    Offshore racing? Offshore or beachside?

    I agree 100%. This is a motorsport NOT a show. If it was a show then the racers should be getting paid to race. Racers put there life on the line everytime they get into the cockpit. Fans do not dictate if a race or will not go on. We need to build a foundation first starting with the racers and...

    The Great Unification

    I would rather race a 525 super v w/bravos against a super v w/6's then to race by myself. Even supercats 750/850 should be racing against each other don't worry about what motors just race. In a offshore race you will see how evenly matched they would be. Offshore racing was never won on the...

    Boats.com story on "Whatever Happened to Offshore Powerboat Racing?"

    There is nothing like watching a NNRT tape with real offshore racing cats vs vees. watching these tapes made you feel like you were in the race. It wasn't always about who won but finishing to earn points for the national championship. Teams took pride in the sport.

    You have to build a foundation first. The race teams are the customers not the fans (what fans if you want to compare to the big motorsports). Your not going to get big sponorship, only a select few that did or do. Those teams are big money teams that get the major sponors. Those big companys...

    Let's try a different approach

    Its called offshore racing. A real ocean race and a lot of people would be suprised how old and new boats are competive in the same class. Not about who gets to the turn first.

    The Future of Offshore Racing

    I agree 100%. A lot of race boats old and new would competitive in actual offshore racing. We need to stop worrying about getting fans when we don't have enough race boats on the course. In a real ocean race nobody goes 130 everybody goes 80. Get the sport back on track and everything else will...
