The problem is very simple: As long as there are mulptiply organizations who have different ideals about the racing world then it will next to immposible to get everyone to race as one. I understand why people race where they do and that is fine but those loyalties hurt United We Race.
How you doing, Mikey? Hope all's well!

I couldn't agree more. John & his gang came to race at all the clubs venues, encluding ours & we couldn't have been more proud to have the AMF crew.
As far as unification of the current clubs around the US, we are trying. I will be able to explain more at a later date, but for now we are trying. Keep a sharp eye boys it may come sooner than you think.

Lets not just blame the Org. some of the racers have done as much damage if not more to the sport. With today economy you will see it harder to get good race site, and it will affect a lot of the teams this yr. The hardest hit will be the heart and soul for Offshore the P class. Like it or not it is a reality united we race is a great concept but in reality it doesnt work. Teams will race where it is best for them finacally and economically and thats a fact. Opa has a good Model FREE doesnt get better then that. The southern team will run local Fla races and stay close to home with SBI. Pretty simple guys this isnt rocket science it a bunch of guys boat racing as a hobby. The drama is for the guy that really dont want to race it gives them somethign to do.

No blame on anyone here, except maybe the economy. No one knows better than I the hardship of producing a race & the time envolved respectively. Currently we are in the thick of just that task. However, I would like to think that the East Coast teams would support all clubs, specially without a race of their own until summer. I found that is not the case. We had offered tow money & reduced fees (one time racing fee of approx $300 if paid in advance). The response was a big foot on my a---s as the door slamed shut. But we won't let that detour our efforts, as I stated earlier I will provide more info in the coming days.
We never had so much fun & warmth from the EC teams when we did the full tour in 09'. Now that our boat is up & running strong again you can bet we are working hard to attend 1 or 2 races out there! Why? Because we want to support the clubs that support the sport. Besides we miss seeing everyone.......
