ok, while I am getting caught up, skaterdave worked for a race team so that makes him an expert, I spent a year with "a turbine" team (not JBS) so that must make me know everything also.. I still don't see where you explained who you are or your credentials? Do you have a skater? have you ever been on a race course? you want to call him out on everything, so as far as the bikes go I'll tell ya what, I have a brand new zx14 sitting in my garage you are more than welcome to come use to race him on a track.. What is your stake in this? did your SC team get lapped by their F2 boat and hurt your feelings, one of the JBS guys bannged your wife at a rice?? what??

I figured after a night of hard drinking that "obfuscate" was the equivalent of ..."but I didn't kiss her".

Then I started wondering what the sport would look like if you made the boats single crew racers i.e. one guy in the boat does everything. Hmmmmmm.

Now wait a minute, boys: I seem to recall a Super Cat class that in 1999 and 2000 that was absolutely rocking both in the number of teams and closeness of competition, and it's nothing like the class described above.

Just sayin'.

It's not about the class rules....any format is fine...as long as its consistent and immune from people who want to take their football and go home every time they don't win or have another race boat within a quarter mile of their roostertail. Today the Supercat class...(originally a spec'd carbureted 750 class) has Lamborghini's, Supercharged Mercruisers, 750 Sterlings with 900 hp....etc, etc and many of the racers who can run in that class (as bastardized as it has become) are now sporting 1350's, 1500's, and soon coming to a theater near you...1700's...not to mention turbines.

Mike's point is that anybody who owns an Offshore race boat can afford a single engine vee and all of the big boys can afford a Supercat lite......... all it takes is the guts to swallow your checkbook and enter a truly competitive arena.

Audacity
Aren't you the same rider that made the rude comment about Bobby keiths girlfriend at the airport after Mid-Ohio? and the same guy who threw a crank at Ed Toomey in the garage at brainerd?

p.s Gregg Esser said to say hello

I can attest, that after many years of personal knowledge and dubious friendship.

Sean Stinson is truly "a legend in his own mind".

i am not in here trying to be a hero! i am accomplishing exactly what i set out to do. the people that are REALLY helping JBS right now....there is no doubt they will do more business from it. the ones that have taken advantage of JBS; many are seeing their ways and learning from our mistakes.

Joe you should give me a shout live in Grand haven/Spring Lake area

Be great to have lunch and catch up

My office is close by
