Are you out of your F**%^$ mind! Lee you should hide. I maybe in KW but not to race at this point. Does the town know there will be no boats? I would love to see a list of what teams you think will race. Better yet if ANYONE is racing in KW please speak up. Lets see the list of all your race teams. It sickens me to think a bunch of hard working teams wont race this year at a world championship race because they had plans to be in KW not Alabama. The best you could do is call APBA and work this out as your last race.

Has anyone wondered how much the sanction fee is for a world championship? I believe that a national event fee is on the high side of $150000. It's possible the hotels and businesses aren't helping. Isn't that why John Carbonell didn't run into the harbor a couple of years ago?
I have been going to KW since 1984, and love it. But it is all about dollars, none of these people are in this thing to lose money. Well, except the racers
Which is really unfortunate. My hat's off to you guys, where ever you go!

Lee, isn't the sanction fee pretty much set?
In other words, you tried to wring as much money as possible out of the Racers. And when the management of APBA Offshore-LLC stood up for the racers, you didn't like that, did you?
I'm tired of your attempts to screw the racers every chance you get. Your ideas of "screw the racers, they have the money!" pisses me off just thinking about it.
I hope the good people of Key West see what you've done to them when you screwed the pooch.
Hopefully, they'll ask us back next year, without you.
