You know that feeling that you get when you buy something expensive and a few days later feel like you made a big mistake........ oooohhhh, I dont feel so good.

i know, no one has a gun to my head! but, 2004 is here, your still talking about things that should have been set in stone long ago, and i gota VERY large, expensive piece of racing machinery sitting here.

"could remain unchanged"...you said it right there! i would like to know WILL REMAIN UNCHANGED!

"You will save tremendous amounts of money over the long haul running a 496HO package over the 500 or 525. "...how do you know that! you have extensive knowledge of engine? hell miklos never has to change the oil in his vortec...it's the best thing in the world...ask UTZ's crew their thoughts on that program.

80 mph would seem DAMN boring in an F2 boat!

"and then look what happened. Was it the boat or the operators? "....well, it's fixed...that's all i will say...O, other than the people involved REALLY stepped up to the plate!

hey Mr. O that guy on that surf board is going faster than your proposed new F1 boat could go...w/o protective gear! OMG...maybe they need a canopy? no one ever dies surfing do they???

Not alot of deaths surfing but when someone thrashes around in the water too much they usually come up with an arm or leg missing! BH

i looked it up...more die of skin cancer!

Hey Mike,


I wanted to hear your opinion on this.

Even though I did not have the chance to attend the Alabama Worlds race it seems to me that from looking at that race coarse layout in Alabama with approximately 8 mile laps,longer straights,and less turning involved that it would be safer than a tighter coarse with more turns and extra laps. What is your opinion on this.It seems to me the fans have the same exposure to the racing action and a safer race coarse to race in.

I support the 496 HO change but like I said in my early post last night I don't feel the speed in F1 and F2 is the problem, it's the new era of racing with stepped bottom boats,tighter coarses with more turns,and the closer competition which is good.

Any accidents occur in Alabama ?? What was the feeling of the racers in a longer race coarse layout ??

I will support you guys either way just giving some input.

Regards,

JO

By the way the only reason I brought the race coarse layouts question up is because we are discussing also the current speeds in the Factory classes and what to do to increase the safety to the racers in the class.

I am not busting Balls!!!

HEY JO !!!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY
