I would like to know who is racing. It would be easy to put up a list of participants in each class. As a spectator I wouldn't want to go to an event that only had 10 boats with only one boat in each class. Kinda like watching Miss Geico race in turbine class when no other boats are in the class [using Team Geico only as an example]. It is also a draw for boating people if they know a person involved in the race... at least that is true from my perspective.
I can't comment on the sponsors motive or intent on the number of participants. I did ask about the prize money and how it is calculated for pay outs and increases if more parties attend. In SBI if you have six boats in stock class the payout is substantially higher for first place than if only two boats participated.Quote:

I hope the drive over will be worth my time.

P.S. I would certainly like to meet you GN7.
You have an awfully lot of shit to say GN7, are you racing ? My bet is no you are not....
You've been the biggest cancer to the RDP 336 Enduro. You've shit on it since day one.
KAP, I would recommend speaking to Dave on the phone to get more information on what you'd like to know. The political drama in boat racing is sad. Boat racing will not continue with the next generation, it will die with the current racers(some not all) they are the haters of change......
Good to see the true colors of the people in this thread, if you cared about the enduro and Parker you'd support it regardless of the promoter or race director.
Please don't include HB in your comments. We have been to every event possible and have sponsored races and racers since our launch. We definitely care about the sport. I do hope the Enduro does well. It is a great race and a great venue. Actually we did plan on spectating but our daughter has dance that weekend.Quote:

I had a 1 hour talk with Scott about it just 2 weeks ago, and it was still NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. It RD whats to stick to rules, and make it so the GNs can not race for APBA points, then he will suffer the lose of a good number of GNs. I cannot help that, that's RDs choice, not mine. Before the enduro was a points race, there were 4-6 GNs. When it became a points race, it was the largest class in the enduro. Last year there were 13 GNs. This year there might be 5. Same as before it paid points. I tried to explain to RD that paying money was trivial at best. Nobody the RACES a GN is going to spend the 5000 to 6000 dollars it takes to run that race so they can win 1500. Its STUPID!!! Remember Hammer, these guys are opening their wallets ALL YEAR. For you dipshit ass to say what you just did is asinine and ignorant. You are CLUELESS as is RD. When he wakes the flock up, he might find a few more boats on the water.Quote:
