racing or top speed???

[Steve Miklos]

This thread got off target a bit...

I'd rather see deck to deck racing. I also believe the NASCAR example of taking over the US vs Farmula 1 or Indy has proven that most fans feel the same in this country.

That being said, a high speed spectacle, such as LOTO every year, also shows a huge following for the high speed, large boat, demonstrations. A race with every turbine cat running well would be extremely exciting. But I worry about those guys at those speeds very time they're out there. At the speeds they are running, a flip in a sweeper or straight would not be anything I would ever want to witness.

I believe the Amsoil Cat, and the class they spec into, is as good as it gets. Maybe the old SuperCat class was top of the heap for what I've witnessed. I believe there were 13 in Key West in 03. Then an engine rule change destroyed that class, just as those same types of changes have destroyed every top competition class up until now (in my estimation).

An engine rule and tight specs is what made Supercat. What broke it was there is always one or two guys (usually newbies) who will temporarily spend whatever and they like to change things to price the others out. They exit the sport and leave a big mess.

I would like to see every class race at least one race a day just like in other forms of motorsport running a championship series as offshore doesn´t have a starting grid to qualify for on saturday.

Regarding dominant P racers, If that´s how much they want to spend and not more then it´s up to them.

the NASCAR word!!!! mikey trucks race friday,,,,nation wide sat,,,,,,cup sunday....i don,t think you can cordinate 6 to 8 races a day,,,,they have trouble getting 2 done on time..

Daym you Americans allthough I love Oval Racing

I thought more about roadracing/sport car like ALMS/FIA GT/ Formulas an sofort... over here every class goes on track same days.

Lets say first is the free practices on saturday morning, then qualifications afternoon and on Sunday two races each class.
With boats it could be 2 races a weekend saturday and sunday having the tests on Friday or on your own time the week before


Well guess not George
