By the way ..St Cloud does have one of the most fan friendly wet pits that I have seen..

More boats will show up today & tonite, so I wouldnt be too disapointed just yet. It may not be the turn out like previous years, but please remember that all this is still the fallout from the previous LLC. Dont blame the racers. We all are entitled to race were we feel the most comfortable and have the most fun for our nickles. Just as the fans can choose were they want to attend.
I was a fan long before I really got involved, so I know just how you feel. Give it some time...things will find there level.

Here was just part of last years parade...(see photo)

Dan...I just was really surprised....I NEVER blame drivers, crews and or families for any short commings that may pop up in the sport. I truely respect the risks they all take for all of the sport.

Parade or no parade I'll still be there in the wet pits and out on the point for the races....tomorrow....

My main concern was hearing the many complaints from other fans (I was wearing my Offshore Only.com shirt that has a larger iron on logo on the back) so I guess I looked like an official)...
