SBI schedule
 

SBI will run 3 races at the 2003 worlds
Race 1 & 2 are hafe the miles . Lets say your class runs 100 miles on sunday the 3rd race, than race 1 & 2 would be only 50 miles per day
plus SBI has added Race week Miami to there schedule CART & ALMS GRAND PRIX-DOWNTOWN MIAMI sept 19 20 21 & sept 26 27 28
LA

Why?

My guess is they want more registration money from the racers!

It would be nice if SBI actually paid you when you won or place in a race before they worry about raising their entry fees. Not a very good practice when you have to have credits for racing since they complain about having no money, but they all have fancy buses free rooms and are collecting atleast $75,000 per race site not including all the sponsor money. But NOOO ask the racers for more who already pay out the nose to keep up with their rule changes. Example : different engines all of a sudden for F!.

Welcome to SBI racing.Have you been paid yet for the worlds? I would love to race 3 times in a week if they didnt charge more and increased the prize money to at least cover your entry fee.You cant race if you dont pay your entry fee up front but its ok not to recieve your prize money for 2 months and who knows when!
We paid $1500 entry and another $1000 for membership and equipment fees then win first place and am still waiting for my $700 in prize money.Am I an idiot or what.Thank god there are *******s like me that are willing to put up with this just to go racing.

WOW - No prize money

Maybe you should pick up the phone and ask someone about it.I haven't had a problem getting mine and when it's not there when I thought it would be I called and got it straightened out.

DeepVcat do we run on both of those weekends or is it one race mixed in with the car races? Pete

Are you saying you have been paid for New Orleans?And yes I have called and was told they are having issues but its on the way.But at what point should they get on the phone and call me.Dont make me look like the bad guy here.I stated I'm one of the fools who dumps money to race.SBI is SBI and I knew it when we wrote the check.
Randy:rolleyes:

Chill Randy I'm sure you'll get your money.I dont think that check is going to make or brake you...

Randy not trying to make anyone look bad just asking? some people would not pick up the phone and ask we both know that.And no i havent been paid yet.You keep after it better than me i have not even asked about it and i have talk to them several times this month. Pete

Just for the record I still have not been paid from North Carolina. Yes I have called several times and they cry that their sponsors aren't paying them. Well guess what, that's a bunch of ****. I don't see them taking their names of their website but i do see them beeging for money from us. That is why we might just run apba. atleast their professional. Like i was told at the beginning all they are good for is a stepping stone and that they play by their own rules. so if your not a fountain or a SBI kiss ass, all that matters is that you pay and hopefully you don't win. Well if Gecko & typhoon leave then guess what maybe someone else can win. Check the facts every SBI race entered by Gecko Tequila & Typhoon were 1st & 2nd place with us taking turns at the top. No other SBI F-1 boat ever beat the 2 of us all season.Yeeeeaaahh Jersey Boyz!!!

" I stated I'm one of the fools who dumps money to race.SBI is SBI and I knew it when we wrote the check.

If it wasnt for the the fact you are having a hard time collecting your money, that would be one of the funniest statements ive read in a long time. good luck

Guy's...Business is business!Everyone in the world is having a hard time collecting outstanding$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ When the sponser doesn't pay what are you gonna do.....just wait,. there's not much we can do and not to put BS anywhere but John and Dana didn't have such a great year so give them a break,it's not like any of us are on our way to the poor house"YET" Dave,please watch how you use The Jersey Boyz,people already think were "THUGS" and where you are going to race SBI/APBA is your thing and has nothing to do with the rest of The Jersey Boyz, Thanks Augie

DeepVcat do we run on both of those weekends or is it one race mixed in with the car races? Pete

I was told we race on the 19 - 21 the race cars wiill be on display in our pits. the grand prix will run 26 - 28 and race boats will be on display in there pits

I have run with SBI for 7 years this is the first year prize money has been slow coming. So I simply deducted what was owed by SBI from my entery fee for the next race. that worked out real nice and made life a lot eazer when it came time to pay that entery fee.

L.A.

Dave...relax. you may say something that will come back and haunt you in the future..

Hey guys we might also have a Kilo in Miami so you need to ready and stop worring about your checks.If your in it for the money you should start playing golf.
If you cant afford it dont do it.....

looks like a great scledule leave it to SBI to get the greatest sites.
Looks like SBI is welcome at all the site that APBA got botted out of,whats up with that.
Good work John and Denna keep it up you guys are doing a great job.Looking foward to racing SBI again this year.What a family!

Frank,
You may want to check your facts before you try this hard to start another pissing match.:rolleyes:

Gordo
Not wanting to start a pissing contest by any means, please
give us the facts and expand our knowledge on this subject.

L.A.

L.A.,
Fair question. Let's do it this way, and it may just stop right here...
Exactly what sites did the APBA get booted out of?

I think the sites in question are Ft Myers and Sarasota.
L.A.

Thanks L.A. thats how i thought is was told to me but wasnt sure i had it right. We worked our entry fees the same way this year.Pete

Come race at Metro beach on June 27-29 2003, I paid the
prize money in CASH before you leave the awards.
The only check you get is for the TOW money we pay.
And yes it is the clubs responaibility to pay even if the
sponsor didn't pay them.

Gordo,
That is correct Ft.Myers and Sarasota.
Apba still hasnt paid Sarasots and I dont think ever will.
Wasnt tring to start a pissing match just stating facts.
Do you really believe after all the years APBA ran those races they just gave up some of the best site in race for no good reason.Its no big secert,it was even in the newspaper in Sarasota.
If I'm wrong and you have other information I would like to hear it.I didnt post anything that I thought everyone didnt alreay know.It is no secert about the bad blood between Sarasota and APBA (Mike A).I apologize if you took it wrong or didnt know the details....
Just for kicks lets not forget about N.C. APBA did put the first races on there also until that came to an end.

Frank

Hey Guys,
No bad blood. Just pointing out the facts. If i were in it for the money i would have been bankrupt 5 years before i started. But alot of these new guys are coming in with their pleasure boats hoping to make millions (or lose a couple of grand in each race, which is reality). But they think lets have a racing weekend and make dough.
People just have to realize that this is for fun but it is also a sport and you can't just stop drinking your Daiquiri for the day and become a racer.
That's all!!
But if an organization makes a promise we all have to be good on our words, since isn't that what life's about.
Anyway can't wait to race and everybody needs not to blow thing s out of proportion.

I agree Dave we should just be looking foward to a safe year next year for all of us thats what is most important.I'm sure you dont do it for the money and like you said the rest of us that have been around awhile dont for sure. We do it for the fun and be with some great friends we have made over the years,and look foward to always meeting new ones.Helping friends and team work is what make what we do so special.You will never assemble a better group of guys especial when one of us need help.We have to stay possitive and the reat will fall in to play.Remember we are the sport the racers are what make it happen and the sport will only be as good as we are.Dave your a class act and thats whats important,you know it and your friends do also keep it up the sport needs you.What is also important even after the flag drops I know god forbid you guys would be there for me if I need HELP!!!!

Prize money is divided equal between all classes, if you win
that pays around 1000.00. Entry fee's for all GLSCS races is
550.00,if you come from florida with a group of boats, I'll make you a deal you cant refuse.
There is a one time 75.00 membership for the GLSCS .
Look for more info on the silvercup website next week.
