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 !

Thank you John C. After some deliberation, I cancelled all plans for my wife and I to ever attend Key West races again, I guess all history comes to an end at some point, I hope to write my book sometime. 7XCHAMP

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.... )
