I am not sure APBA has been out of offshore. They have be n part of p1 for the last 5 years. They just recently joins with OPA. P1/APBA count each race as a separate race so on any weekend they run they run 4 races. As that up and they prob put on just as many as anyone else.
Second I have raced with randy since the 1999 in the factory 1 class. Always a stand up guy. Always. He always wanted parity. Now that everyone can basically run what ya brung it sucks. Stick with one motor. Period. Make it a 8.2 Mercury. Might be a little slower but the parity would be awesome. Wouldn't be check book racing. Would sound the same and be a whole lot cheaper. Some guys just done get it. When it was f1 and f2 look how many boats there were. Those 2 classes where more than total at coca this weekend. If you want to find out if you can really drive. Go out and race in a class where everyone has same boat, motor and prop. A lot of guys would get their big egos in check. Guess that's why they don't give it a shot.
Btw I won a world championship in SbI In 99. Tore me down and I was legal. Won all 3 races. I am not a keyboard cowboy.

I agree Warlock. I raced F1 against Randy and had a blast. I remember 21-27 boats in St. Pete in 01 or 02. I also raced F2 on the west coast. Those were days of great racing.
Randy hit up my inbox its .clear

Day one you were sucking up to me like you do with all the new racers. Explaining to me how Steve and George have no kids and lots of money and we need to stick together to do what's best for us. That's when I realized what you were about. I complain when I don't get what I'm entitled to, like being included on class meetings and votes. You kept Steve, Steve and my self out of a class vote because you didn't want the new racers to hear what we had to say because it wasn't in your best interest. I also complain when I'm told I can run with SVL only to be told on race morning that I cant. That's because you were a little ***** and got together with your club members and complained to the ORG. Same thing you did to George and Steve years ago. I may be jealous of some racers but definitely not you.
