I read it the 1st time in case YOU missed it : Stock Outboard Racing 1:00pm to 2:30 At Blue Water...8:00 am To 9:30 am Stock Outboard Racing at Blue Water.;..3:30 pm To 5:00 pm Stock Outboard Finals At Blue Water................as far as the flat bottoms being "surpassed" as YOU put it,....when's the last time YOU guy's had to have a "HEAT RACE" you know, because YOU had so many SKIERS entered you couldn't run them all in one race. ?.......so much for progressing the sport huh ?

Most likely, Lynch's or Bildo's.

I guess it's all about reading comprehension?

You must seriously have a problem with reading comprehension. What does "when's the last time YOU guy's had to have a "HEAT RACE"" have to do with anything I said? At least quote my whole sentence, and not just a part of it, if you are going to quote it.

As far as why the numbers are down, I feel, Mike G (Rex Marine) said it best "A basic problem I think that was mentioned elsewhere is kids now grow up boarding. Water skiing is not the cool thing any more. Most are never even exposed to water skiing now, either in practice or through advertising. Also, there are so many activities to compete with in the southwest it is tough."

Although numbers are down, I am still involved, why aren't you?

Dipshit quotes above are from YOU ( I made the one really really big so YOU could read it ) since you seem to be such a voracious reader, try to wrap your mind around the article attached here, 180 SKIERS at ONE race over TWO DAY's of racing. It's more than obvious too me that the "FLAT BOTTOMS" were capable of FILLING RACE VENUES. I look at the LOW number of racers that show up at the ski races these day's, hell I doubt you get 180 "skiers" a year in all races combined, yet YOU say the "FLAT BOTTOM's" have been "surpassed" ? AND don't EVEN bring up "the catalina ski race, greatest ski race in the world", shit, back in the day we'd get upwards of 120 or more boat/ski teams, most of them 18 ft. "ski race boats", and an occasional 20 ft. day cruiser type. Run along now son, you ARE too young, too dumb and way UNDER equipped to debate me on the history of waterski racing. I'm NOT into it anymore, I'm old an had my "day in the sun" and ENJOYED it to the fullest. In closing, I would suggest you seek some professional help, I can see my post's on the glory day's waterski racing are just eating at you, just let it go man, it will NEVER be like it WAS, FACT.

Well this has been a bit of a surprise. I was sure GN7 would be the one to close up this thread, again, but thank you GN7 for being extremely civilized and generous in providing a ton of good information to all of us. I certainly appreciate it. Now there seems to be some sort of other hair raising battle going on and to be honest, I'm not even sure whats it all about. And I honestly don't want to know at this point. So, unless we can all play, I lock it up once again. Please don't think you're gonna get your last jab in before I do, because I'll just delete it. So, whats it gonna be?

Can you at least give Bob time to read my appreciation of how this is becoming a race for outboards. I wish I could be in attendance now.
