Any changes for the KW 2012 world champion races??
 
I'm really not trying to stir the pot but assume the question alone will rial a few up. Just out of pure curiosity, is the racing going to be held in a different manner this year in key west? Anything change since the horrible events of 2011?

After we got back from KW in 2011, most thought there may not even be a race in KW this year. With the lawsuits pending (including the rumor of sponsors being served)...are the races "business as usual"?
I'm not really asking about the intricacies of safety, I'm more referring to is there still enough sponsorship and actual racers? And how about insurance???

Again, just curious. We look forward to a great, safe, time.

I was just curious I guess to how superboat is coping as a whole. If things are on track and going smoothly for this years races.

and i must disagree with your statement that most thaught there would be no 2012 key west race,i believe only a small percentage of people thaught that,most ,like myself knew that the lawsuit will take years,and sbi will continue to make money in k west.

John should be able to stall the lawsuits for many years-in the meantime,the worlds races at key west will go on.
I didnt just make this up-it comes from a reliable sourse.
