Talking to larry reminds me of listening to Biden ramble on . Sorry ,
C'mon Man!
No one is as bad as Biden.
Spent some time talking to Larry about safety and rules at the APBA meeting in Orlando. He's ambitious! That's good!
problem is he is using the same old playbook.
i know it well.
I,d like to see the younger guys take a stab at runnin their show
I'd like to see some young guys, or girls, replace Pelosi, Biden, Schumer, Feinstein, etc.
Even the ones off the short bus couldn't do as bad as that group.....
agreed .
although i was reffering to replacing the old gaurd with youth and new ideas in the offshore racing world.:cool:
So can we strap AOC to a turn bouy???
Starting to wonder about Cigarette though. First they back out of the Doug Wright deal. Then they back out of the Ley West World's sponsorship. Getting a bit confusing.....
AOC as a turn bouy would be great if youre billy mauf,...(gauranteed to get hit ! )
cigarette has new blood .so new ideas come with it.
when do we get our first 1,000 hp electric powered boat ?
can you imajine the loss in a flipover situation?:rofl:
Fishkill ?
Seems he has a different plan. Races of his own.Quote:

Yep, it happened. I have no feedback yet.
Jeff, "Freezeframe" was there. Here is a link to his website with some of the pictures he took.

I don't know if you've used Jeff's site before. But, if you click on "Next Photo", it goes to the next full page of pictures.
It would have been better for the sport to support a functioning group of events. Oh well, same as it ever was.
you got it jim.
i gues im really out of it now.i heard nothing of this event .
looked a little shy on participants ,but it was something.
im just spoiled i guess..i remmember when 60 boats was a very poor turnout.
one year we had 142 boats in keywest ..dina couldnt find enough spots .
wonder if it will ever catch on again/?
Seems to me the biggest events were APBA. There was one principal org. Then Carbonell split it[ with help form some celebrities} . Then years later it split again{ racers split it, another story in itself}
Next thing you know there are 4 orgs all fighting for the racers.
There was some continuity forming in recent years. Now another new guy comes in to stir the pot. A real shame IMO.
Nope.... offshore boats...shut down by **cough** small crat advisory.....
yes i,ll probably get censored for thi,, but my favorite years were apba llc..
when sckryzpec and gm joined in for a few years.
the racers got serious the sponsors were bigger and more of them.
really good classes ,( too many tho )
I was blessed to run Factory 2 in the big years APBA and SBI, Ran SVL and Super V in OSS best years. Also witnessed APBA in 85-89 in Key West. Big true international events. Way cool!
The good ol Days
