It showed at Biloxi and was inspected by the OSS officials. It was measured and checked for motor seals. The SVL class voted and said in the pre season that as racers we wanted the new boat to race with us to increase boat count in our class. So why wouldnt it have been allowed to race? You must have a point you are driving at. Spit it out and maybe I can help answer your question if its about the Fountain racing in OSS. If you are asking about it racing another org I cant help.

Not that it matters a whole lot at this point, but I believe it was APBA, not SBI, that did the "leaving" last year.

Default Leaving

The whole thing is a joke APBA was never welcome just as OSS wasnt welcomed with open arms this past year. It was meerly an attempt from sbi to get boats.

Same Crap Different Decade,I have been around it for many many years and it always comes back to this,to many racing organizations and not enough racers to fill the classes and then the crappy economy has hurt alot and on and on.I Hope it someday it gets fixed but I have my doubts but it comes down to the guys that are still racing,they are doing it because they love to race and have enough disposable income to waste to have some fun.

P1 is in,OSS is in,I believe POPRA is considering, what would happen if OPA joined? Isnt that getting us all to our common goal of one org. Everyone gives a little of there power up to a common APBA banner. Yes we can get back to one org. Its called APBA.
And no I am not mad at you. Just challenging your statement.

APBA is not going to unify the sport, even if P1, OSS, POPRA and OPA join. That still leaves John Carbonell in charge of Florida and Key West and he's not going to join any other organization. APBA will rejoin SBI or no unification is possible. It's JC's way or the highway you better believe it.

Just my .02
