You know both of you should watch the remake of "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Peirce Brosnan....If he can flip a sailboat I am sure I can flip a sailboat...I didn't say I was going to get a slow, slow sailboat I was going to get a fast, slow sailboat...:sifone::sifone::sifone:

Mark, Sure was fun racing this past weekend.
Life sure is better when you get to race.:biggrinjester:[/QUOTE]
Yes it was!!!!!! Its one to one on my count. I though that was the point of race boats was to race other boats.
Wild Ride might make the trip to Sunny Isles. Maybe Bruce?

Yes it is and it happens on 525 reguarly. There is no way to tech them on 525 unless you have the proper tools. OSS does not have the proper tools. Check sum is not a valid option and it is easily beat.

Funny the OSS model is just a ripoff of the LLC. This post is exactly why no one will put their time and money up to build a circuit for most Offshore racers.

Hey Steve
Whats up bro??? I was going to give it a shot but the only thing I can't get everyone to agree on is to disagree on everything!!!! So I am going to politely roll up my quest and watch it all from the sidelines!!!! Hope to see you sometime bro!!!!

Anyone can cheat in any form of racing. It requires having enough integrity not to. Not the idea that if You don't get caught that it ok. So if you want to race the best in SVL it is a with OSS and it is done legally. Is that why you don't race with us?

Guys...
I hate to say this, but for once, JUST ONCE, Im going to agree with Gino. If Merc is out of the picture, and we can come up with a fair and fool proof way of teching the other motors, I think we should consider them. If this is the only way to get all the Vee Lites on the course at the same time....BRING IT. 12 - 15 Vee Lites on the course will put on an helluva show. And quite possibly, steal the show. With the possibility of TV coverage, now is the time to look outside the box and into the future. Everything we've done so far, has not worked. It's time to try something else.
I talked to Randy about possibly doing some SBI races as well. He is really on a tight wire right now, And also has ill feelings. If he agreed to run with me in my boat and Steve and Bob M and Pirate came out to play, I would consider racing SBI as well. I can only do a linited schedule this year. But if this is what it takes to bring everyone together, Im all for it.
I know JC has said "the past is the past", lets move forward. Everyone can race as long as they play by the rules.

If you read the rules for OSS It states that other engine packages can be submitted for approval if they make 100 units or more and there is no competitive advantage.

Ilmor has over 100 units. That is a hurdle M<ercury Racing had added to the ripped off LLC rules (mike and I wrote) They thought would never get eclipsed. So let Ilmor in. I will buy one. Didnt the whole side of your boat say "Mercury Racing"

Not suprised just reading what the rules say. If the Ilmor has an equal or can make an equal than Ok.
It did, but it was on the boat when we bought it.

Well I know enough about this subject.
It was my task with the LLC to evaluate how secure our rules and tech procedures were for every engine platform. When the engines were carb it was easier. The injected engines are much easier to hide performance advantages.
Without touching the ECM you can make more power on a 525 several ways.
If you get in the ECM which has happened you have even greater advantages. If you combine that with a fuel program you can easily have a significant advantage.
