Some may call it TORTUROUS INTERFERENCE I call it fair competition. Those involved with contractual obligations to SBI are the ones who will need to tread lightly so as not to be in breach.
I'm not sure how you can fault someone else from creating a new racing series that races in the same & or other states as long as you aren't trying to compete for said same city on same date.
Hopefully SBI has deep pockets & legal team on retainer to handle that title bout.

So QMSF changes the official rep to someone else in the team, like Bobby Moore?...would take 10 minutes,right?
If Curtis is the one responsible for this he should resign from the QMSF org.

One thing I notice there hasnt been much mentioned of in all this. The kids with the fountain are the ones that will pay the price for this madness. I dont have a clue what will happen but just for argument sake, what if Steve cant pull off the race? SBI has a long term contact signed with another city and possibly 2 new addition for this yr. Damn what a gamble......! Even if he does it will take yrs to try and build a boat count again. Like most of us I would very curious to hear about this business plan. Sponsors are close to impossible to get now, could u imagine a new org with no track record no schedule and no memebrs, not sure if anyone will be to quick to be writing checks. But u never know crazy things happen all the time, who thought we would be possibly be engaging in a war again with another new terrorist org.

This is funny. Everyone is getting that head thumped by the guys with deep pockets and they don't wanna play anymore. (Truth hurts) edit* that includes sbi.
Regardless of the torturous interference (who comes up with this sh*t? ) the only people this is affecting are the people that are coming to watch.
I think I may just rent a cc and go running about the place and skip the races. If I hadn't already prepaid I'd stay in indiana. Noone can respect someone that isn't a class act... I spoke with Steve and the qatar team at the shootout - they have deep pockets, but didn't act like it to me. Alot of people having issues would be alot better off concentrating on controlling themselves when some foreigner throws money around. Reminds me of a dog with a frisbee.

As a racer and paid member of SBI I would hope the pres. of the org. was looking out for his members so they have somewhere to race next yr. The racers are the one that have the huge investment in and equipment, and travel to a race and put our lives on the line for the fans everytime we get in a boat. REALLY ......

I agree with you 95% except for the fact without fans you're all just a bunch of guys with expensive toys that are running around in a circle. No racer is a rockstar... you all put your pants on just like the rest of us.
What if Steve has good intentions ? What if he wants to grow the sport? Sbi is afraid he has enough resources they can't smother him out. Let's be honest.
Edit - by no means would I want it to negatively affect any of the racers. Just don't ride the wrong ship to the bottom... I haven't seen any offshore org. Take much pride in how the patrons were treated.

I agree 100% the fans are very important to us, its the only reason we do it. We are getting rich doing that for sure, and it cost the racers 4 times anyone else.
