Sounds more like another boxing match to me,

 

[Ratickle]

People pay big money to watch boxing matches on cable tv....

lol

So, along those lines, who is going to Tap-Out first?

OPA, P1, SBI, RWO, Racers, Event Locations, or Fans??????

 

[john acosta]

fans left long ago .

just look at the threads on the boat sites,
no one cares anymore.
promises since the llc apba have not been kept not one.

ever since OSS ripped off allweis and miklos its gone downhill.

hashing it again wont help.
too bad the younger guys at the time followed oss being promised positions of authority that never bloomed .

anyway the hardcore fans are gone .
gotta start over , but where ?
I honestly thought opa and rwo would combine .
I really did

OPA/P1 got back stabbed by RWO. It doesn't surprise me Smitty would carry a bit of a grudge.

And now the RWO rules are not APBA approved, so some of the class rules are totally different.

I know its frustrating at best.
Guys like me and you are a dieing breed.
