Team Info

Framed Offshore Racing is a Limited Liability Corporation owned by Michael Flammia and John Jeniec Jr. The National and World Championship team is based out of Key West Florida, the home to the World Offshore Racing Championship!

In the 1970’s, The Benihana Offshore Grand Prix paved the way for what is known today as one of the most prestigious water sports in the world: Offshore Powerboat Racing. Today, RWO brings unparalleled excitement to waterfronts across the United States. As the premier sanctioning bodies for the sport, RWO continues to elevate the profile of offshore racing by refining the organization’s rules and goals, expanding participation categories, and bringing national attention and television coverage to the sport. Indeed, the appeal of offshore racing is hard to resist; a warm-weather sport with sandy beaches as grandstands, big city skylines as backdrops, and funky beachside villages where fans can partake of food, drinks, and entertainment. RWO has brought back a time reminiscent of the popular old Benihana Grand Prix. Welcoming racers and fans from across the country and around the world. RWO is taking offshore racing to a level of popularity never before seen!

John - Driver

John has enjoyed being on the water and in the outdoors his whole life. Growing up in Florida gave him an appreciation and love for the water. At the age of 14 John moved to Virginia with his family and found his career passion. Serving the community through the fire service was his calling, which led to volunteering though High School and College. In the fire service he was able to not only serve the community, but also include his love for the water. John utilizes his experiences managing high pressure citations while behind the boat. He and his wife Ashley have been married for 12 years and have two children. He is very excited to be a part of the ever growing sport of Offshore Boat Racing with his good friend and throttleman Michael Flammia!

Mike - Throttleman

Mike was born and raised in Fairfax, VA. His dad was a winning top fuel racer in the late 1960’s thru the late 1980’s. Growing up around boats his whole life, boat racing was in Mike’s blood. Electrician by trade, he started his Virginia based commercial electrical company in 1993. He and his wife of 12 years, Jennifer, started coming back to Key West for the boat races 8 years ago. After the trips started to get longer, they decided to buy a home, 2 art galleries, and relocate to Key West full time. The love of boat racing never wavered and after
sponsoring a competitive race boat, Mike decided to jump straight in and start his own race team with best friend, John Jeniec.
