They moved pin 4 back toward 3 on Sunday and really loosened the dog leg up. They should have done it Saturday with 42 boats racing ...half the fleet in one race!

I believe APBA got the message loud and clear from most of us racers. Our problem with the turn and safety was not worth *****ing about at that time. With the loss of a fellow racer our thoughts were more on him and his family, it was not the right time to be protesting rules.
With that said I am still pissed and feel we were wronged. In the spirit of racing and good sportsmanship. We will except the APBA's decision as to what they feel was fair in the turn that we missed. As humans we do make mistakes and may everyone please be safe.

Talked with BH today , If they still let the PX boats race with the F1 boats which I think is wrong . How about letting the PX boats not do the left turn on the course that would keep them outside the whole fleet the whole race and never have to cross over to the inside at all!

Not even close Rick. Let them run with Super Cat. I don't want them on the course at the same time as us at all. EVERY team has agreed with this. NO EXCEPTIONS
