Don't worry Ted,
This event will be worth taking off for. Even if it is less one boat....
You will not be dissappointed.....

Guy's, we're getting OFF TRACK AGAIN. I suggest ALL THE RACERS FROM SVL( JUST THE TEAMS RACING POINT PLEASANT, NJ) call Smitty TODAY (732) 920-3945 with their thoughts and get this back on track. Remember, THE FANS and SPONSORS are gonna LOSE.

Shame, So your decision is based on a poll that was put on OSO . I would think the race teams that are going to bring there equipment should be the only people polled.
As long as you like the poles so much lets start a poll asking all the fans and non racers if they are disappointed that you are not going to show up.

Shane, see the letter (that you should have been handed in Marathon) in post 65. I gave these letters out in Pickwick and you and Cory should have recieved them in Marathon. The milage is stated in the letter.

I really can't believe the milage is becoming an issue. You'd think a $10,000 winner take all purse would be enough for ya.

Guys this is a perfect example why there should only be one sanctioning body that way we are all on the same page and all racing together as a whole and not beating up one another as we all can see that this is what has happened here,if we all were in one group we would all be racing the same amount of laps,the same weight boats and all racing together,instead we are just proving that we cannot get along and that we all have different agendas and that all of this BS just probably cost Bill Purnell and I as well as Mark Henderson a 100,000.00 Dollar a year sponsorship because we sound like a bunch of HE SAID SHE SAID CRY BABY NON PROFESSIONAL MOTORSPORTS PEOPLE.If you agree or you do not agree that is the real story,there are not enough race boats to go around,we all need to be on the same page if we want this to go anywhere,OSS,APBA,SBI all need to be one,the people in charge of these groups need to get together and put there personal aggendas aside and make this happen or the sport will just continue to fall apart,if you truly care about the sport or if you have any smarts about you,you will know what I mean and help try to mend it,we all need to race together and we would not even be having these debates,it is about boat racing,not what is cookin on the grill,who is prettyer than who,who wants to race a 22 mile race,and I agree with Shane because it is a waist of time to come cross country even for 10,000.00 in prize money.we have to work together and fix the problem or just get out,because as it stands we are just pissin in the wind.

HYPER, Your post was going well until you had to put in that you agree with Shane on a 22 mile race. With comments like that you are as much the problem as anyone else and you do not even know it. Do you here yourself or am I missing something?
PS This thread is about Point Pleasant not unification. Please start a new one if you want to go on with it.

1Hyper1 If you losing a sponsor because of a little *****ing on a website that a very minute amount of people outside of racing reads, the deal was never that solid anyhow and it was an easy out.
As far as the grillin goes, we had a perspective sponsor (BIG) marine part distributer with us for the Pit Grillin party's and he actually commented that that was one of his favorite parts of the race weekend. Don't get me wrong, we are all buisiness on the race course, but a little fun goes a long way for my sponsors.

PS Our team won't be paying for any accessories for the rest of the season
now if you'll excuse me I have to go order my new FREE fuel pump

Now back to our regular scheduled program

Smitty....not to get away from the real reason why you have been doing this....but if they don't want to show...how about something with the super-vee's with 6 or 7 of them with a good pay out...maybe we can get some SBI/APBA and OSS SV to show and compete with each other since most won't be able to race each other this year.....just a thought to get the boat count up....and since there are 3 of us already that would show...I'm sure we could get 3 or 4 more....

Not trying to shy the attention away from the SVL's, I hope they all come to a agreement....

Just a thought......

Gino, the first step was the SVL. That class along with our normal P class makes a nice boat count. The purse for the SVL will come from OPA. I am meeting with another sponsor on monday for a purse on the SV class. And on and on. I want PT Pleasant to ROCK this year, and am not letting up till it happens. There are already 6 SV teams interested in coming, Start spreading the word. Even if this sponsor falls through, I will put up the $. Smitty
