Cash Bar,
That was only one class that I am sure is only going to grow. All other classes had a good number of participants in them. Better to have many boats in 5 classes then 10 classes agreed??? OSS formula seems to working better then the rest by number of boats in a class. Therefore I am with BJM and Sharkey on the approval ratings after this weekends event.

Don't get me wrong, I do like OSS. I just stated that lets not get ahead of ourselves on the "great # of boats" stat.
If I was racing this season I would definitely be looking to run at least a few OSS races. I still may get a shot this season(boat issues) and I sure like a few of their sites.

What really isn't a great number is 9 classes with 3 boats or less in them..... But that's racin'!!!

I plan to be in Memphis(pickwick) to support them too. I hope for growth in that class, that is MY class.
Hopefully I can add to the count.

Only change I would like to see is to allow other Manufactured Powerplants be used...
Since Mercury is coughing up the sponsorship, I don't see that happening anytime real soon....

While I agree with 5 class's and a average of 6.2 boats a class is OK..lets remeber 2 or 3 years ago.....F1 6 to 8 boats...F2 4 to 6 boats...SV 7 to 8 boat SC 6 TO 8 boats...and with both racing Organizations SBI last year averaged 18 to 23 boats....APBA 18 to 25 boats...and now that they joined 40+boats...with you probably seeing 60+ at some races....and OSS have 30 boats last year in Biloxi in 5 class's and this year 31....even with there 9 new teams the nember of boats that are out racing are pretty much the same....just all moving into different class's or different Organizations.....
Now combined both Organizations...
SC..8
SCL..7
SV...22-23
SVL....10
SS...8
Now combine the prize monies being paid in both Organizations in the above class's..what...$14,000 or 15,000 for 1st Place and there is a good reason to move up into these class's....
thats 55 boats in 5 class's and average if 11 boat per class
then put in your P class boats which they all do selected races and they all don't have the budget to do 8+ races....
When this happens the sport will move ahead in a big way....
I raced against 20+F1's and only 5 or 6 F1's the large number of boats in that class is what brought me into F1 not 5 to 6 of them...but the numbers show OSS will have the same amount of boats as last year and SBI/APBA will have there cambined numbers at there's and with both Organizations schedules on the same dates on 5 or so races you won't see them racing both Organizations...which leads to the same numbers....
Something for people to think about next year

it was great to see some new faces in biloxi. I had a GREAT time! I met a lot of new people and i'm looking forward to pickwick. I hear it's going to be a huge turnout of fans.
congrats to all the racers for a safe and great race. All the boats were flying out there.
