Qatar 95 96 in Key West
 

Who wants to see the Qatar boats in KW? The real WORLDS are always in KW and everyone wants to see those boats there. I personally am dissapointed to here they aren't showing up! They originally planned on being there I hope the Gieco deal didn't ruin that for the rest of us. It is the 30 year anniversary!

The more boats the better. Im looking forward to it.

i would like to see them there

I don't know the politics of all this crap, but I would gaurantee it has nothing to do with Geico. The 2 Quatar boats missed the Patchague race due to religion ( Ramadan- I know I spelled it way off, no dis-respect intended ), and it cost them the National title. In other words, it really isn't that important to them, so it is what it is. I don't mean religion isn't important, it just means more to some people than others.

From what I heard tonight at OFF, not gonna happen.

Very little being said about the KW turnout. Do we have any current updates on who will be racing in KW this year?

Coming down no matter how many Race Boats participate. With Duval Street and the Poker Run Boats, the Racing has become secondary over the last view years.

KW races were great politics and ego will ruin anything sad!

Rumor is they are heading back to ME, after OB, to race class one again.
again just a rumor.

I can tell you that it was great to see both Qatar 95 & 96 racing at the BWORA St. Clair River Classic this year and hope they come back in 2011.

World championshp of what ?

Orange Beach is gonna be off the hook.

You can bet on that :cool:

Please define "Gieco Deal" for us. Is there an inside scoop?

Heard a rumor that President Obama has hired Bob Carbonell as an advisor on how to unify the Country!!!!

OOOPPPS, Did I'm mean to say John Carbonell. If not please correct me on my spelling or who knows I might become the next Secretary of Education.

No inside scoop.All i was referring to was earlier in the year when they had a lawsuit with sbi.

LOL not very likely!! :lolhit:

They were flyin' in Solomon's Island !!!

From an outsider looking in, I also ask that question.

Offshore Racing gives the appearance of "I'm on first, who's on second, their on third, what is running for home".

I validate that statement with a question: When was the last time you saw an Offshore Race on a major TV channel?

To my knowledge, the Qatar boats are on a carnet in the US, which means they will have to get out of the country and back to the country issuing the carnet. Our carnet for All Jack'd Up in Europe was for 12 months (outside US)...
