Proposal for classes

[DAREDEVIL]

Regarding this feature every team can do their own channel... as they do it on the racetracks. If you want to spend the extra money....
Data acquisition is "fun" to look later on and might show some errors but in boating IMO almost totally worthless.

Specialy if u don't race ...like Trent ,,because of others !!!???mmmhhhh:ack2:

Thank you. We sit here and biotch about not enough racers. Then, when we have ex racers, or potential new racers, with opinions of what it would take to come participate, we biotch anyway.

I still stick with. Current racers should listen to all part timers and ex-racers to see what others feel the shortfalls are. Then, the current racers should make decisions with the orgs to see what might improve things.

 

[MikeyFIN]

I´ll try to do my best to participate.
The future will show.

Scotty was tongue in cheek there.. but as always when it´s not live it gets often misinterpreted.
That´s the problem WE "Characters" don´t always get...

I agree to an extent, after being apart of scoring earlier in the year, I spoke to them about making it easier. With the type of systems Pat and Sean are talking about it would be a great benefit to each organizations scoring dept as well as if and when tv happens it would add a lot to the coverage. Plus the benefit it adds to the team as when I am preparing for a race I still study the on-board footage over my career to make sure I dont make the same mistake twice. The information might be useless to some, but I would rather have too much to go thru than no information at all. Back in my Nascar days, we would have to study the top view footage of a pit stop 2 hours a day, all of that just to make a 14 second pit stop. But then again I was making 34 a year plus all expenses just to change the rear tires on a car quickly, my crew chief in Offshore makes nothing. Actually most of the time he provides the beverages in our pit stall:biggrinjester:

See, i really would not care because i know better,,,only the people that are not self convident get upset about stuff.

He plames me for not racing and could not tell me why ,yet ???

So ,,,he needs to get his act together,,not just talk all the time and cry like a baby.

Lets say ,,,we would get a race with all his rules and he would not win,,,he would try to change it again !!!

All this talk is intresting and real good ideas,,but it will not happen soon.

Kw is 3 weeks away ,so thats what we should be focused on.

JUST GO RACING AND HAVE FUN !!!!!!:USA:

I disagree. I think all this discussion is good, so when everyone is in Key West and talking over drinks, the high points can be discussed face to face.

ANd you didn't answer the question????

 

[DAREDEVIL]

I disagree. I think all this discussion is good, so when everyone is in Key West and talking over drinks, the high points can be discussed face to face.

But we as racers are morelikley to not do these changes anyways.

Thats why the chief inspector of SBI ,,,only for SBI rules,,should be present and that was what the other thread was about ,,to really get things changed so even he can race with out bichn.

We can discuss this all day long ,weeks even month,,,but nothing is going to happen even with great ideas unless we have money or the org. agree's !

Other then that ,,,nice chat.:sifone:

 

[DAREDEVIL]

Again,,everybody is talking about unifying,,racing each other ,,,make it big for the fans ,,,,,,,,,and on the other hand 30% try to find excuses for not showing up to a race ????

Don't get it.

JUST GO RACE !!!!!!! and the things will eventually fall in place.

Talk does not make a diffrents only action !!!!:USA:

You may call it an excuse, but if I were he I'd feel the same way. In OPA he'd be racing. In SBI, he can't be competitive with what happened to his class change. Doesn't that seem like an issue to you? SBI has the lowest P class counts of any org. That's why I thought your thread about SBI discussion in Key West was a great idea.

And here we are again on the boat count issue. TOO funny.

He raced SBI,, he is faster then my boat ,,he braggs about HOW FAST IT IS and then wonders if they won't let him run in P5 ????

Also if we get the rules changed like most of the Racers whant,,,,80-90-110 MPH we have more boats in each class,,,better and more fair racing and a place for even him ( 80 MPH ) against the P5 boats. 26,28,30 foot single engines !!

Is it expensive to race ,,,hell yes,,nobody ever said its a cheap sport.
Randy Typhoon posted on the other thread what it cost him to race,,,i did not spend that much in SBI last year or this year. !!!!!!

Everybody plames it on either fees or travel cost,,,,i plame it on me !!!

Whats wrong with that picture ?????

IN OPA HE'D BE RACING,,,,,,,mmmmmhhhhhh,,, well WHY ISN'T HE ???? Nobody sais he needs to race in SBI ,,,,its his choice !!!!

Travel. The same reason if I raced a full season, I'd have only hit two SBI races max. You're currently spoiled because you're not working, just like me. So, we have time to travel. But, when I'm working, I cannot miss three weekdays for a weekend of racing 7 or 8 times a season.

Trent is working ??????? ok 2-3 days a week !!! thats what he told me !!!!

So that can't be it !!!!!!!

I work too,,,just not as an employe. :sifone:

 

[DAREDEVIL]

But again,,this is not about Trent ,me or any other racer in Person.

All i say is bring the boats out of the barn and go have fun and then discuss the rules or any thing else.

CHANGES ARE NOT DONE WITHOUT ACTION !!!!!!:USA:

I don't get all this talk and ball busting.

Focus on finishing the race and do it. Then and only then maybe do some ball busting.

Its a race first then a party second. If the partying is more important leave the boat home.
