Welcome back to 321 Lift Off! Today we speak with Thunder on Cocoa Beach Event Directors Kerry Bartlett and Mike Schwarz.

Twelve years ago, four local guys decided to start Thunder on Cocoa Beach. Over the twelve years, the Directors and longtime friends - Kerry, Mike, Rich, and Kevin - have created a family, fun-filled, four-day event that has grown in scope of race events, participants, ecologic attention, and effects on the local community.

We are at Fishlips in beautiful Port Canaveral, discussing the adrenaline these powerboats bring to Cocoa Beach, the competitive edge needed for speed boat racing, and this year's schedule of events featuring more world-class race teams than ever before!
