No competition = no racing!
I totally get why Miss G got away from turbines but I am sure the burning down of the boat played a big part in that. Without that it is hard to say they wouldn't still be out racing with turbine power.

I am not arguing the better boats/races wont be in the Keys. I am just saying that even without the SBI boats and the die hard fans. The Sarasota run will still draw a big crowd as usual. At this point it has turned into a yearly fun event that the casual boat fan and just even beach fan has gotten into. Those are the type that can not name a boat other than Geico. They will still pile in, rent rooms, crowd the area with family, and cheer on the boats and even the jet skis.

Qatar has a Superboat, and an Unlimited class boat if they want to race, maybe we'll see them in Cocoa.

Are they still persona-non-grata or was that just for KW to prove a point?

I would think if Steve called SBI he could race Cocoa.

It wasnt to prove a point, you dont know all the fact and this isnt the place. But slinging BS isnt helping anything especailly when u dont know what was done and for what reasons.

You can call me anytime if you would like to talk about it. 321 693-00023

Maybe if they add a sandcastle building and bellyflop contest too, then the event will truly become as big as they're pretending it will be.
You obviously know more than I because I do not follow offshore racing. What are the travel habits of the offshore spectators?

Frankie,

Remember OSO is famous for thoughts that do not include facts. Those are difficult to refute. You are a trooper.
