Hi Nort
Yes they do indeed! But, the way JBS was talking one minute about amazing resouces at his disposal....I thought he found Alec's lost wallet! LOL! Then the next minute hardship...loans on equiptment...I thought he may have found my wallet! Conflicting to say the least......

w/ -or- w/o money all these turbine teams seem to want to do is race!

+10!

LOL Ed.

Thats the goal of every team but not reachable for some...

Who cares where they are getting the money? I hope they are in St. Clair this weekend to race that would be sweet. The thread is about the turbines not about how much money he may have or had. Good luck JBS!

+1 and i hope he gets the turbine mess straightend out !!!!!

Is it? Or is it a simple game of dodgebill? Look at Turbine Marine's work............looks like a shop with a lot of ability that really cares about their product. Turbine Marine's product is the high end of the Offshore Powerboat spectrum. This is my last post on this thread. I hope these two can find some common ground. We shall see.

Not to be a smartazz, but if someone is running a million dollar boat team, shouldn't they be a little more "liquid" in terms of cash? Maybe this is the issue with Turbine Marine if JBS was always trying to get them to do things on the "cheap".

Honestly, I never heard of Al Copeland, Tom Gentry or the others saying they needed to get a loan to make the next race.

There just might be more to this story than we are reading here.

OR IS IT??????? looks can be deceiving


truth be told the biggest hurdle that jeff has is with all his *****in, is that he keep silent for too long instead of bring the past problems to light. now it seems spitefull or petty to complain. one can only guess in some kind of blind loyality to arruda that jeff thought each time things were going to change for the better. which apperantly never happened.

it also seems that alot of people see pretty chrome parts and assocaite that with high performance. there's a big difference between a relaible race boat and "fancy" high performance pleasure boats.

JBS racing does have amazing recorces-obviously we don't have millions to spend on engines every year.The recorces I was referring to are people that would sacrifice their life to help you find out more than just happened but also why-not just why but definitively why.Also people who refreshingly care and genuinely want to see you succeed as well as provide real answers to simple questions.Getting prices up front is quite unusual but I can get used to it.

JBS vs. Geico in st Clair?...... Stay tuned
