Smokin' the Sound 2011

Frank, your right on the money !!!! 100%

the schedule is tight enough and for some to make it even tighter is just not good for the sites ot the racers !

the other thing is that most knew way to late abpout the 50% off in biloxi and made other plans before.

Is there racing today ??

Is there racing today ??

Not, I guess....


None of the P! USA boats are here. Glimpsed MArtin last night at dinner, but have not chatted with him yet. I guess the boats are currently in Europe instead of here.

There are a few out running practice right now.

[Ratickle]

I'll have to find out what happened. Looks as if they just raced SVL.

[XtremeRacing]

thanks for the update , keep them coming.

[XtremeRacing]

I thought so thats why I asked I heard they were racing today ??

Another thing u have to look at is scheduleing, and putting races on top of each other. With Cocoa next weekend this might not of been the best date. I think teams that would of loved to do both races just cant afford to race 2 weekends back to back there are some that will and i give those guys a lot of credit. The time from work and money is going to play a big factor this yr with the econo. the way it is. Another one is going to be in July P1 schedule shows Madison IN on July 3rd . and that conflicts with Sarasota. I dont think Madison is going to be pleased with the Offshore part of the event and thats not fair to them. Again you put teams in the position of picking race site ....

well P-1 doesnt even have any boats in the states according to another post,
so likea hard way to get momentum for something and not even have boats to represent.

The schedules have always been a pain, Like I said Woody Baily and crew put on a great venue for the races and fans, and I'm sorry that this is the way it turned out. sure hope Cocoa Beach has a better showing. One thing can be said about Biloxi at least every class has competition.

Pete,
I'm sure they will make the best of it and have a good time. There are some great race teams there and I'm sure they will put on the best show they can.

IMHO Woody Bailey and Crew, as well as the fans that go to Biloxi DID NOT deserve this,
one's selfishness and child like behavior, will probably result in this site going away.

When towns no longer want to put up any money to host an event , everyone can just look in the mirror, instead of blaming someone else.

Who's the ones selfishness?? and childlike behavior?

I have personnally never been able to race in biloxi. However I would hope that these towns that are thinking of planning for races would probably do some research and know what is or isn't going to be coming from past results.
You often hear " Past results not indicative of future....." but it does kind of hold true.

[Pete B]

It is a pretty long list!

But look at the bright side, with 9 boats that's $4166 per boat in purse and plenty on checkerd flags. Should be a good day for the teams there.
