Okay, Okay......there is a major effort going on right now, that is trying to put together a real open ocean race that will happen in this upcoming October, 2007.
We are looking for sponsors right now....if anyone is serious about getting involved with this type of rebirth, contact me and I can get you a sponsor package.
Real open ocean racing is not a put down of any other type of racing going on today....it is simply a return to the roots of the sport.
For those who would ike to try it, this may be your vehicle to a whole new set of challenges.

BH,
I have to say you are right about that.
F2 almost 30 boats in Sarasota and even when we upgraded to SVL I think a lot of great boats.
Brett
Who knows what you do.
I was just talking to a guy that pretty much hit the nail on the head. Skater and Fountain raised the bar so high in SV that everyone is either quitting or running P2. The other manufacuers are at least 5mph slower with the current specs.

animalhouse,
You can't be serious about it that it has anything to do with money with your team.
They bring two coaches, support semi, sport cars (one could pay for what I spend in two seasons) , motorcycles, 5-10 employees/ friends. One pilot and private plane for multiple trips to accomadate different peoples schedules and some customers.
Don't worry my hats off if I could afford to play like that I would but don't make this a financial issue. Those two have more money than I will ever see and they deserve it.
They decided to race Europe and the OSS when I raced with them last year and they already started boat 2 for that reason.
But you know what It doesn't matter anymore maybe that can win the OSS worlds by themselves.

If there are more competitors, than they will evaluate their decision further, but at this point it doesn't make sence. All of that "Show" doesn't get to the races on love, it costs money.
It is a financial issue, not with availability of funds, but more with the return on the investment. Continually racing against one competitor would simply be throwing good money onto bad.
Mike has made a big investment to race in Europe, and at this point he is focusing his attention and resources to Europe.

If the one boat you have to beat is your chief competition then you had better stay and race. The statement about not winning the National Championship when both teams have only one win each is a joke. Good luck to them over there they are going to need it there will be Fountian's there also.

Want to freeze their assets and deport Donzi,OL, Skater and the rest of the infidels as-well?
- Traitors to American boat Racing - what a uncultured idiotic comment that was.... let's turn Anti-american sentiment by Americans towards Americans-- I think we've had this conversation before with your wild patriotic rants - R E T A R D E D -
You obviously are ignorant to the fact that is a very serious term you slang so loosely, in the past, treason was thought of as worse than murder.
Try to take some Pep-to for that diarrhea of the fingers you have going there, they are really stinking up this forum.
P.S Looks like this year marketability and fan base opinion just drove a stake through the heart of someone's personal sandbox or what you call a organization.

I am not trying to claim that Mike and Joe can't afford to Race in both countries, I am just stating the fact that the investment isn't worth the time and money to continually show up to only race One Boat.

For that reason exactly.
