I am going to urge everyone to go to www.apbaoffshore.com and read the story I have posted on the front page so that you have ALL THE INFORMATION from that meeting.

The only additon to that story is that Sarasota confirmed their dates as above in August during the meeting, which I greatly apoligize for omitting. (2/1/04 - A press release was sent to Bob Bull, Jim Poplin and Anthony Puccio for their review announcing Sarasota.)

Please make sure to send anyone who is interested in the details on the meeting to www.apbaoffshore.com for the FULL STORY that I have written, and if you pass the information on, it would be greatly appreciated if you would NOT take parts out of context, as it is unfair to the reader, and to APBA Offshore without the entire information being available.

Thanks
Michelle May - Schmidt

FYI, the Ft. Lauderdale Race is NOT September 4th. It is slated for September 04 and we have not confirmed my date as of yet, as I am still attempting to work around other schedules.

I think that everyone at that meeting agrees none of us wants to list a "tentative schedule" of races to the public, and the disclosure of the sites "under negotiation" was a good faith effort by the APBA Offshore team to keep everyone informed.

I cannot stress that everyone needs to read the story on the www.apbaoffshore.com website, and stand by the racers on the issue that all official announcements will be made on the site, when the dates are confirmed as commited.

For the better of the sport...

Thumbs up No One went away unimpressed!

The evolution of APBA/Offshore Racing was evident and secure in the hands of the next stage of leadership. I personally was astonished at the meeting how the commitment of Bob Bull effected the group as a comforting indication that the future was even more promising and exciting then ever. The schedule will fill in and the participants this year will add there contribution to the future as well. I can feel the sound of those engines rumbling in the distance! Yeh Baby! Yeh!

Thanks INC for sticking it to it! Great meeting!

I thought the meeting was very good. Bob and Pop's commitment is inspiring, and Marks presentation definitely laid everything on the table.

The best message in it all was this isn't an exclusive club. Race here race there - just race.... Bob's focus is clearly on the racing and not the politics of it.

When you combine all of the schedules out there and the ones yet to come there is definitely a great year of racing ahead.

I just spoke to Jim Poplin and he has told me to let you all know to change your internet address for APBA Offshore to
www.apbaoffshoreracing.com
which will take you to the site directly.

Bob Bull has noted that will be the new, published website address to take you to the existing site, so pass that on.

I too was at the meeting and was very impressed with the new regime, Bob Bull will listen to any and all ideas and wants the racers involved in the decision making process as evident of our vote to give up prize money in leu of charging a $5000 pro membership fee. He also offered match every dollar generated towards TV
