Maybe we could take Sarasota as an example and use Kevin Brown's(with his permission of course) template for putting on a show. They have things going on around town all week leading up to the race. They have parades, bikini contests, car shows, fishing tournaments, and the list goes on and on. Thats why that race is our Daytona 500. All of us have either raced there or have heard how big it is.
This template could be given to each town's promoter and that could set the tone. Maybe we could elect a racer liason to keep in contact with the local towns promoter's and ensure that the template is being put into effect.
Mike A., I really like your idea and that could be a goal for the future, but aside from Haggin, I dont see anyone with the means or resources or willing to with the state of offshore as it is, to put something like that together right here and now. We have to take the small things that are broke now and fix them so that the future is bright. Also maybe in the beginning the association would start off with not necessarily a SV or SC but maybe something like a SVL then build into the SV or SC. That way costs are down, also maybe when it does advance then you could do something similiar to(god I am going to get killed for saying this) Busch series and Nextel.

There you go!! Racer liason, that is what I was refering to earlier. But it doesn't have to be just one person. It could be a local team from that community that knows the people and the area and what is needed.

My nominies would be Ken Doyle, Pops, Kevin Brown. They know the promotion end of it first hand.
Another possible solution is maybe invite each race promoter to Sarasota in order for them to experience behind the scenes as well as the enthusiasm that the community has. Assign the liason to accompany them thru out to answer any questions.

Guys, thanks for the kind comments. As many of you know we have been in the business for over 25 years and we have seen the ups and downs of powerboat racing. Don't hesitate to give me a call I'll assist in any way that I can.
As for our Chattanooga event, we have a great program here. It's all about the racers, fans and our charity which is the Make-A-Wish Foundation. You come to Chattanooga you better be ready for 3 full days of activities. Show casing your equipment, your team and your racing skills against the clock and your fellow competitors.
Drop me a line anytime.

Ultimate Marketing idea for Offshore Racing:
One class: "ALLEY" CAT - Skater makes the bottom, Scism makes the top - no ones feeling are hurt. Brand name is "Randy's Peter" in honor of the Founders of both companies. Each boat will be autographed by Reggie Fountain.
Engines: Mercury 1075 port, Sterling 1100 Starboard (add slight amount of weight to Starboard side to make up difference). Engine Brand name is "Mercurling"
Drives: Triple Drive "system" Mercury #6 Dry Sump port, Arneson Starboard, Weismann in the tunnel. Drive Brand Name is Mercnesonman"
Propellers: Max Pitch 26. The goal is 12,000 RPM so we can sound like Formula One. Any bat that casn't turn a minimum of 11,000 RPM is disqualified.
Every boat is required to have a Rubber Tube aroudn the outside to prevent against any potential stuff.
Markting Director - Howard K. Stern - of Anna Nicole Smith fame.
Head T.V Spokesman - Kato Kalin (of O.J. Simpson fame)
Chief Referree - Augie Pensa
Director of Competition - Steve Miklos (aka Mr. Ugly Hat)
Director of funny accents - Nigel Hook (Nigel, remember Jim Bull will protect me from you)
Each Team, when they Register gets a free instructional manual entitled "How to cheat Brillantly" - author - Bob Bull (Bob - remember, Jim will protect me from you too).
Each team, when they Register, must sign a 100 year contract that they will never talk to, look at or think about any other sanctioning body.
Each team is required to take peace and tranquility classes before competing - Instructor - Michael Allweiss
Inner Peace Director - Billy Mauff
Back up inner peace director - Mike Tomlinson
Back up to the Back up Inner Peace Director - Jerry Sorrentino
THIS STRUCTURE WOULD PULL IT ALL TOGETHER, RIGHT.
Delivered in fun - obviously
