Can't imagine anyone being so self centered or self serving that they would boycott KW simply because of any particular sanctioning body or individual. This event is about the sport of offshore racing and is going to be an awesome series of races for all racers and fans alike. Everyone says they want to be united - well here it is - Key West 2008!

Well said!, Mr KiloKat!

Just ask the Government for some cash.. They seem to be bailing out anyone and everyone (except the auto industry):mad:

It's always about Gino. Jim, Look at all the teams that did the same in OSS, OPA, SBI.:cool-smiley-011:

MANITIE 09-17-2008 01:20 PM

Jim....maybe we need to slow down...I never said you do not support SBI/APBA....

This is the point....
OSS made a offer to JC to only pay the reg fee's of $1650...
and here is my point....You race for 3 days, 2 days of testing, safety, prise money and racing in Key West....now JC gives you that...and in return the OSS racers are not going to support JC in any other of his races in 09.....and at the same time....its only coming down to a handfull of racers that are complaining.....

1. So you think JC should make a consetion to the OSS racers...even though most of them are already going to pay the full fee's.
2. The OSS racers are not going to support any of JC races in 09.
3. You have racers continuing to bust on his Org.

But yet its JC that should forfit money from his business to please 8 or so racers......thats my point....

As far as me not supoorting SBI/APBA...read my post a couple of pages back...I've been racing in SBI/APBA since the BOYCOT....But lets say I did not come to any of SBI/APBA races then the Worlds...I still pay all the fee's for the year and don't cry about it.....

I'm talking about teams who only want to pay $1650.....and still are not going to support SBI/APBA in there 09 season.....

MANITIE 09-17-2008 01:26 PM

Mike...we all know times are tough....and I think Frank says it best....we all can only do what we are capible of doing....no one is blaming that on anybody....TIMES ARE TOUGH.....but lets make the best of it....and like Frank said...If we don't see everyone down there this year....I'm sure we will next year....

Good luck in LOTO......

Kitten,
He said he supports SBI and doesn't just race the worlds with them. It isn't true this year.

Others didn't claim support.

Dean...it might be a little late but the fuel estimates just came out for Nov....it will be right around 3 bucks a gallon...but it looks like it won't happen till Nov 25th.....as long as there are no other Hurricans....

MOBILEMERCMAN 09-17-2008 01:33 PM

Gino,
You write the full commentary, My lunch break is over, I'm going back to work.

I am over this point. See you in Key West and I'll by you a beer.

Jim....Once again....I was scheduled to race this year in Miami, Ft Lauderdale and Sarasota with SBI/APBA.....but we have had boat issues....The Coast Guard also picked the sites....

But I guess I'm not aloud to have boat issues.....you right Jim...I don't support SBI/APBA...

And I'll buy the first round in Key West....see ya there.....

I think its all Gino fault and he should be band from Offshore Racing for life, and he should have to wash all the boats in KW.
