Awesome boat good luck in Biloxi Be Safe

 

[Brain Damage]

SVL Guys:

Here is some unsolicited advice - do not let that boat into the class. If it runs once it is in forever. You will never get rid of it. Your boats will be worthless in less than a year. Within two years there will be one of you trying to come up with a "new" single engine "classics" class or some such to get "all of the old raceboats off the trailers, out of the garages, etc. to come racing" again just "like the good old days". All this macho crap about "bring it on" and "let's see how they turn" or "handle traffic" is just that: crap. It will last until the crew of the new boat figures it out and then starts destroying you. And destruction will occur. Guaranteed. And then teams will slowly dissolve away until there are a few hearty souls still hanging on for the free entry fees and brief run around a course somewhere, only to be the vanquished in the new Fountain ads.

Martin, I love you buddy, but you touted this P1 USA stuff for months knowing full well this boat was coming. How could you not tell George and the other teams? Uncool.

After the fact parity rules were not meant for this situation. It will not work. Keep it out of SVL from Day 1 or face the consequences - the end of your racing days.:leaving:

=======
I have been following the SVL group of racers for the past year.
The comments about this new ‘mystery” fountain boat entering you class, has lowered the professionalism, that stature that you worked so hard to establish over the past few years. I wondered why the new owner did not step in, and defend themselves a few days ago, after all the bashing, rumors and complaining that has been established.

Hindsight is clearly 20-20, and the new owner has done what any good military person would do,,, sit back and let the other team become there worst enemy, ( fight, complain, protest and fear the unknown) .It is surprising how many people started quoting rules and policies that do not even exist. (thread entry # 534 M Sandborn). The new fountain SVL entry appear to have done everything they needed to by the “rule book”

Now after all that bitching, complaining and comments about there motive, and driving skills, talents destructive decisions,,……………..”you welcome them”.????
With all the jabs and pissed off opinions about a boat builder, and you wonder why they are not supporting racing events ( like the mercury racing and herring props) as a factory?

I have watched this team( Saratoga Stampede- V Extreme) perform control with a boat that far exceed the speeds of the “vintage” SVL class in Key West last year. Every time that boat showed up to an event, it was impressive and turned heads. These guys had some early mechanical issues, but were professional and can drive a V bottom boat at speeds in excess of 145mpn ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PweJJTstRsM ). Last fall, I have read an article about him in a Powerboat interview, and had an opportunity to meet them at a couple events, when I was invited to his home at LOTO during the Shootout,,,. Clearly the owner, his son, and the entire team, were some the most professional, generous, articulate competitors to the circuit. They have the backbone of a legendary boat builder, with a crew energy level that is unsurpassed.

Now that Powerboat has reveled who owns this new fountain boat, I understand why they did not stoop so low.......... to toss rocks back at the negative comments in this forum. ..........I suggest that the majority of your boats will not fit back into the original hull mold as required?!

………”Those that think they live in glass houses, ,,,, should not throw rocks,,,,,,,,,”


The fountain team most likely understand the rules and will let there efforts be best expressed on the water this weekend and throughout the racing season..

Just to get back on track here...IS THIS NOT CONSIDERED A 1 OFF ?????? take a close look at the back of this SVL mmmhhhhh?????

It is not a one-off but it is a change that would have to be approved by OSS to comply with the rules. If not then someone could protest the boat before the race and George and Jimmy either would have to cut it off or not race.

also if he changed it ..why is it not a one off..is there a second one like this ??

U be the first to scream HELL NO if it would be a fountain ! lol
