Since you're talking McLaren, here's a tribute they did to Bruce. Hard to believe it's been 40+ years since he was lost. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZHMjdzw0w0

As it should be...

I’m a little confused by this. :confused: Are the plans to be able to run the current SVL Spec boats as is in a SVL class next year and a separate P1 Class as well? I thought the plan was to run the boats under the P1 banner using the HP/Weight ratio and not have a Spec engine class. This...

Not saying you're wrong at all, it is doing better than any other class in Offshore (which I think I stated before as well), but I am saying I've NEVER Seen ANY class in racing last, and thrive when run by 100% by the racers. If you have some examples of where it works please let me know. I'm...

While I agree that the current group of owners should be rewarded for their efforts I still do not think having racers vote on everything is the proper way to go. I have never seen it work in ANY form of motorsports from Trans-Am to Swamp Buggies, from Drag Racing to Sailing and so on. A...

Having been involved with many forms of motorsports for decades around the world I’ll have to respectfully disagree with you on this. The inmates should NEVER be allowed to run the asylum :D There should be a tech board with input from sponsors, vendors, manufactures, racers, etc. but not...

I’ve got a couple of questions: Does this plan include opening the propulsion package up to the HP/Weight ratio like P1 has in Europe? If so how will the power be tested? Once the power to weight ratio is set, will boats be re-accessed during the year if they are able to run more MPH than other...

OK... I think I have the fix... Have SVL & OSVL (Outlaw) :D That's real popular to do with the Drag race cars here in the South... You have Legal cars, and legal races, and Outlaw cars and outlaw races...

Ahhh but you can't fix stupid :bump:

Mike, Agreed as with any business the first rule is you have to make more money than you spend, but the clientele you had were for the most part a bunch of spoiled rich kids that were more interested in looking good than actually competing, and racing. More importantly they weren’t used to not...

Dave, No offense taken, but honestly I'm not sure if many realize this... Most weren't around to see what’s happened in the past, and those that were don’t seem to remember what actually happened. Goes back to the classic saying “Those that don’t know their history are doomed to repeat it!”

Offshore boat racing is different than other forms of motorsports when it comes to “Breaking in”… In most other forms of motorsports you can buy an older racer (Car, Bike, Truck, etc.) update some tubing to meet current rules considerations, and start off. As you add more to your program you...

So I just have to beat a strain gauge... Hmmm sounds like fun :)

George, I wish you the best of luck with it. One suggestion I would make, is to have a game plan outlined now to level the field in the future if need be. Sort of like insurance, we all hope that it’s not needed, but knowing what will happen in case of an emergency makes it a little better...

History repeats itself: Does anyone remember when this happened to A-Class? You had tons of boats running A, then the canopy boats came in because it was “Safer”… Yes it was, but it relegated the entire fleet to pleasure boats or to be sitting in someone’s yard for decades. A-Class was then...
