racers are just turds in a toilet and the associations just keep flushing it.
Why do I have an inkling that will end up as a sig line somewhere?????:sifone:

Pat D,
I expect many are working hard to make it happen. While preparing my 2009 most races list I recorded numerous teams that fully supported your schedule. I hope every ones efforts will be realized and good show will air.
Please keep us posted.
just so everyone here is on the same page:
the tv deal that sbi committed too is NOT going to happen.
but sbi and the few loyalists' have come back to say that the KW race will positively air on tv just not sure when or where ??? but make sure that you show up with $$$$ since you'll need to register all over agian being that is the first race of 2010.
did carbonell use to sell swamp land ???
Coach, You sure jumped ship in a hurry. Is it just a coincidence there is a mess left behind every where you go?
I wonder why u know more then the people talking to CBS ???
U are a real smart guy ,,,trying to bash SBI and everything that has to do with it becasue u purchased a boat that is sitting in your yard and your to broke to race it .....mmmhhhhh
So just so we are on the same page ,,,YOUR WRONG ABOUT THE CBS DEAL, MORE THEN LIKLEY IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN !!!!!!!!:USA:
I think you are a angry little F... that is cheallos of people trying to get ahead in live ?!
yep, sure it is. next your going to tell us that your going to finish a race.
i don't need to bash sbi, their track record speaks for itself. first sbi said it was a go, then it's delayed ($$$$ issues), now if everyone shows up in KW that will be televised, just not sure when or where ?? then maybe the rest of the races ?
come scotty, your really not the dumb to fall for this line of BS agian, are you ? did you really sign a deal and give $$$ to some stranger thinking he was going to get you sponsorship ?
you answered that email from the guy in kenya, didn't ya. i knew it.
it's delayed ($$$$ issues)
Nobody said it wasn't on the "up and up".....it was and is....you don't have to apologize to anyone for anything.
S - - - happened and it is being re-worked.
Mika......
Interesting, and this is an example of what has gone on for months, and if we all start posting our collection of emails re: the Clearwater Race Advisor, we should sign up Orville Redenbacher as a sponsor.
I won't post mine but I will tell you that when he got upset with me for not being a messenger and agreeing to tell JC how much he could do for SBI, he called me rude and "Patty"..............guess how that worked out.
On the side note.......all I can tell you is, TV is still in the picture and there is still a production in the works.......come to KW and find out more.
this is what he posted before the race, plus see the signature.......
They are excited!

Thanks Frank,
It's so rewarding to see my brain child taking its first steps! The gratitude in my heart for Frank Chivas and Brian Aungst, Sr., taking the ball and running with it, and to see it all coming together...
From the initial conversations with Ebe Bower the former VP of Tourism at the Clearwater Regional Chamber of Commerce and Sheila Cole the Executive Director of the Clearwater Beach Chamber, in Sept. last year. To the willingness on Kevin Dunbar's part, the Parks Director for the City of Clearwater, to let me run with the 'maybe' I got from him, instead of the previous ‘NO’s!
Once we had beaten out the competition from several other cities, by sticking my neck out, to sign the letter of intent, for the national championships! Not knowing how or if we could get it all done and paid for! It's a huge undertaking of faith, for everyone involved.
The added benefit of Danny Gadarian's ambitions, to produce a television show focused on the Super Boat International race series. This was going on unknown to all of us in Clearwater! Now CBS Sports is filming and will broadcast the event Saturday, November 28th, at 2 PM Eastern!
It has a life of its own now...
Thank you everyone for making this come true,
Ray Pusillo
the 'Instigator'
Coach
mmmhhhh!!!!!!!!!????
. Rich said that last season because of the anouncment that OSS did with the Clearwater race ,,had nothing to do with CBS and SBI.
BINGO!!!!!!!

I really apologize for dragging this back to day 1 but why are we turning the Clearwater event into a bunch of angst because of the TV stuff?
From what I read the actual raceday was well attended, had great support from the public, was well organized and in the end was one that could be put in the " success " column.
Admittedly there is some discussion who should be credited for all that, the instigator, the community deep pocket facilitator or SBI or all of the above BUT why overshadow all of that success with this BS TV topic ?
This sport hopefully is not hanging its whole existence on whether CBS shows up to film it. What can the best TV coverage of this stuff amount to? 3 or 4 one hour shows at best?
Racers want to race and the followers of this sport are already fast boat enthusiasts. TV isnt going to convert any couch potatoes to the sport we love.
For those that want a film of themselves racing need only to support the guys that already make their income by following all this and hang upside down out of a helicopter race after race.
CBSs deal is short lived at best and shouldnt ruin the successes or overshadow the successes any of the race organizations accomplish without them.
A shame that this crap divides us all.
KW will be KW as always . CBS or not.
To whoever made Clearwater a great day, congratulations.
Kudos to Mickeyfin for his efforts to be all the way over here to participate and add to the excitement.
The gum flapping about what will amount to phuck all in the big picture is time wasted.
Go boating.
