Re schedule:
The APBA press release lists the St. Cloud Divisional als "confirmed." It also says Marathon and Key West are "back on track." The release does not list any other race sites, but says: "A total of eight additional race sites were under various stages of negotiations, with announcements to be continued as they are finalized."
Re prize money:
"While the organization itself suggested the Professional Race Membership Program at a fee of $5,000.00 per member to offset the costs of the television production, of which the total Bob Bull himself would match, a discussion gave way to the idea that if the racer membership discontinued the prize money disbursement for 2004, the funds could be allocated back to cover television, without having to require the racers to come out of pocket for funds.
That idea was unanimously presented and agreed to by the race teams present, and the organization will now begin negotiating both the television production of the 2004 shows, as well as T.V. network opportunities, all which will be presented back to the membership for their input."
