With over 70 boats register with SBI /APBA in Key West this year the sport is growing. Also the growth of OPA this year Offshore is heading in the right direction. We need to stay the course and be positive and good things are coming. The CR and Key West are working very hard as we speak for this coming year with lost of change,and new fresh idea. New date, new dry Pitt's, new promotions, linking to the Homestead race, and possible live TV from the World !!!!
THE SPORT IS WELL AND GETTING STRONGER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Interesting letter
I'm a new guy on the fence. All the bickering is a huge turnoff. To get my feet wet OPA is the obvious choice for many reasons. Simply put, OSS is all closed cockpits, and APBA is "almost" all Florida. Not to mention not wanting to wade into a mine field, it's much cheaper to run OPA and closer to home.
But, even if I wasn't budget drivin, the crazy stuff between the big two would scare me and any potential sponsor away for sure.

Re: Interesting letter
As a fairly new racer, you have to go were you feel most wanted. OPA has givin me that feeling. To get together in Key West, everyone has to put there motives aside, wether its ego's or need for financial gain and do this one for the fans first then the racers, having all the orginizations together at one place wether or not they are actually competing in the races would make for one collosal event, giving a boost for all involved.
safe racing,
