In announcing the agreement which led to the return of the world’s fastest race boats to Bayfair after a one year absence, H1 Chairman Sam Cole said, “This is a fantastic moment for our sport. To be able to announce that we are racing in San Diego with the Air National Guard as the race sponsor and Degree Men as the presenting sponsor is awesome."

Before getting his first Unlimited ride in 2004, JMK was one of the top drivers in APBA outboard ranks and a three time inductee into the APBA Hall of Champions.

At the 2010 APBA Stock Outboard National Championships  in Oroville, California,  Kelly won the A Stock Hydro Class National Championship on Thursday.  On Friday he added wins in the A Stock Runabout and 25SS Runabout classes.

When he added the C Stock Hydro title on Saturday, he accomplished something that sent historians scrambling through the record books - winning four classes at the Stock Nationals.

The award goes to an individual or team whose effort  produces one of the event's brightest moments.
