Yep, thanks. I was hoping it would be a little earlier. The last one shows 12:00 to 1:00. That is perfect for channel surfers during a lunch snack I think. (At least me. :))

Like I was saying: Perhaps it's not the answer but it's the most biggest and likely to be watched we have seen. It might not fix us but it will leave a mark.

Thats Great(for us), but are they promoting it in any way, or are the only ones watching going to be us forum boaters, or those who happen to catch it while channell surfing? They should put it out there in an ad somehow(during other sports shows maybe) to let the general public know about it, lots of people I know would love to watch a boat race from their couch, but wont, or cant follow it around the country like we do.

That time slot rating is between 600 and 700 thousand. They r working on some promo adds also I believe they r using some footage from Ft Lauderdale.

I realize this, I just want to make sure they get the general public interested as that is what was intended. You know how it is at a race site, other than Key West and Sarasota(and some of the newer ones outside of FL), nobody knows whats going on, we spend half the race explaining it to them when we should be on the radio with you:driving:

Can local CBS stations do their own thing and broadcast something else since this is a network program ?
I fear turning the TV on and seeing a infomerical in those time slots.

No sorry Ed CBS local cant change the programming and since CBS is the only station you get on your television, you are forced to watch it. They have developed a new figamajig that if you try and turn it off you will be shocked. Dont worry I heard the prototype only felt like grabbing a cow fence. We all apologize that these measures had to be taken with you, but if you dont watch, CBS will go out of business and we will lose some quality programming. Please Ed I beg of you, dont screw it up for the rest of us.:dupe:

You are right George, Ed I am sorry. In previous years, when Reggie paid for offshore to be on television the detractors always whined and complained that it was a "Fountain Infomercial". With Reggie paying for it, why shouldn't it have been. You can easily see where your post could be misunderstood. To answer your re-post that clarified, in speaking with CBS National a little while ago, shows listed as "Spectaculars" will be carried nationwide with the local CBS stations having to carry it as part of their contracts with the network. In summary, no, the local stations can not put an infomercial over this broadcast. Can I guarantee this, absolutely not, I am merely a messenger and called them directly and asked them.

gotta say that somebody called this BS back then and got ridiculed.

even more suprising is the nobody has stood up and questioned sbi's lack of doing what it said was the "next big thing" for offshore, the CBS tv deal.

ahh just another empty promise. hopefully all those guys that were talking about having sponsorship $$$ because of sbi's TV deal got paid up front.

wonder if JC is going to give you guys a discount on the KW race???

I will no longer be an 'unofficial' apologist for John Carbonell... The only producer of powerboat racing I will look to for leadership and what direction anything is going from now on is Smitty.

However, responsibility for paying the producer of the filming and getting the 'time-buy' aired was on Danny Gadarian's shoulders. JC was in over his head... I was told by Frank Chivas, that filming with the HD television cameras at Clearwater was provided by Frank Chivas. Since Danny Gadarian was a no show...

TV coverage is the topic of every other sentence in every conversation going on in the back ground, to resolve the future direction of where things will end up. Get your facts from Smitty, let everything else, take it's natural course.

Danny Gadarian used this number to call me after I signed the letter of intent to bring SBI to Clearwater last Jan. 25th, **********He's the one with the answers... from what he said.

Sorry guys... this is the man that told me I was the big mouth running around Clearwater! He was going to get the Sheriff and run me out of town! Its personal, no doubt about it!

Just PM me a request for the number, for this J... A..!

I tried to get Coach to tell what his association with the SBI race was in the GEICO thread and was told by someone there (Maximus) he had an official position with the race. I thanked him for correcting me and also realized that was the wrong thread for discussing Coach.

Coach also called me out and suggested I PM him and we could discuss resumes. My position is I have no resume and I'm not trying to promote/organize or sell anything related to racing which I think he is trying and that impacts me the fan.

ED,,,,i apriciate your intrest in racing as a fan. but please do not believe COACH,,he really did a little behind the sence of the clearwater race but he is a scammer and a wannabe with absolutley NO clue about boats or racing.
He was my marketing guy and did nothing but cost me money ,nervs and nothing absolutley nothing came from it.
Then after a little outfall i had he went and called a friend behind my back and gave him a "real" deal just to shut me up.
Thats the kind of person he is.
A NOBODY.
The only thing he wants to market is his name.

I won't post mine but I will tell you that when he got upset with me for not being a messenger and agreeing to tell JC how much he could do for SBI, he called me rude and "Patty"..............guess how that worked out.

All we want to know, is there or is there not going to be television?

What was stated in the drivers meeting Sat morning(Clearwater) that the previous tv schedule that was released by SBI as well as CBS was running into production issues and/or delays and would not be broadcast at this time. However Key West would be broadcast(no dates released) and a determination would be based off of ratings as to if the rest of the races would be broadcast. This was taken from my drivers notes as I was not in attendance and I am sure that someone that was there can correct me or elaborate further that was there.

Now I am not an apologist or anything of the sort and will only apologize for my actions, but I drew a line in the sand based off of doing my due diligence of calling CBS' headquarters directly and them confirming television. I apologize for drawing the line in the sand and basing my information not only from what SBI had posted, but also CBS Sports had posted and then removed.

For these actions on my part, I apologize to everyone(even you Jim). I made a mistake believing and yes based on SBI's notorious past of salesmanship I figured that CBS telling me the information it was on the up and up. I was really looking forward to Offshore racing in general to make leeps and bounds in the right direction with this move, but it goes back to the same sensation I have had for quite a few years of the racers are just turds in a toilet and the associations just keep flushing it. I love this sport almost too much and I guess the plumbing aint right cause I'm still one of the kids still floating in the pool. I am not however jumping ship on JC as he is a good man and has bent over backwards for my team and I, and the obvious fact of looking at a map, it makes sense for me to run primarily with SBI. As I have said time and time again and I wont back down from it, All Associations have fleas......

Hopefully Key West is broadcast and the ratings are great so this situation can be put behind us and offshore racing can be the sport that we all feel it should be.

To the willingness on Kevin Dunbar's part, the Parks Director for the City of Clearwater, to let me run with the 'maybe' I got from him, instead of the previous ‘NO’s!

Once we had beaten out the competition from several other cities, by sticking my neck out, to sign the letter of intent, for the national championships! Not knowing how or if we could get it all done and paid for! It's a huge undertaking of faith, for everyone involved.

I wonder why u know more then the people talking to CBS ???

U are a real smart guy ,,,trying to bash SBI and everything that has to do with it becasue u purchased a boat that is sitting in your yard and your to broke to race it .....mmmhhhhh

So just so we are on the same page ,,,YOUR WRONG ABOUT THE CBS DEAL, MORE THEN LIKLEY IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN !!!!!!!!:USA:

I think you are a angry little F... that is cheallos of people trying to get ahead in live ?!

yep, sure it is. next your going to tell us that your going to finish a race.

i don't need to bash sbi, their track record speaks for itself. first sbi said it was a go, then it's delayed ($$$$ issues), now if everyone shows up in KW that will be televised, just not sure when or where ?? then maybe the rest of the races ?

come scotty, your really not the dumb to fall for this line of BS agian, are you ? did you really sign a deal and give $$$ to some stranger thinking he was going to get you sponsorship ?

you answered that email from the guy in kenya, didn't ya. i knew it.

I did not pay the guy money i spend money on stuff that i wouldn't have done if he would of not promissed me $$$$$....thats all.
He still is a Scammer.
Anyhow,,,if u read the post above , u will see also that your statement about SBI using the CBS deal to get Clearwater, is not right .
They did not even know there was TV when they had that meeting month back.

It really sems to me u need to take some vicodin's and sit back ,,,,your all angry and wound up about U not racing. thats your probl;em. DON'T PLAME OTHER PEOPLE WITH YOUR MISTAKES .

Umm Dave, I never, nor have I seen anyone post $$$$ issues. However it has been posted and announced that there are PRODUCTION issues and/or delays. Please since you know everything about everything fill us in!!! You know us keyboard racers have to stick together, oh wait, I aint a keyboard racer anymore, I race.

You have clearly shown that you have a habit of speaking w/o any verifiable facts to back up your statements and for that matter you are the first person I have ever seen on these board systems that knows more than DD. Thats a feat in itself that since you cant race, you should be proud of it. DD might break everytime, but he shows, which is more than you.

Please Mr Know-it-all since you know first hand what SBI is doing or not doing, fill us in, I have decisions to make based off of what transpires. The sooner I get the facts that you know all to well, I can make those decisions. Oh wait you thought European P1 boats come from the Middle East, shows what you know. Never mind, you have proven on SOS as well as OSO that you know nothing as to what is really going on. Have fun behind the keyboard!!!:seeya:

Nobody said it wasn't on the "up and up".....it was and is....you don't have to apologize to anyone for anything.
S - - - happened and it is being re-worked.

Pat,

Dangling the entire world of offshore powerboat racing, venues and media outlets for months, then backing out on the topic two days after MH City, and ten days before Clearwater!

Danny Gadarian has been a 'No Show' big mouth, since telling everyone he could get this done! Like so many things in his track record, S... happened, just like you said. Danny Gadarian was a no show the morning the TV production problems were to be ironed out on a conference call, the day Brian Aungst in Clearwater pulled the CBS Sports logo's off everything, website, posters everything!

Danny Gadarian told everyone at the original press conference in Clearwater announcing the CBS Sports coverage, that each pending venue would be approached in advance, and the production would be promoted. Another 'No Show' example!

It's was never JC's responsibility to get this done, it was the 'No Show' Danny Gadarian! Now if it actually gets on TV it will happen because of the pressure and benevolence of the sports greatest contributor, and their sponsor. Not SBI or the no show artist!

How did Rich say that last May?
"They shot the gun before they loaded it!"

Once again if you want the answers call Danny Gadarian, I have his number if you need it, send me a PM...

I really apologize for dragging this back to day 1 but why are we turning the Clearwater event into a bunch of angst because of the TV stuff?

From what I read the actual raceday was well attended, had great support from the public, was well organized and in the end was one that could be put in the " success " column.

Admittedly there is some discussion who should be credited for all that, the instigator, the community deep pocket facilitator or SBI or all of the above BUT why overshadow all of that success with this BS TV topic ?

This sport hopefully is not hanging its whole existence on whether CBS shows up to film it. What can the best TV coverage of this stuff amount to? 3 or 4 one hour shows at best?

Racers want to race and the followers of this sport are already fast boat enthusiasts. TV isnt going to convert any couch potatoes to the sport we love.

For those that want a film of themselves racing need only to support the guys that already make their income by following all this and hang upside down out of a helicopter race after race.

CBSs deal is short lived at best and shouldnt ruin the successes or overshadow the successes any of the race organizations accomplish without them.

A shame that this crap divides us all.

KW will be KW as always . CBS or not.

To whoever made Clearwater a great day, congratulations.

Pat,

(Said that after hearing the CBS Sports coverage announcement, at the press conference Danny Gadarian shoved downed Frank Chivas's throat in Clearwater back in April this year!

Rich our most experienced 'ICON' of the topic (media coverage) in the world of powerboat racing wrote:

"They shot the gun, before they loaded it!")

Danny Gadarian shot the gun before he loaded it!

Ray Pusillo

I also wrote this before Clearwater:

The community in Clearwater has long understood that media attention and exposure are the means by which the wheels turn, for your need for speed, on water...

I spoke with Frank Chivas at length yesterday the fact that our title sponsor is Bright-House Cable the largest cable TV provider on the west coast of Florida is a huge factor along this line.

We understood early on that the 'time-buy' program was a venture at risk from the beginning! All of our businesses begin as ventures at risk. The event in Clearwater is a venture at risk....

Our sport of offshore powerboat racing is at risk!

I would encourage participation any where and everywhere, any of us can, that love this incredible sport!

The new venue's such as Michigan City, Clearwater Beach and others are the new blood and enthusiasm we all need. The success in Lake of the Ozarks this weekend for OSS, and this past season overall for OPA, is a tribute to our strength and determination to survive these difficult times.

Sunny Isle Beach event was a miraculous experience, to see it persist on...

Clearwater needs every race team that can attend, they will light a flame so bright that media attention will not be able to ignore it! Many of you have your SBI dues paid and are planning to attend Key West in November.

Make your way to Clearwater, please everyone! This is a site for every team to bask in and be treated like Gladiators!

The filming for CBS Sports has a heart beat still, for specifics contact SBI, for those answers. From the sincere interests of Clearwater who are hosting and presenting themselves here, with or without CBS TV coverage, the show is going on as scheduled, the media coverage will be massive!

Thank you all who gave me the chance to do it.
and Like I Said at the Prize ceremony I´ll be back and you´ll better be watching your asses.

Finally after all these years I had a dream come true.
It took 25 yrs for me to do it again.
To Be apart of Racing in U.S.A,that is.
My dream has always been after I left racing circles ( ASA Late Models ) in the states to hear the sentence : Gentlemen start your engines... then fire away and hear 30+ others doing the same and go fast, turn left around 500 miles for a few hours.
Well that didn´t happen this time but actually it was something better.
I never thought I could get a shot at racing offshore over there and there wasn´t many before my stunt over here either.
Now I think I broke some (sacred) ground... and this thing will catch on and I´ll do my best to continue and help others in their similar efforts.

Hey look at me , look what I did for boat racing
SBI is sh.t OSS is better but OPA isnt bad either
You're a racer..but never finish a race
The saviour of all this is the guy that has KW
We need CBS or we are all going to die

All of this is pure crap.

You know whats going to make boat racing exist?

A guy with some money and a bunch of buddies in a shop with a couple of boxes of beer. A guy that loves speed with big balls that hates someone passing him who has the attitude that he can have some fun 4 or 5 times a year with some other like thinking pals that at the end of it all says " Phuck, that was a riot and I'm going to do it again next year.
And you know what? He's going to do it next year whether Coach is there waving his own flag or whether the venue is sh.t or whether the weather didnt cooperate and especially whether CBS shows up or not.
He's going to be there because he loves it.

This sport needs no one if the racer stays home.

And today, on your long weekend , the real racer has his boat in a million pieces with his buddies and there is one extra box of beer and they are havin fun talkin about turn 6 at this race and the skank they got drunk at this event or the guy everyone caught peeing in the bushes at Cambridge.

Thats who makes this all work...the boys and their toys.

If it isnt SBI OSS or OPA they will always find someone to put this all together, and it will go on together FOREVER. They do it. We talk about it.

They put as much credence into all this crap as a ball of sh.t.

Long live the DOERS and screw the PRETENDERS.

I'm going to vent my last comment on all this and leave it all up to everyone that's taking time, to read and ponder, then perhaps add to this conversation.

The unfulfilled promises are the root of the problems here! Someone promoting that TV coverage is at his finger tips is the poison in the porridge!

Someone saying he's going to pay money to a team for the decals on the boat, from a major international casino and restaurant chain!

Someone saying he will sponsor a new world class venue with the same casino chain money, and a respected Native American associations money! Brian Aungst and Frank Chivas didn't get the check yet, Danny!

The topic of the CBS Sports coverage of SBI powerboat racing and why it was pulled from the CBS corporate website 'Sports Spectacular Schedule'! Is a topic Danny Gadarian is responsible for... period!

Unfulfilled promises of race event dollars, remember that one? The announcement in Marathon... $2 to $3 thousand per team to come and race on and cover expenses!

That's all Scott Rutherford needed, Bruce Seroff, George, and on and on... The root of the problem is being a 'No Show'! It's amazing by contrast to see the difference with who does show!

Miss GEICO Racing...

and all the teams that participated at any level this past year, where ever they entered!

The producers that show up...

The communities that showed up...

The spectators that showed up...

Then finally the group that made it all possible with their investments of sponsorship cash, that actually showed up...

Danny Gadarian, you didn't you show up!

For the record. TV had no impact on us for coming to race with SBI. I chose to run Sarasota because I heard it was a great race for a great cause. I was not disappointed. We had a blast. I had hoped to do other races with SBI this year, but free time, and conflicts with other race dates, prevented me from doing so. The TV coverage would have taken it up a notch. We had no idea what was announced or promised in Marathon. Please, please, please.... do not speak for me or my team. You have no idea what our intentions were.

Dave until someone you directly questioned speaks up I can relay what was said at the drivers meeting according to a few a spoke to. Clearly I am not an SBI official, the story as I understand it in my words is.

It is a work in progress. Many are working hard to make good on promises made. They are continuing to collect footage and editing what they have in effort to present a show for airing. Nothing is likely to happen before Key West. At that time they hope to make an announcement.

In the mean time I can only add it is unfortunate it has played out as it has. I do not have the details as of why. Many may be able to speculate or add their 2 cents. Some can add in their "It told you so." It really doesn't matter at this point. All we can really do is wait and hope the best for those involved.

Rick, good question ,,but to early to ask ,,since TV is still there just the brodcasting dates are moved ..............

Also, i would say NO. ?!

I hope your right. Im somewhat skeptical.

I would think the sponsor would expect their money back from the team, being they did not get what they paid for. It might be stipulated in a sposorship agreement. They'de obviously have to sue for it. I doubt the team will return it willingly. Some where along the line, SBI would get sued as well.

Sponsorship doesn't come cheap. It is a huge committment for the Team in time and work. It would be a shame if becuase of something out of your control you lose the sponsor and end up writing a big check. Wasn't there something about all sponsors needing to be "approved" by SBI? That would certianly be a legal trail back to the Org. Hopefully it all works out.

We all ARE !?

But as for now its not OFF ,,like some say or think.

And about the suing part,,i would think SBI would sue the company that did not hold up to they'r agreement aswell ??!!

LETS JUAT HOPE FOR A GOOD OUTCOME,,FOR ALL INVOLVED AND US RACERS!!!!!!!!!!!:USA:
