If I may, I would like to make one other suggestion... Don't allow a single sponsor to control the whole show.

Gene made tremendous progress and 1998-99 was a tribute to that....but it didn't take long for OSS to come along and fracture it. In addition the head of the LLC suing the APBA didn't help much either.
THE POINT is the individual wants and needs of the racers must take a backseat to the needs of the sport....or there will be no sport.

P.S. How are you feeling Gordo...? I hope your health is much improved.

T2x,
I follow your POINT and agree, but I saw many factors fracturing APBA before OSS came to be.
How different would things be if SBI and APBA would have joined then instead of later in response to OSS?

Now you have APBA/SBI, OPA, OSS, and Super Cat something or other, and whatever AMF is(Offshore, Garveys, Jersey Speed Skiffs...etc).....That's four + separate and distinct entities....when no more than one can succeed in any real fashion..... especially in today's ridiculous economic times.

Other than that it has great enthusiasm, and strong loyalty from many of its racers........... but like a marriage based solely on blind love, it needs some real fundamentals before it becomes anything more than a bunch of joyriders IMHO.

They didn't really "join"...the LLC sort of kicked the "rights" over to JC...and he has done nothing with them other than to add the APBA name to SBI.
