Key West news
I just heard that APBA LLC has moved the World Championship race from Key West to Alabama. Mike what are you thinking? Many others and I have already booked our hotel and airline reservations. I hope this is something that can be changed back to Key West. I personally will race in Key West in November with whatever race organization puts on a race. You can't change a race site just 2 months prior to a race especially the World Championship. We all look forward to this site every year and have made our contacts in Key West from prior years. This will not go over well with sponsors that have already invested money. Please reconsider this decision if it's true.
Your thoughts???

If Key West does'nt happen with Apba, this will be the beginning of the end. This is the worst thing that could happen to offshore racing in an already unstable environment. I think many racers will finally say F--k this sh-t, it ain't worth it.

I know nothing
But, I hear everything, Someone should listen. There are a lot of major players here, not happy. I'll race in Egypt if they have a puddle, but a lot of people dont feel the same way. work it out MEN!

I'm not sure I will even race in KW but just go for the vacation. I don't want to support Lee M. in any way.
Peconic change your vote to vacation in KW not race with LEE most don't want to race with him but have plans to be in KW for that week they cant change.This will cost people there sponsorships. Thanks Lee your greed will go down in offshore history.Talk about back firing in your face!!!
APBA needs better business partners!!!!

Am i missing something here?? I am not condoning Lee in any way but it sounds to me like APBA offshore LLC is the one that is the greedy one here!aren't they the ones wanting the sanctioning money here? The same thing as the real APBA wanting sanctioning money from APBA offshore LLC?

dave,
i feel bad for you. i know you are looking to debut the new 29 open extreme. will the boat be ready in november? keep us posted on the progress of the boat.
unfortunately we should be getting used to schedule changes. it seems to happen often.
