OK.....we surrender, don't send the Oklahoma National Guard to invade Finland.
Changing the direction of this high leaning thread.....T2...what do you think of the three race concept...April - California / Sept - NY and November - Fla??
Enough time between dates so everyone has a shot at preparation of the boats, without the added pressure of a time schedule every couple of weeks.
Sorry, if you covered this in your diatribe back there tha GLH posted.

And theres at least a half dozen competitors for each race you can count me in for long island and florida.
No way im driving to calli
Id do these just for fun, stories, comradery, and scenery but have to admit a small pot would be a major perk, and im sure theres a lot of others that feel exactly the same!!!

I could see it on CNN now..."Stupid ole Redneck from NC gets lost in the Atlantic, ends up in Cuba and now held and charged with being a US Spy.. Last word from Cuban authorities is he was in the latest High Tech US Military Spy boat, a BLACK 1978 Cigarette Race Boat "

It would perhaps appear that this type of racing is just not for you. There are classes. They just may not be tailored to your individual preferences. Cant please everyone. You mention equal playing field, it is a long distance race in the ocean. It can equalize anything. You want to talk math and statistics. Your boat is bone stock, statistically it has a much greater chance of continuing to run than any super modified high performance machine you are worried about being faster than you. From that perspective, you should be handicapped, no? You keep talking speed and parody, yet you mention Joe in his Sonic as last years winner. How fast did he run overall? Slower than your boat is capable of, no? If only the thought of winning a race like this appeals to you, then I believe you are missing the point. This may be a race to race for the sake of racing, old school style. If you win great, if not, at least you raced.
Its simple: the more boats you add, the more will finish.

Ooops. There are classes. That' what you get for posting based on another post without fact-checking. "Stupid is as stupid does, sir."
Carry on, gentlemen.
