I just got a e-mail from SBI/APBA which I'm sure most of you got about how to qualifie for the Worlds in Key West, all you have to do is have raced in the 2006 Worlds in Key West or race 2 races in any other Organization for 2007....

Better make your reservations Gino!

“The 2006 Key West World Championship was a tremendous success, providing a major economic impact to the community following a slower than normal year”, said Larry Bleil, CROPBRA President.
“All teams are welcome to race in the 2007 Key West World Championship. A team qualifies by having raced in the 2006 Key West World Championship or by racing in any two (2) races with other powerboat organizations during the 2007 season”, said John Carbonell, SBIP President.

At our last OPA phone meeting with most of the teams it was said it would be voted on by the teams of OPA where they wanted to race the worlds. Something was mentioned about what the costs would be to race with both bodys SBI and OSS. Im sure it will come out at the Feb. meeting and we can all vote then on where each team wants to race. The great thing about OPA is the teams have a voice and the majority rules. Let the offers begin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1 boat = 1 vote and my suggestion would be only let the teams that raced the worlds last year vote. They are the only teams that should be heard being they made the commitment in 06 to race the worlds and will most likely do it again.

Gino ,

From all the calls and emails that I have been getting you will see a ton of new faces in KW this year. They realize that it is time to get back to racing...

I think The Super Bowl race will be a good gauge for what the further will bring.

Well said OffshoreJoJo ....2007 KW in November .
Its all but a done deal!

WOW. Thanks. Glad you figured that out for all of us or we'd have never known when Key West is going to be.

Geez, hope you didn't have to put too much research into that post, Einstein. (or should I say SLANDREW)

Or, are you just trying to get your post count back up? It's got to be hard trying to keep a post count when you're continually getting banned.

Averaging almost five posts a day with your fourth screen name in two months, none of any value that we've seen yet. But we're patient. Hang in there, you might be able to find something useful to add to these forums someday eventually.

No I was talking about racers, that is based on conversation i have had with them and at this time it seems to be the way they feel. U never know things may change...
