Exactly.........
By the way, my motto is:

How do you think Pelosi, Obama, and Barney Frank got elected?

Wondered what that envelope was sitting there
Said Verison i thought it said Viagra and i knew i didnt need that
Just curious, many say the offshore of old is the ticket, if thats the case why then last year at the Miami-Bimini run was their ONE vintage boat???? Drag boats, Tunnels, and Hydros, keep the spectator occupied, you dont want to miss the show. To me the bottom line is racing is entertainment! If you dont entertain the fans, they wont be there long. potential sponsors wont either, many say lok at what P-1 does,they are spending a lot of someone's cash on marketing. Class 1 same thing lots of someones money. Class 3 or X class, now there is some racing going on there.

If you are relying on your event spectators to make you a great sport the wait will be endless. TV is, in fact, the key to the castle.
All you need is that color guy who can do live to tape, unscripted monologues for 90 minutes non stop while riding in a helicopter with the door off at 120 mph.
Whatever happened to him.......?

Those tapes were the best rich !:sifone:

T2x,
I certainly hope you will share your insite and musings throughout the race and Poker run season. Your commentary is much like talk Radio personalities I listen to, while I dont always agree with them, I respect thier views and opinions. I attended 16 events last year, from the outboard worlds, to class 1 to F-1, all had entertainment value, some better than others.
Biloxi has always had a great fan turn out. It is my opinion that racer's that sit on the fence to see what will happen at this site are missing the bus.

You know, when I was a paid commentator and an APBA official, there were certain "limits and suggestions" that were placed on my ramblings, and I chafed under them (as my colleagues can certainly remember---especially the producers). The web has allowed my alter ego-T2x- to emerge and challenge some pompous notions and stick pins in the balloons of false idols. While I may not always agree with T2x either(Can you spell schizophrenia?), the character has been very useful in stimulating thought and shedding light on issues that are clouded by good ol' boy networks, sacred cows, and big spenders. He has also said the things that many are thinking privately but are too intimidated to speak openly about.
Thanks for your kind thoughts.

Square one is to have a face to face meeting and have meaningful conversation about running some joint events and a joint World Championship. OPA and SBI refuse to have such a meeting with OSS. I've tried several times with OPA and have now given up. SBI is just a dead issue until JC retires.
As I've said before. If they racers want unification, they can force it to happen at any time.
If someone wants to host a meeting, just say when and where and I'll be there. Until that can happen, the rest is all BS.
The problem with Offshore is the people running the organizations. I am trying not to be one of the problems. I prefer to look for solutions.

Well said Ron
The longest journeys all start with the first step.......
However, the problem with Offshore is the people who tolerate the people running the organizations, and lobbied for more than one group in the first place. Your group (OSS) was started by a bunch of guys to protest APBA and part of the same group then went and started another group to protest OSS ( you can't make this stuff up). All of this was before your term as president and you had nothing to do with it.
The slogan "United we race" should be replaced with "Shut up and race".

You have always been a class act...With that being said maybe if more would extend olive branches we could get back to the old style racing!!!!
