NC Huge Turnout
With the kilo's behinds us, 50 boat answered roll call at the drivers meeting. With more on the way it should be another huge boat count for SBI/APBA.
Local press is reporting an expected 70 boats for this race.

Cmon Frank....lets be real here.
Who cares what the local press is reporting? Do they have a list of registered boats? 50 boats is a great turnout but lets not make it bigger than what it is. There were 48 in St Clair. The press boasted 70 boats too. 48 was a Great turnout , but could have been better with more than 14 P-boats.

On Friday, by lunchtime, more than 40 boats already had registered for the St. Clair race. The local press expects 60 boats.

Re: NC Huge Turnout
Bruce,
50 boats answered roll call at the drivers meeting and some boats are still on the way, sorry if that upsets you and I don't know why it should. No one posted anything negative about ST. Clair. Just posted info. I get for the fans,so we all know whats going on.I'm sure you know plenty of people there that you can check with, last report I got was that the Pitts were packed and they were starting to put boats across the street. SBI/ APBA has been averaging 45-50 (65 in Sarasota) most of the year so I don't see the big surprise. Now with some of the OSS boats coming over that number might be up a little but its been pretty steady. Alot of P boats couldn't make it and we are short 2 F1 boats this weekend also so I think the number will be even bigger in Panama.With almost 100 registered members ( check the web site for the list of members) I would hope we get 50-60 boats a race....
You don't really think I'm going to post ever boat thats where,wish I had the time.
Lets keep it positive and all enjoy doing what we love to do, no matter where it may be.Good luck to you guys on your next race.
