An Instigators Point of View...

It's Monday the week of... in 4 days teams will be assembling to race, and compete in a daring and courageous challenge along a razors edge of danger and risk, at high speed in the water! Some of you will participate, attend as spectators, and for all the other reasons combined.

Whether you can witness any powerboat racing or not this weekend, in person, word has it, you will see it on network television this fall. If you can be in Marathon, FL. as a spectator or competitor, seriously consider it! This sport and interest, needs every element of it, to show up.

For the competitors, this is a sanctioned qualifying race, leading up to a shot at the National Championship Title, sanctioned by U.I.M. Internationally, and APBA Offshore in North America (Nationally). A national sanctioning credibility, from APBA through alot of hardwork for an offshore distinction, by Mike A. in St. Petersburg, FL., then merged with SBIP.

The National Championship will be held along the shores of one of North America's favorite beach's, Clearwater Beach, FL. a new venue, that will live up to the highest expectations. From the best hospitality, to the coolest beach loving community in the country. Every aspect of what will make this an incredible event to work towards is in play.

Unique to Clearwater Beach as the site for the National Championships is the viewability, for the spectators... and the fast track on actual offshore conditions! The entire race course will be within your view, even if your standing on the beach, in the sand! The race course is naturally pushed by shallow waters out into deeper seas, as the straight away along the shoreline progresses... Spectators will be able to attend the spectacle from every vantage conceivable... with the boats never leaving your view, around a bend or so far down the beach there out of sight.

The helicopters flying in persuit, the entire spectacle on water, as if someone built a Daytona Speedway in the Gulf of Mexico! Inject the whole scene with network sports television coverage, and this is going to go to a whole other level! But, you got a qualify and participate, offshore racers. The next qualifying opportunity is in Marathon, Florida in 4 days!

Get your teams and your boats to Marathon, and as many of the SBIP events needed, so you can be apart of the history we will make in Clearwater, on October 2nd thru the 4th! Then we can enjoy watching the spectacle on television next winter. Get in the race....
