That would fall under the National Champion Title!!!!! But to qualify for the Worlds you have to run atleast 2 or 3 races throughout the year and yes that does give you the righjt to pick and choose....When I come back, if I comeback, that is the only title I am gunning for other than that I amgoing to go after the endurance records because that is trult an offshore event!!!!

I think that alot of changes will begin happening throughout the year and into next year....So I think that maybe we should ride the storm out for a year and at that popint see where it stands.....If you don't like it at that time then it probably needs to die and be rebuilt from the ground up with a new theme, look and vision!!!!! Regardless of what anyone thinks IMHO I think it needs to be a for profit org under one banner with a divisional club format under 1 banner that is a dictatorship....I believe it also should be run under the KISS format...Keep It Simple Stupid!!!!!!!!

i think ? if i may? 4 sunday classes 2 cats 2 v,s top dog cat 2 engines unlimited power min lth 38 ft. 2nd cat class 34 / 38 ft power to weight max weight 9500 lbs this will limit the, power v bottoms super v min lnth.38 ft 2 engines limited v,s max lnth 38 ft power to weight max weight 9000 lbs will again limit power. every thing else runs saturdays > no purse no prizes nothing it would be a proving grounds to show case tallent. just like every other real sport ,,,, stock cars,,,,scca,,,, motor cycles you can,t pay every class that stumbles to the starting line,, as you have seen people with money can invent a class , and that is what deluted boat racing. BOTTOM LINE THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE SPORT AND A LOT OF US SHOULDN,T BE HERE ANYWAY. not many of us think of going to nascar ,,,? well this on water, it,s just my opinion if you want to edit it go ahead ,,,,:USA:

I think ,that is what all this is anyways,,," waisting air " nothing is going to change !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also i don't need friends and i like when u give me a bunch of s...,,,i am big enough to handle it .
On the finishing races,,,hey engine problems happen ,,not my thing,,don't know nothing about them.
A matter of fact i may not no anything about anything,,,,but i do know that a bunsh of people hate Smitty and now they kiss his A.. to have a place to race,,,and i do think that is pretty funny right there.
Hey Dave,,,for u my friend,,my boat is always for sale if i get what i want for it .,,,so is everybody elses i would think.
For all of u keep dreaming and i just live and enjoy my life,,as always.:USA:

And hey ,,,i had my problems with smitty and i think they are resolved.
Other then that most of the people are not like me,,,they dont say anything only in a dark room where they can't be identified. toooooo funny.

I have a question - from a fan, not a racer. I may have no place in this discussion, but here I go anyway.
I'm not a NASCAR fan by any means, so my numbers may be off a bit, but I think they're close. NASCAR runs 35 or so race weekends a year. Most of those weekends have 3 races each weekend plus qualifying. They are generally able to pull off the live television events that go along with those races. On major networks too. They have a huge fan and sponsor base. Is it out of the question to think that offshore racing (or any form of boat racing for that matter) has the potential to operate similarly? Is that too many races for a season? If yes why? Is it naive of me to think that everyone could set their differences aside long enough to race each other each week? Can one set of rules be applied so even if there are multiple organizations, racers can still race each other?

If you're racing alone, how much of a race is it? Is it really racing?

36 actually.....and you have 3 different classes all running their own race so thus the confusion is taken out of the equation.....
I think the answer you are looking for is that people get pi$$ed and take their toys to a different sandbox and the great rift starts and continues until we decide to unify and then the vicious cycle begins over again!!!!

What the sport needs is a dictator with deep deep pockets to bring it to a forefront sport!!!!!

I hope the dictator moves it back to open water and returns offshore to a demonstration of endurance.

really not practicle from the business sense, but thats what drew me to offshore and desert racing when I was a kid. Seeing stuff like the baja 1000 and offshore races on tv fascinated me, the aspect of control. sure your racing someone else, but even moreso your racing yourself -walking a very fine line between going fast and tearing stuff up. Baja is still like that, ask anyone who has done it, finishing it is the accomplishment, winning is just icing on the cake. BTWT... I hope the horba stuff takes off, I really want to give that a try when I finish school.
