Offshore History Question (Help Please)
 

I need a little help, and I'm sure that someone here has the answer.

1.) When was the last time APBA or SBI raced less than three races at their World Championships? (not including a storm situation)

2.) How many of the last 25 years has this happened?

The furthest back that I can find is 1988 (from a Sports Illustrated article no less.....................

And to think they used to run a Kilo Run through the harbor there on Thursday between races too!

I hadn't heard that - would love to have seen it though. What was the first year you went to KW Sharkey?

Re: Offshore History Question (Help Please)
 

I was there in 1987,88,89,90,91 and 95 if memory serves me right???

Re: Offshore History Question (Help Please)
 

I probably drank a beer and watched you run at a few of those! Were all of those races a three race format?

Re: Offshore History Question (Help Please)
 

I know that back in 88 they ran 3 races. When we raced in 95 it was two races. The last time SBI ran a two race format was New Orleans 2002. In 2003, SBI went back to a three race format.

I believe APBA LLC ran two race worlds.

93 thru i think 2003 was a 2 race format

Re: Offshore History Question (Help Please)
 

Come to think of it, yes, the 95 race was only 2 races.

I was at Key West in 1982-spectating, it was a 3 race format back then...

I bet Jeff at Freeze Frame would know the answer to this one.

Re: Offshore History Question (Help Please)
 

There were 3 races for along time, they raced Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday or Sunday. In the Mid 90's there started doing the 2 race format for some reason. I really like the 3 race deal, not really the half points for the first two, but the endurance factor of three races. I like when Copeland, Gentry, Campbell would come to KW with 20 motors and have them lined up in there tents.

I never raced Key West, but have been as a spectator many times. There is no doubt that the fans prefer three races.

Re: Offshore History Question (Help Please)
 

I do like the two short race, one long race format.
