response to Payton
Hi Payton,
Thanks for inquiring. Our team, along with Mike and Larry Hanson, have built a virtually new hull for the 2003 season and invested substantial sums in associated equipment. The O Boy! O Berto company has returned for their 3rd. year of sponsorship, and significantly elevated their financial commitment. These folks pay me well and I didn't feel right possibly getting injured in the Offshore boat and not being able to meet my commitments with the U-6. This team and sponsor are great folks to race for and I believe I just owe them.
Reggie has been a teriffic owner these past three offshore seasons, and I look forward to joining him again when the time is right. He provided us great equipment, financial support and a wealth of knowledge. Throttling with Benny, Brett May and Mike Seebold was a pleasure.
With all the "stuff" surrounding our sport right now, I'm feeling especially blessed to be where I am.
Hope you can make it to the Evansville or Madison races. You know we've got the passes and Beef Jerky just waiting
Take care,
Steve

Mel,
Hope you get better soon. I saw you guys as you were pulling out of the public ramp on 33rd Saturday. I was putting my boat in the water. (25 Power Play). Vixen looked sweet.

This is just one more reason that either SBI join APBA or go bust. How did they sell a "race" schedul to OLN with less than 20 boats. APBA has its problems too, but the race guys demand that they get together to get some competition. 20 years ago when offshore racing ment offshore racing there were more boats. Who wants to see one or two boats per class, real hard to be named "clas champion". Get a life. Get together.
