Re: WHY ARE BOTH "WORLDS" THE SAME WEEKEND?
If you read my post, it says i wasn't sure of the exact number. The OSS guys don't want to be a part of APBA/SBI. They have they're own racing organization. They did however want to be included in THE WORLDS because it is after all THE WORLDS. They asked to be treated the same as UIM but they were refused. How can you say that you're the best in the world when half of the fast boats weren't there.

[COLOR=Blue][I]Posted by F1-00 You still have the option of running in KW if you want to! Every racer out there still has that option. SBI/APBA
For a hefty sum
OSS $2,500.00 In addition to their own fees
UIM $0 In addition to their own fees
I guess it is obvious that for some reason if you are from Europe you get special treatment

Re: WHY ARE BOTH "WORLDS" THE SAME WEEKEND?
there is a difference between the 2 groups,
one allows only canopy boats, the other any boats.
one is for profit, the other in not.
the only thing in common, is they both have racers and fans hat are passionate about the sport.
i think the off season will bring many surprizes, to those that follow offshore racing.

To no leader at all.

The answer is obvious, NO, so now you want SBI/APBA to be the bad guys, or is it you think those guys are special just because they are OSS. Several teams have raced both circuits this year, raced their 2 races, paid both fees and havent complained.

Uim pays a fee ( much smaller than having all of their racers pay the regular membership fee) to have their group in the races as well as paying all the regular entry fees to this one race. Oss was willing to do the same.
