Bryan,
You guys better be careful u have a big a$$ target on your back now.

Re: Key West "07"
 

Congrat's on signing the new contract. What is the plan to boost race boat attendance?

Re: Key West "07"
 

I'm not really sure that is an issue, the City was very happy with the turn out . This years Worlds was the largest single event KW had for '06' ... but not to say that more boats would be even better. I guess its up to the teams to decide where they want to race the stage is set . I know for me personally KW is the only Worlds that I would want to be at... It doesn't get any better then Duval St, and the Keys in Nov. All the fans I spoke to loved it ,and looking forward to next year !

Re: Key West "07"
 

The table is set, let's get to the main course. Key West in Nov. is a tradition like Thanksgiving. Let's go racing boys.

Re: Key West "07"
 

Alright, I'll throw it out there; Are there any talks going on with OSS, OPA, POPRA, ORL and others to determine if their will be a "joint venture" race similar to 2004 or will this just be a SBI race again? Just curious... Thanks.

Re: Key West "07"
 

If that were to happen I suggest to book the rooms right away!!! that would be great for offshore racing, a true worlds to determine one champion.

Re: Key West "07"
 

Bingo!

Re: Key West "07"
 

Thanks Steve.

Re: Key West "07"
 

Hey Ben,

Why would OSS be in any talks anyway....they have a 5 year contract for there Wolrds in Destin.....

Re: Key West "07"
 

who says oss has a five year contract. with destin do you know that for sure or are you just simple saying that.
just curious....

Re: Key West "07"
 

I heard the same thing a while back that they had a contact with Destin.

Re: Key West "07"
 

as a fan.....I went to Destin this year (only cause our air fare got screwed up) Destin was very nice but it was'nt Key West.

Every thing was so spred out, ya had to do alot of driving, its a good thing I don't drink! :drink: :D

The worlds should always be in Key West, Hopefully this year (2007) all the racers will work out all there differences and meet in Key West!!!!

Again Destin is a cool place.....But it's like having the Daytona 500.........someplace other than Daytona Beach!!!!

Just a fan ;)

Re: Key West "07"
 

Thats It,
Hopefully we'll see you in KW next year, you missed some great racing and great parties.

Re: Key West "07"
 

I'll be there!!!!!!! Will book trip as soon as I know the correct dates!

Re: Key West "07"
 

Here's a crazy thought. What if the "Organizations" quit scheduling the two "Worlds" at the same time. What if the people who pay most of the bills and put on the show were allowed to decide this issue for themselves. Does it really jeprodize the "Master Plan" if the Teams who qualify and choose to do so, race both?

Would it be such a stretch to view the other U.S. Worlds and the other U.S. organizations for that matter, as we do the European circuits? I think we were all happy to see Gary and Paul place well in Dubai. What twisted mentality would diminish their acheivement be it Key West, Ocean City, Destin? SQ

Re: Key West "07"
 

KW Worlds will be Nov 4-11th 2007
