Yes, indeed - What a way to build the "sport" - !
it always was MONEY MONEY MONEY - for the racers - now its money money money for the producers -
Some day - it will just be like the old days - the racers meet - hold a informal meeting - let the fans see and touch the boats - watch the race - and enjoy - EVERY THING would be FREE then - and the " sport" would grow and grow -
a shame !

Glad you enjoyed the poem.......
Sorry about the KW thing.... We always had media or racer passes, otherwise we would have wound up God know's where with a bunch of drunks........ (Wayne Vickers excluded of course....  )
