The Great Unification

[DAREDEVIL]

Alright bro you need to leave that $h!t alone.....for whatever reasons the best thing is for all of us as racers to grow into one big happy family!!!!

I agree,,SORRY,, but Sean a family starts being happy and grow with honesty and no BS at all times,,,show me where this family is and i join.
The reason why people hate me,,and i don't mind , is because they can't take the truth .
Your old school so u know exactly what i am talking about.

Sorry, but your right i just sit back and watch the show.

I haven't pressed this one for awhile just to see where all the pieces were going to land or if we are in the same old spot we were earlier this year..... So with all the things that were happening and being put in place where does the "Great Unification" or the state of powerboat racing stand at this point in time??????

If one horse has been shot, beat, kicked, trashed and dead, does that mean there can never be another horse in the arena?

George please don't post that OSS has failed and OPA has saved the day. That's just going to **** people off. This merger is what people have asked for. OSS can go on and on and on if it wanted to. We have no over head if we only race 4 times per year or 10 times. We are working together to better the sport. Its not a buy out or surrender of one over the other. It will work with equal input from both sides. We will meet in the middle with some give and take. OSS has race sites for next year as well as OPA. We will use the best of the best from both org.

Xtreme...some of us want the sport to be more than "races" with too few boats and too many winners.There were two races last weekend less than fifty miles apart.This is totally unacceptable!Each had only 20-25 boats in multiple classes.Dont tell me that the SBI race was great...there were not enough boats period!The OPA race was not that good either for the same reason.ONE RACE WITH 50 OR MORE BOATS WOULD BE ALOT BETTER FOR THE RACE TEAMS,RACE PROMOTERS,SPONSORS AND FANS A major step in the right direction would be unification.Just do it!

You battle until one of them (GM) goes bankrupt......


Too bad a socialist decided to socialize the company, Ford would be flyin high in the Good ol' USA.

[phragle]

so if there was one org, and a spec class like the one that was attempted earlyier this year (one hull, one motor, one drive, all identicle) as mandated by the org and tow money as opposed to purses ..would that be socialized racing ?

Sit back and relax guys here we go again get the popcorn out.

[Sean Stinson]

As always I get the most responses when I post the question here BUT no one gives an answer that is very definitive!!!!!

Jimmy I am riding the horse and I stepped back as asked and we have made no great strides IMHO so........

[phragle]

as far as boat counts..... wasnt one org running about twice the count as anyone else most of the year?

Sean,
The problem is you are asking the wrong people, and until everyone understand nothing will get resolved in an open forum like this the better off we will all be, if anything it make it worst. All the comments r from people that can't do a thing about what is going on, it just makes them feel good to though it out there and complain. ... Smitty will do what he needs to for OPA and run his schedule and SBI will run theirs.If and when they decide it is time for something to happen it will. No one forced anyone put races on top of each other it was done for a reason, we might not know or like the reason but it was done.

Why dont we talk about Mcdonalds and Burger King and tell them that they would get more coustmers if they were one ????? Get everyones option of how they should do it and why, and then run it by the both of them and see what they think about our great ideas.

OPA and SBI is none of ours companies so we dont really have the right to tell them how to run their companies. They seems like they r doing pretty good on their own. Smitty has done a great job with OPA and John has been doing it for 19 yrs so i guess he r doing something right the rest have come and gone. It seems to me we get more complaining from NON-Racers when we do from Racers.

I guess as a group from Serious with all your great ideas of what needs to be done and how, you all should start a new org. and do it the right way and the racers will all come running to you. Put a Million in the bank and take a run at it for a yr, and next yr about this time when the Million is gone let us know how it went.
