Blake Gratton

Biography & Statistics

Based in Sarasota, Florida

Twin brothers Brock and Blake have been apart of the Offshore Racing family for well over 15 years now. Being sons of legendary Throttleman Joey Gratton, they've had the opportunity to learn from the best of the best. They've spent many hours of test time with their father whether it be a stock cat outboard to a Super Cat. In 2004 they had their debut and raced in the Suncoast Offshore Grand Prix where Brock raced with his father Joey Gratton and Blake raced with National Champion Matt Rice. They got a taste of what it was like to compete and they've been working towards getting in a boat ever since that day.

In 2011 Blake and Brock Gratton were presented with an opportunity to race a P1 Superstock USA boat in San Diego, CA. It took a race to get a feel for the boat and after starting from the back of the pack they managed to take a 5th place in their first race. From there they captured 2nd place in the pole and finished their very next race in 2nd place. In their final race they managed to chase down the leader only to over trim the boat (looking for more speed) which in turn put the motor in guardian causing them to shut the motor down and repower up. They finished in 4th and 3rd place over all for the weekend.

This lead to a full ride and sponsorship for the 2012 season and they're very much looking forward to competing and taking home the checkered flag and 2012 P1 Superstock National Championship.
