Hey BRIAN. Are you going to be in the pits doing inspections this year like you did at the 2001 worlds? I plan to race my 26 Sutphen in class 5 this year. I just don't want to get kicked a class because I beat your boats. ERNIE

Let me get this strait. You are telling me what to run for a motor. Just like 2001 when every boat that beat you in the 80mph class ,at the nationals, got kicked up to the 90 mph class at the worlds. It made no difference if we couldn't run that speed safely. The four boats that finished ahead of you were gone. I hope you don't have the same influence with OPA as you had with Allweise.

I did play by the rules racing from Canada to Buffalo and up and down the East Coast. Never broke out. Won by 2 seconds over 26 American offshore. Chris Rendle was 4th. You were 5th , a few min. behind. I still have the lap times and the final positions. The point I am trying to make here is that most of us that raced the curcuit that year, and never broke out , were penalized for no other reason than being in your class. You had a new boat,you wanted to promote it, and the hell with everyone else who had worked so hard to get to the worlds. I was informed 16 hours before the race, I either race P3 , or don't race. I didn't find out until they called my number Boxer P-61. Every boat that beat you at Fountains National Championship was bumped up to P-3. I was told by Mike Tomalson that I should see Mike Allweis after the meeting. Bottom line, If you don't like it, don't race. The other boats didn't have blowers. I hope that you and your boats don't have the same effect on OPA. Best wishes, and a Merry Christmas.
