Can anyone confirm that APBA and SBI are going to run a joint 4th of July race?

There is some talk about it...Stayed tuned for confirmation

Excellent! The two premier offshore racing organizations together at arguably the most popular race site.

This is some really good news thus far. These two groups have not worked together in sometime. Congrats to all that made this possible. I have not looked at any schedules but does OSS have a conflicting date or could they possibly run with these two groups as well? Something like this can only better the sport but hey maybe I am just to optimistic. I will keep my fingers crossed for the Racers and the Fans.

FANTASTIC!! Sorry boss, I am not working that week!!

Sarasota is awesome, looking foward to it.
Way to go whoever made this happen

Looks to be a great event!

Yes, we will be there. You want to ride down with us? Terrah's Birthday weekend, so we will make it a fun trip!

Sounds great--Had a great time at Marathon (my first time there), now I plan to go to Sarasota for the first time.

Any recommendation where to stay close to the course??

This is one of the best as far as hotels.....close to St Armands Circle and great view. I just made my reservations.
