Leave It Up To Us To Work To Resolve, You Have No Idea How Hard This Is.
I Was Racing When We Had Over 125 Boats At A World Chapionship, Sarasota, And Many Others.
Let Us Do Our Jobs, Which With All These Boats Registered, We Are In All Bodies,oss,sbi-apba,opa And Working Together Like Oss And Opa,we Will Get It Done Or We Will Move On. This Letter Was Nothing But A Invite To Discuss. Nothing Else. Great Letter Ken I Know We Will Continue To Work On This, I Will Make Sure Of That.i Hope To See You At A Few Of Our Races And Invite All Apba And Opa Racers To Our Events. We Welcome All With Open Arms, Just Ask Instagator.
Lets Keep This Positive.

Last week I passed Arendal norway and looked into a ProVee team making their progress in Norway.
And theres always Class1 if ProVee doesn´t sound good enough.
How is it the UIM circles have had a quite a succes since the late 80´s?

UIM has got their sh&t together over there. I was able to
record a few races from speed channel last season and
they pack in the fans.
And I also noticed a podium for 1st,2nd,3rd they have the girls
in matching outfits up there presenting the trophies to the winners
and those big wreaths around their necks and their popping
champagne. If you only saw that you wouldnt think it was
for offshore racing.

And this way the prize ceremonies have to be over here up to par those Big Boys have accustomed to.
Something to be learnt there I think.. plus the field has to be something to look up to.
Racers are Racers by heart so if no real competition does show up they will lose interest in the sport soon.
I Truly Hope Americans will have a united racing series that attracts the media and the crowd.

Re: Interesting letter on Offshore racing
Hey Tres,
We get your point, it does not work for you any longer. Try to remember that a lot of great people are still racing. We don't like all the nonsense imposed on us by the powers that be. We want a unified World Championship 100 + boat counts and World Peace would be nice as well. For someone who enjoyed the sport for so long, you sound like you would rather kill it for us than help it through a rough time. SQ
