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.

ok my bad ,,sorry ,,so what classes are invited to Madison ? or what classes "CAN" run in Madison... it seems like your putting the" sweet feed " in the stall , after you ran off the horses,, $ 40,000 ?

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

TYPHOON

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 !!!!!!

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.

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.

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.

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 !!!!

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.

I race offshore boats.
Why would I race in a tiny lake when Sarasota has a race?
I have raced everywhere so it is not about travel, it is about event quality.
Call it what you want but it is not offshore racing.

To me racing a offshore boat in a tiny lake like that to get a check is like being a prostitute. Your doing what you like but not where you like so you get paid top to do it. Close your eyes and shower repeatedly before cashing the check. It will all be better in the future!

In the end the business make no sense at all so please do not tell me you are "building something". You guys are simply taking Asif's money until it dries up.

Mark, No I do not like cheating and dont know who does. Dare Devil, Martin gave the committed race teams free lodging from Thur-Mon. Steve, not sure why you think stadium style racing wont work? Smaller boats with more turns and heat racing sounds like fun exciting racing to me. I have been to my fair share of ocean races that are flat as a lilly pond. And honestly Im tiered of racing for 50 miles and no one changing position. I have dreamed of the day that offshore racing would be at ocean events only and there would be thousands of fans watching and the sponsors would pay enough to have professional teams. Like Frank said and I agree go race where ever you want and have fun at this point. Lets respect each others desions and stop saying why it wont work.
