It's hard to be non-biased in who I would prefer.

But, I'm trying!

 

[john acosta]

if the secretaries are still running it .nothing will change

 

[Ratickle]

You have a favorite?

 

[john acosta]

im like most I think rwo might change along with the times.

1978 is over ,new tech new hulls new power plants,need a qualified promoter.

I don't think larry is the answer .but I do think greater minds will fall in line with rwo
and then grow again.

the pencil and tablet days are over ,the newer younger teams want to introduce new tech to the sport.
until now it has been scoffed at.

be an interesting season to watch changes take place.
but as for racing ???
I don't even have favorites anymore.

 

[Ratickle]

That's what I was talking about. Organizations, not race teams.

I don't have a favorite org or team, unless I'm driving a boat of course. But, if SBI only has 2 events, and one is Key West. Or RWO only has two events, and one is Key West. Doesn't make for much of a season......

 

[john acosta]

I know what ya mean .

at least one race a month would be ok

 

[Ratickle]

I'm hoping something positive happens this season. It's time......

 

[Ratickle]

I'm actually thinking the best for the sport is if OPA/P1 got the event. They are growing the most, and put on the most events worldwide by far.

Plus they follow UIM rules overseas and APBA rules in the US.

I'm actually thinking the best for the sport is if OPA/P1 got the event.

Yeah,what's a little conflict of interest amongst friends anyhow?

 

[john acosta]

so how did the first round go?

 

[Ratickle]

I've heard nothing yet.

Since it's a five year contract, everybody has to be sweating this....
