Powerboat P1 USA: What's the Deal?
 

After the somewhat recent announcement of Powerboat's P1 USA's $90,000 purse for the Super Vee Lite series, I thought it was time to check in with director of operations Martin Sanborn and ask four straight questions, http://www.boats.com/boat-content/20...%99s-the-plan/.

Interesting, at the very least.

Great questions! Hopefully things will work out like they envision them :cool:

Thanks, Racegirl.

One of the things I like about Martin Sanborn is I can ask him real questions and he doesn't flinch.

I hope it works, too. I also understand why some of the other organizations are cautious.

Matt,

Any details on this ? :confused:

Min boat count ?

"additional sponsor fulfillment criteria"

Hey Tim,

I think those are reasonable questions. I will follow up.

According to Martin Sanborn, there have to be eight to ten, depending on the venue, Super Vee Lights. The "additional sponsorship fulfillment criteria" means they have to be APBA/UIM members and they have to wear driving suits with the APBA/UIM logo (as well as a Powerboat P1 logo).

8 TO 10 SVL's at every race. :eek:

Now that would be great !!!:drink:

As far as the APBA ?

I agree they will need those patches for their entire season....

More news on that coming soon! ;) :party-smiley-004:

Yawn

I totally get where you're coming from. Everyone has reason to be a little jaded by the goings on in offshore racing, especially those, like you, who were involved in it.

I am just reporting. I said I'd follow up on my original story when Tim Sharkey asked a couple of good questions. Got the answers, nothing more or less.

What you do with them, and how you perceive them, is totally up to you.
