LOL that's all you can do at this point. IMO when you sign a deal that means you thought it threw and will do what you say. For god sakes this is a charity event !!

there are enough local teams to keep it semi interesting .that's all they need.

Just to be clear: This story has nothing to do with the teams planing to come to Sarasota, only Race World Offshore's offshore exit from involvement. I spoke to Mark Small of the Supercat 750 Owners Group yesterday and he confirmed that the group members still have Sarasota on their schedules and no plans to change. I have not checked in with contacts in the Unlimited ranks, but I have zero reason to believe their plans to compete in Sarasota have changed.

This story is/was for all intents and purposes a business/trade story.
