Randy ,i got a letter from OSS saying they were NOT going because no other classes were invited,,,so will you 3 or 4 devide the 40,000
George the letter you got was about Detroit. The packet Randy is talking about is for Madison, Indiana which is a P1 race NOT OSS.
Just got back from a OPA race and saw some deleted post. Not sure what was said. George the race is a P1 race with the teams that race his style boats in the P1 rule book. Yes there is aprox $40,000 in purse money to be paid out at the event. Not sure what you mean about horse feed and running off the horses. Its the same deal he told us all over a year ago. Martin now has it together and can start his P1-USA series. Be a part of it or dont. No one is run off and the race will happen like he said it will. If you want to race call him. If not please dont bash his program, just dont respond. The sport is looking for positive people.
its not 40,000
its 20,000 for SVS and Evolution class
and 20,000 for the Superstocks
and .....the way i read it, thats not engraved in stone. The word "potential" leads me to that assumption
Agreed. And after talking with Martin the $40,000 purse is just for the first race. With more comitted race teams the purse will rise even higher. So what comes first? The purse or the racers?
Correct me if Im wrong. has any Org offered so much with such little commitment? What will it take to make believers out of some of you? Has Martin EVER not delivered on what he has said he will do? Has any manufacture lately built a new race hull with a plan? Does any Org have a plan on a true world wide/ USA regional scale to put on a true world event?
The money is there, the sites are there,the rules are there,the TV is there, the sponsores are there,the potential of making history is there. The question is do you want to be there as a racer? We have the golden oppertunity to make it right.
There is nothing wrong with club racing. I have been doing it for years, I WANT MORE FOR ALL OF US !!!!!!
MD
When you say Martin....You mean Marting Sanborn....Right?
So you have the torque sensors now, Or just round 3 of fake racing usa.
Blah blah blah!!!!! Same stuff different day !!!!
CCRACING, I dont know you but you seem to have the pulse on SVL racing. Whats your idea of fair SVL racing?
Spec motors?
Spec ECM's?
Payed at the race site?
TV?
Where and what is your ideal place to race? What are the pro's of where you think the class should race. Im not trying to be funny, just want to here your version of good racing.
I race OPA,SBI,OSS and P1 so I have a little bit of knolage as to what each brings to the plate. Listening to people that have never raced in other org's and bash them is something I find interesting. There is so much bad info out there that some get swayed into believing everything they here. I hope you are more open minded than that.
MD
Mark, Im sorry you feel that way. There is still OSS with sealed motors and ECM's
Is the Detroit race still a go, I heard there was an issue with the sponsor? That is a great race it would suck if that was true.
Latest info I got was it is full steam ahead. Something like 100 years of history there racing on that weekend. If there are any issues I am sure we would have heard.
Cool thanks
So is Madison an exhibition, or a real race? I got money riding on the pass for the win in the tech lane.
I believe about twenty teams just dragged their boats and equipment across the country to Florida for $0. Actually negative $0 taking into account the expenses. Why? Loyalty to their ORG and they did it to RACE!
There are several SVL's out there and most owners are all over these threads.
So I ask, who's racing this year and where. Who is not racing this year and why not?
Randy, the answer to your question regarding manufactures building boats with a plan. Every other day I'm on the phone with another builder discussing progress with our projects. Among other things unfortunately , we're discussing P-4 and not SVL. I'm not 100% sure of his reasons but I have a house full of kids. I leave the house to go racing to get away from the squabbling.
I find it hard to believe that 10-12 grown men with spec class raceboats cannot stop beating on thier chests long enough to discuss and agree on how, when and where they will all race together.

But hey ..i love theyr effort ! U know if they do make SRQ..u gonna loose , RIGHT !!!! :D

George, i still will never figure out why u take little things like this so damn serious..You and miklos are the 2 best teams out there and Wil...but i do think Mark Niemann is an awsome driver and they should have a HUGE chance... !
I'm just happy for everybody and for the same reason u come back, i do to !

ALL THE TEAMS AND BOATS COMMING TO SARASOTA ARE THE PREMIER SVL.S OF TODAY ,,, FOR SURE,,,,, it,s all good have fun ,,
Well atleast when we get our ass kick it will be by the beast lol !
Does Sarasota have an aprox $20K purse to be paid to the racers in SVL. Does Sarasorta have free rooms from Thur.-Mon for each team? Will there be TV? The answerer is NO to all the above. If you live in FL. its the best event in town hands down. Just compairing what you get with both org's.
Wild Card FL
Imco FL
Micklos FL
Kool Hand FL
Racer Guy FL
I get it guys. I dont live in FL so others that dont live there chose to follow the money and trying to grow the sport. We cant spend thousands to race with no return. Spending over $5k per event is out of my reach. I need a return.
The best would be a north/south division and race in KW in November but we try that every year and no one shows due to the cost. I GET IT !!!!
So Randy are saying cheating is ok as long as every one gets a check?
I meant racing with a cheater, is ok as long as everyone gets an Obama style check.
Good luck in Madison should be a great race... we have all chased the rainbow i'm done with that i'm back to basics RACING. APBA (4yrs) SBI (9 yrs) and OPA ( ?) have had TV and by no means is it the awnser and we both know that. Not really sure what you think is any different then when Geico, OSS, APBA, SBI and numberous other had all the awnsers and were going to change the sport NOT. I remember this same conversation not to long ago when we all talked about OSS.I think its all in the past and there is no magic its just racing.
P1 failed in Europe so dont really know what is so different, and i'm not being negative just honest I really truly dont know what is any different this time around. When you talked about OSS it was all about the money and look at it now so I guess its not about the money or all those teams would still be there. I for one dont have the awnser not even close but doing more of the same time after time isnt going to work.
I wish everyone from the bottom of my heard safe racing where ever u race it doesnt really matter we r all just racers and I'm sure one time or another we will all cross paths.
