Nick Carter Racing in SBI????
 

i just read that he is racing(sponsoring) a 42 Fountain-Scism cat in SBI. The Sbi webpage also says that he and his brother will be singing at certain race venues..Quite a change from last year. I wonder what made him switch to Sbi?

I do believe he raced in both. I know they were at the SBI race on the Hudson last year.

42 fountain with 1500hp in it. just got the press release.

Sounds just like the Pier 57 boat. Maybe they will have someone to race against this year.

Pier 57's second cat is shown for sale in one of their ads, so that could be it.

It's not one of the PIER 57's boats, it is one of the VICTORY boats that Randy Scism raced

Thats one of the funniest things I've read in awhile.

why sticker boy?

Just a number of things.
- NCR switching to SBI
-That they called it a Scism/Fountain
-That they said one of the best in the business
-That they pump it up so much.
-The boat was raced a few years ago by two of THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS and it didn't run well then(WITH TONS OF HP).
-All the hoopla they try to trow at the general public.
I'll say this they will have some real competition in Snack Attack, Godess, Bacardi, and Pier 57.

thanks for the answer,racing is full of it now.That's why i'll poker run for awhile and have fun.wish the bodies would do something and make it fun. thanks for the stickers in key west.if you're at a poker run and i got room jump on. new boat 42gtx with 1200 jus truckin scott

Ryan,
SO your telling everyone that SBI are the only one to do something like that, I think not. You want to believe everything that the other sanctioning body say as gospel but there is alot to be said for their hoopla... as you say , so I don't think you should criticize anyone .

Not exactly what I was trying to say. Most press realease are to pump up people and most don't live up to the promises. The other sanctioning bodies do it as well. I overly critical of alot of things that happen in boatracing as am very passionate about our sport. I have grown up around offshore since I was 7 and seen alot of people and teams come and go, but I am not going anywhere. I know Mark the drive alittle bit and I've met Bobby too, I wish them the best of luck, I do know they will have good engines and a great setup guy working on the boat.

so why the switch?

Welcome guys,looking foward to a great season,looking foward to meeting you guys.

...things that make you go...HMMMM??????

:D

Jesse,

They are running the old Victory hull that raced in UIM C1 and most currently raced in APBA Offshore PX Class as "El Diablo".

IN KEY WEST LAST YEAR?

Blue lightning boat (supercat) ?

Reading the info on the SBI site about Nick signing with John, makes me feel like I've just watched a pro wrestling WWF TV show.:D Who's got the popcorn ready?

COWISL to answer your question .the Carter's just wanted to have fun this year!!!Since super-v, as we know it no longer exist Nick wanted to have a faster boat!

BLO-OUT YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF ABOUT OFFSHORE RACING! HEY DIDN'T DAN L RACE IN THAT BOAT A COUPLE OF TIMES?

Darren,

Yes, that's correct. There is a press release on OSO's home page. Sounds like they have a new engine program.

Darren--he ran it a couple of times when Bobby couldn't make it back down to K.W.--he drove--Todd throttled--I crewed for Bobby/Todd in Daytona

Oh really? Cool!

Great news for SBI!! Another big Cat!
Best of luck to Todd & Mark & congrats to Nick Carter. You guys will have a great year!
See you at the races

I believe Todd owns it still. I can't remember if he leased it or bought it.
We kept F2-07 Wild Child under it with them at the Washington NC race in 2000.

I enjoy going to SBI races and have many friends that race there. Truthfully I usually don't do ahole lot of work at alot of races some more than others. One things for sure it that I don't make enough to pay a vendors fee, If I had to I wouldn't go , and alot of people would be bummed. I was referring to most press realease from anyone not sbi in particular.

Thank's Dave!I im very exited about racing for Nick!!! Looking forward to see you at the races,it has been to long !!! Marc Lafleur NICK CARTER'S el DIABLO racing team

Don't pick on my friend Ryan. How ya doin Ryan. Hope that you can get out here for Skaterfest this year. I want to have you see how the boat that you designed turned out. Otto

Hey Marc,

I heard about you racing with Carter and his team, I think it's great that he decided to stick with racing again this year. I've been a fan of power boat racing for 18 years. I know El Diablo will have a great year, you have some stiff competition, but I'm sure you can do it. I cheered NCR on last year, and I still email Lee Murray and his wife once in awhile. Hopefully I can work it out to see ya's in Marathon in June with my daughter. We're also seeing the Formula one races here in Bay City MI at the River Roar, and then the APBA races in Milwaukee in August.

Please if you have time give me an email, I'd love to find out more about the team from you. [email protected]

Thanks and good luck to you and the whole crew.

Connie

Marc,

Great to see you back in racing. You and your teams have always been great to be around and hopefully we will see you at some of the races. Keep us all posted on the race results, and best of luck.
