Well time after time my point is missed. I haven't always supported everything APBA Offshore has done but the racing aspect is without a doubt better than it was several years ago. Race sites have been changed - so what? Lee Mills ? Have you ever been around Lee Mills for say over an hour at a time? What a joke , he's the type of guy that we hung our jock strap on in high school. I'll say it again APBA Offshore is a bigger family than just Alweiss , it's The Stars Rescue , the officials and racers that make up our group. I look at a race as a big family reunion. Another thing is you probally think I talk to Alweiss regularly - nope. I haven't spoke to him on the phone in over a year. Hell I couldn't even get my girlfriend in the wet pits in Sarasota and my boat was DQ'd in Marathon. No favortism here , we all play by the same rules. Hey and I actually thought you were hilarious calling the races - ahhhhhhhhhh CHRISTINE! B2h

I guess my objection still remains though...... why demonize anybody....... even Lee Mills? It takes away from the quality and content of too many threads.
My favorite Rich Luhrs line...which was from the Key West Worlds in 1985..... (before racing was any good
)Was concerning 3 guys in a Pantera who were "struggling" with the course navigation..... The line was...as I humbly recall...
"One wants to go left.....One wants to go right....... and one wants to go home!"
T2x
P.S....... A good case could be made that boat racing TV needs something like the "Wind Tunnel"...... Now if only they had a host...................

So many times since my last post I wanted to hit the quote button but this thread would be 10 pages long by now. So here it goes and if I miss somebody don't nail me to the cross because I am no carpenter.
T2x.....Thank you for the response and I do agree with you on the diversity of the sport. It needs to merge together. The mudslinging needs to stop. Any way shape or form I can help that to happen I will be glad to get involved. I am still and always will be pro racing only!
Shane......Terra, myself, and the kids are fine call once in a while bro.
Too Old......I have no words you are the consummate gentleman as always.
Joker.....best tag line I have seen in a while! Shut up and Race.
T2x......Propwash hosted by Rich Luhrs.
Gotta go, I'm out. 
Sean
P.S. "Big Smiles, Biiiigggg Smiles"
On another note be careful of the reinvented Hagen Dazs Ice Cream....It's a conspiracy I tell you!

I also thought Despain was Luhrs a while back. Man Rich would come up with some funny chit in front of the camera. See we all can get along " For the Love of The Sport - Offshore Powerboat Racing " - it's in our blood and as Rick Turmel best put it " The Needle is Deep in Our Arm"!
PS - Sean keep the white side down (your St Pete quote - haha)

What a worm.You think everything will go away if you simply delete your post????Not a chance dude.You certainly did write "KW is not sanctioned".Unless there are TWO Cashbrians on here.

Again, Mr. Brain is off base. The event in Orange Beach is THE APBA/UIM World Championships, as always. Each and every one of our events this year has been an APBA Offshore points event.
Mr. Brain, can you tell us where you get your information from? At least then we could all judge your credibility in context. Thanks.
Mike A.

Here are some more posts of many from Cashbrain about the LLC.Sounds like he;s really hoping LLC fails?In my OPINION it sounds a lot like he might be making some plans in case of the demise of the APBA-LLC???What do you guys thinK???Lots of money to be made if the APBA BOD cancels the LLC and gives an offshore license to someone else....
