Dumbest move ever by SBI. This hobby/sport is already struggling for fan retention, and now you're screwing the casual fan by charging fees? That's great, pay 50 bucks to see two ul class boats for 3 laps until one dies, and the other cruises slower than a jet ski to the win.

BTW, don't blame this silliness on Florida, come on down, the waters are just fine. :-).

I've watched both races on NBC Sports the last two weeks and SBI should be embarrassed. They talked about 7 classes and you only see the top 3. You cannot tell me there was no good racing in SV light and Stock. P3 and P4 barely got talked about.

Yes we all would like a state of the art muli angle shoots with great announcers. And yes I think its crazy to charge to watch it but I also remember not to long ago that there was no way to even know about what happened at a race till days later and that was second hand info at best. I will pay to watch if that is what it takes to get live coverage. I happen to be very passionate about racing. Some how these shows need to be paid for. I agree the average fan will not pay but most passionate fans don't mind spending a couple bucks to watch what they like. Are we really complaining about a $5.99 cost ?
