a one hour prime time special on CBS Sports Network July 15 featuring 7 powerboat classes expected to participate.  The inclusion of P1 Aqua X USA (jet ski racers) and P1 Superstock USA (open canopy style race boats) brings with it coverage on Fox Sun Sports and MAV TV.  Powerboat racers will vie to win part of a $70,000 prize purse to be paid out to all those who place. The infusion of television, a significant prize purse, two full days of continuous racing, and having the Awards Ceremony right on the beach behind the Sandcastle Resort is expected to attract a much broader demographic to the Sarasota area and increase participation from racers around the world. This year’s festival offers 9 days of fun and excitement across different venues in Sarasota.
