Default One of the best race sites ever....

Thanks to SBI/APBA, AMF, the Pro Series guys, Dave Branch, Dave Scott and Bud Select, Talk Offsore and the rest of the guys who supported this race.....
Its been a while to have racers from all Orgs at one race site....and what better site....
To all who were invoved in the live TV...what a outstanding job....the close ups the camera's were getting of the boats...you could see the sponsors on the boats...
This is so helpful for the racers to go out and get sponsors...
The ground work has been layed out for the racers....
The the amount of spectator boats were unreal....and they had them so close, the viewing had to be great...and then to come around turn 2 and head towards the beach and see nothing but the beach packed with people .....
A racer could not ask for anything more then we received in Sarasota.....

Just an outstanding job all around....Hats off.....

2007 is turning out to be what the racers have been looking for....
Good boat counts...
Great race sites...
TV.....
and having fun.....

John H.

Thanks for all you have done for the sport.....things can get frustrating with all that gose on in Offshore.....but yet you have hung in there and invested a lot of your time and a lot of money for this sport and the racers....and never said its not worth it....you have helped the racers and this sport in so many ways from:
Sponsoring teams..
Feeding us...
Working with all Orgs.
TV....(You have taking it to a whole new level)....and so much more we all could go on and on.....and you ask for nothing in return....
Where most people can only work with one or two....you have worked with everyone to take this sport to the next level...

Thanks for everything.....


Jeff...great pic...I will call you tomorrow...

Thanks...

Couldn't agree with you more Gino. Sarasota was what offshore racing should be like at every venue. Hat's off to everyone involved and especially to Kevin Brown and his volunteers who work so hard before, during and after each Sarasota event.

I just watched the video and I have to say that was one of the largest spectator fleet of boats that I have seen at a race in a long long time!

Thank you to all of you guys for not giving up on this sport.
A huge difference is being made and with backing like AMF/Miss Geico and Budweiser Select and the many others that contribute to this sport, it is a win win situation for all of the racers, race sites, sponsors and fans!

THANK YOU !!!

We can add...
One Shoe Dave Scott to the list!

You never stop impressing me, at the races!
