Randy,
You make alot of sense.I cant figure out why some guys racing P4 & P5 would not want to step up; particularly the guys with homologated boats with HP 500/Bravo packages.Besides the opportunity to win some money to offset expenses; the prestige and the exposure of Factory 1 also offers alot more to current and potential sponsors as you have personally shown.I hope this happens because I think eveyone agrees that Factory 1 is the one of the best classes, that could even be better with 15+ boats.Gino should be commended for bringing a national sponsor to the sport, what a great opportunity for the Factory 1 Class and all of APBA Offshore!

F1-52 Offshore Addiction will be there...

Randy,
Maybe we need to do talk to some of these P-4 and P-5 guys when we are at the races our first year we made over $11,000 in selling apperal not at the race site but in our hometown I would be even willing to talk to them on sponsorship to get them into F1. I would even be willing to lease my HP 500 with only 19.8 hours on it to put into a P-4 or P-5 boat to run F1 if nobody want's to lease the boat
