I just checked out your site. Is Rich getting out of racing, or is he getting a new boat? That old boat has been one of my favorites since it was "Dragon Lady".

Rich is attempting to purchase Zneitx from Lake Cumberland Marine. He's tired of viewing the stern from his drivers seat. Now he needs a replacement throttleman because Doug Lewis will not race SBI.

Rich Troppoli is racing SBI this coming year?

No need to worry folks. Being a member of Shockwave Racing Team. The boat is up for sale for a bigger and better one. Where did this info come from???????????????????????
No need to worry, details are coming together each day. Rich is a very dedicated race and loves the sport very much. He has been racing for many years. He is just looking to be out in front this year and I am having no doudt that he will be. If he lets me or if he chooses to do so himself I am sure he will make a statement.

Hi Dennis, ShockWave's ad is posted in my Classified section on my website WWW.SHARKEYMARINE.COM As far as what santioning body he is racing under? I would guess you would need to ask "Amused" where that info came from. See ya in AC Feb 9th! from, "The retired Navigator of SHOCKWAVE" '88-92

Dear Amused:

Your post is amusing! FYI: Doug Lewis has nothing against racing SBI or any other viable race organization. He has raced UIM, NPBA, APBA, OPT, USO, SBR (Super Boat Racing) AND SBI!!! Surely that's more racing experience than you or just about any other person on this board has accomplished.

Don't engage your mouth (or in this case your fingers) before checking the facts!

Way to go Guys and Gals!!!!!!
AMUSED NEEDS TO SIT BACK AND KEEP HIS TRAP SHUT!!!!! YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO VOICE ANY OPINION WHAT SO EVER. THE PERSON IS PROBABLY A LIL BIT JEALOUS. KEEP YOUR TRAP SHUT OR HAVE IT SHUT FOR YOU. "THAT IS NOT A JOKE" OR BETTER YET "GET A LIFE, SHOCKWAVE OFFSHORE RACING YOU DO NOT BELONG TOO, SORRY TO GIVE YOU A REALITY CHECK.

Thanks LeeAnn, Oops! I mean Mrs. Doug Lewis "The Original SHOCKWAVE Navigator" That should keep this from becoming another APBA vs SBI thread. Everyone knows, we already had enough of them. See you guys soon!!!
