and RGIII!

Poo......I'll help Bruce by answering......if you only knew the truth. Bruce has a certain way of pissing people off because of the things he knows (1st hand knowledge). He is one of the only people that I know that has the balls to speak up and say what is on his mind. Most of the time he is correct and the truth is hard to beat. That is why he is always accepted back. Maybe someday when you have a 12 pack and 6 hours he could start to tell you the things he knows........
P.S.- this is not directed at any of the original 12:food-smiley-007:

WE MISS YOU CURTIS. YOU COMING BACK ANYTIME SOON?

Why not? SBI/APBA invited any racers to come and race at the Key West Offshore World Championship. The Plumber has payed his dues and has supported the sport for at least 3 decades. I read that he filed a protest last year that didn't sit well with a lot of racers and that protest was responsible for many of them forming there own group. So be it, its over and the race goes on and I for one would hate to see anybody leaving Offshore Powerboat Racing because there may not be that many new entries into the sport right now. Did he make a mistake? It's not up to me to judge. What I do know is that when I have seen him race I always enjoyed watching him put on a show for the race fans. I hope he continues to race and I commend SBI/APBA for letting him. It's time for the healing process to begin by everyone.

well said

I'll judge him. I was on the conference calls before he shafted APBA LLC and not only did he get up the group to boycot The Worlds he signed a document to say they'd go and then renigged. And for what? What was his vision and where is the plan now? Dude you have no idea what you're talking about.

WOW Only one boat in each class? (Sarcasm alert)

Pretty piss poor coverage for the end all to be all of races... I see and read people ***** about lack of sponsorship, lack of money and boat racing being a second rate sport and I’m starting to see why. Would it be that difficult to post results up on a web site that fans of offshore racing could get the full results in a timely fashion? A site were team owners could feel comfortable directing there sponsors or potential sponsors to? Is having the results posted (pending appeals) in a straight forward fashion with sponsors listed really that much to ask in this age of wireless internet and communication?

Re: final results.......

Scoring issues will be completed, and final results will be posted by the end of today.

Scoring issues are being checked by SBI officials and until those issues are solved, there will be no "official" posting of the final results. Awards were given as "unofficial" standings.........
Unofficial results were announced over WAIL99 and on the internet, but OFFICIAL results will only be posted on the SBI website when they are completed.

So unofficial results cannot be posted but awards can be given as unofficial? Also, what if I was not online all weekend 24/7; I lose out? I see one days racing has been posted on the SBI site, is it that difficult to post the other 2?
