Default Offshore Racing: Two Is Enough—For Now

I can be as hard as anyone on offshore racing, but http://boatermouth.com//index.php?vi...ntent&Itemid=8.

Of course it would be a lot better with bigger fleets and better parity. But it is what it is. For now.

I never understood the circus show and championships with single boat count. Will the next millionaire please get in touch w/ me so I can show you how to really make history in offshore powerboat racing.

ps........It won't take a million dollars either.

Right with you on the single-boat-in a-class thing.

About six years ago, I competed at the 24-hour Mountain Biking Nationals with my four-rider team. There were four teams in our class. Three quit riding when it got dark. My team didn't, and we "won" a "national" title.

Needless to say, my "national championship" jersey has never seen the light of day, at least on my body.

Well the GF and I sat down and watched Versus last weekend, the Ocean City Race. Some of it wasn't bad. But we quickly tired of the constant interviews, which at some points, completely overshadowed the race coverage. We also noticed something else at the same exact time and said "Who the heck is he racing against"? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm sorry, I don't like watching cars race around an oval making left hand turns all day either. But at least it's a race. Most of the You Tube videos for Poker Runs and even fun runs is more exciting, and no interviews.

How about a reality TV show that features a boat that tours the nation for Poker runs?

It's an obvious feature and draw. Plenty of people willing to do it, and plenty can afford to do it.

Very few people on here have experienced over 20 boats in the same class going into turn 1. If you ever get the chance you will never forget it. I had the chance in F1 and F2 and until the spec classes come back I'm going to keep beating the drum.
