Are we only talking about Key West this year and one particular class,or all offshore racing in general???
Correct me if I'm wrong,but O.L and Cig have been
in business for many years and people have had plenty
of opportunities to race their products. I dont follow
racing that close,but wasn't TKO running a O.L last
year?? Part of the problem is lack of factory support,
especially from Cig. Cig could have gone racing anytime
in the last 10 years. Skip Braver was to busy developing
a new line of sportswear, when he should have been
worrying about his suspect stepped hulls handling issues.
And maybe giving support to some racers. Meanwhile
Reggie is out there putting on races & spending money
on bottom R & D. Now all you guys are crying about
playing in Reggies sand box. I only have one thing to
say for 2006. Cig & O.L,put up or shut up!!! Also to
all you na sayers, Never count Reggie Fountain out.
Just because O.L might finally have a race boat,doesnt
mean they will win.

Nobody's crying here Mr. Velocity. We can't be shut out everywhere, and one of these days Reggie will have to run against us, or cigarette. His days of buying championships is coming to an end.

Re: What's this about Reggie not wanting Mike to play?
One more thing all you guys forget. About 15 years back there was
an old man named named Bob Nordskog running in the open water
Pacific. You know,back when there was a few of the "#1
Cigarette race team boats " actually racing,not doing poker runs.
No politics,just racing. Oh and by the way,he was kickin everbodys
azz........in a Fountain!!!!

Tim this is getting old Reggie wrote the rules and he can change them day to day to alter whatever he needs to qualify his boats. He change the same requirement the next day for any other competitor so they can't race. Ok are you shocked!. I'm not. NASCAR don't change the rules day to day nor does APBA's other associations lake series etc. I give up.
