Race World Offshore Leader Eyes The Future

The offshore powerboat racing plot thickens, https://speedonthewater.com/in-the-n...yes-the-future.

It may be the oddest set of circumstances ever in Offshore. And that's saying a lot!!!!

Four organizations? Who's romancing who? Alliances and secret pacts?

And all after this year was such a mess.....

Wow.

And of course, the changes in rules almost every year.

What will be the changes this year versus next year?

I wonder how long it will take for this mess to shake out?

Who would have thought that SBI would have a regular season that consisted of two races, then the Nationals, and then the Worlds.

A two race season!!! :eek:

I also think Larry blew it with what they did to Lucy in Sarasota. A lot of people lost respect over that one.

So Mentor AND Clearwater are both off the table?

The rumors are Mentor is off the table, Mark Small was the main one behind it and he's a bit upset.

My understanding is Clearwater is off the table for both SBI and Raceworld. Rumors are the combination of P1 and OPA have locked it up under the APBA banner. That would be big because they already seem to have Sarasota locked up with Lucy.

All rumors of course.....

I'm still trying to figure this entire thing out in my mind.

It would seem that 4 orgs is too many. So, are 3 left? 2 left? all 4 left? 1 left?

Any guesses???

Maybe an over-under pool?

It would seem that the key to the future goes through Key West.

I think it would be interesting to lay out the strengths and weaknesses of each organization and see what the outcome should be.

I may make some calls, get some facts and opinions, and do that.
