P1 founder is gone, the venue is still in operation in Europe, but I don't know how it's going to go here. I like the hp/wt rules, they bring good parity so I hope P1 will flourish here.

The minimum boat count was 8. If Im not mistaken, some money was distributed to those who attended St. Clair, even though there were only 6 boats. We were 2 boats short in Sunny Isles. (missing Pirate, Time Bandit, Typhoon)
Unfortunately, some teams that committed earlier this year, never made it. IE: Pig Iron, Bronx Phantom, and Absolutely not.
At this point in time we are awaiting Martin's plans for next year. Last I heard, He was finalizing a rule book.

I have no doubts the money was there. It was up to us to stick to our committments, which we did not. This has been a problem we faced all year long. If It was up to me, I would have the teams put up a bond, to guarantee they will show. If they miss a race, for any other reason than a blown motor or damaged hull, they forfeit their bond. Even if the riding crew cant make it, have substitutes on standby, so the boat still shows.
