Ya ever wonder why
there's an alphabet soup of sanctioning bodies
out there in motorsports land?

It's 'cause everybody doesn't want to do things
the same exact way.

Personally, I think the SBI rulebook
is written/laid out the way it is
JUST to scare away folks
that wanna complain about RULES
and the enforcement thereof.

F'rinstance, in SBI F-2,
it would appear the only IMPORTANT rule is:

To finish first, you must beat Reggie Fountain's boys.

You like this rule?
Then You race SBI.

Don't like this rule?
Find an organization with rules you like.

First I would like to say i am new to the site and I think it's great. I have been reading all of the posts regarding the SBI race and the possibility of cheating. I have been jumping back and forth from the SBI site to the APBA site and I must say it does appear there may be something going on. If you look at the average speeds of F-2 in SBI and F-2 in APBA there is a susbstancial differance actually 5 tp 6 MPH. From talking to people at both events the water was about the same. NOW HERE IS THE INTERSTING PART! Muscle Racing is a SUPER V with (Twin 1000s I believe). Invensys Fountain is a factory 2 with (twin 500's). Now there average speed is only 2 miles an hour less then the super V's. I have a hard time with this. I am dialing in my 37 Outerlimits with twin staggered 500 efi's. I am planing to start racing it in June in SBI. I promise you, If they want my boat in there circuit the first 3 boats are going to be dynoed or I will be putting up my checkbook for The $2500 to have the winners motors torn down. I did not just get done spending over $400k to get beat by racer's using questionble methods or "Bumping it up" as another member referred to in an earlier post.

Hi Phillip, Thank you! No I wasn't at Skaterfest. My Skater is having it's new Sterlings installed this week and should be ready for the Long Weekend. I wish I could have made it!! I use my Skater for pleasure. I just set up an Outerlimits that will be ready for racing in June!

Philip

NYspeeddemon, Outerlimits, F-2? you should have stopped in. Mike D' From Sterling was there both days. You could have gotten him to throw a few more HP in. Which engines are you getting? Where do you run the Skater? what is the name? we run a 32' classic outboard.

NYSpeeddemon

I wasn't at the race this past weekend. My Skater is named The Ultimate Sin. My outerLimits will be named what ever the sponsor with the most money wants it to be. I keep my boat in Jersey but do a lot of New York boating in the Summer California in the winter.

Philip

NYspeed, Good luck with the OL, I am sure that by the time you start to race it you will be one of the OSO family, and we will be cheering you on. I will watch for your first start, and then your first win. Hope to see your Skater some time this summer. If you see a 32' Skater trying to catch you, (note i said trying) stop and say hello.
Philip
