This message is for Inigo,
I was asked to take over for PR for Key West snip
What does that have to do with my questions ? Nothing....
If people had a problem thinking that the race was going to fail because
the
LLC would not pay, then I suggested to Tony that we charge a fee that would
cover the expenses, so that the naysayers could not say they were afraid
that
they could get to Key West and the race would not happen.
Finally! An answer to my first question! AOF is charging this fee, not the
LLC
You see, Connie, that my interest is in identifying mis-information,
deception, and lies perpetuated by Mike A. and the rest of the LLC. It was
they that posted the information about $0 entry fee and prize money.
I know that you know
absolutely nothing about AOF or kneel down racing, so I will fill you in a
little.
I know more than you think. I attend 2-3 OB races a year, as member of
dive team or spectator. I also have run inboard tunnels in the past, which
I believe are quite similar.
An AOF week end of racing costs as little as $260 snip
Try promoting an offshore race. At the divisional level, cost is near
$50,000.
$260 doesn't cover the entry fee for each team.
And as for working with Mike Allweiss: I haven't even dealt with Mike
Allweiss on the Key West Race particulars.
Maybe you'll get very lucky and won't have to.....
ALL work
on the race is with Lee Mills who not only is putting on this race, he
LIVES in
Key West, so it is imperative to him that the race turns out well.
Not necessarily, John C. lives in KW and it never seemed to bother him as
long as the kickbacks from the hotels and bars continued.
APBA did not want to get involved with the race, so that is ok.
Ever stop to wonder why, after all the court BS is mostly over and they
(APBA & LLC) are supposed to be all nicey-nicey, that APBA doesn't want
anything to do with this event???
This race,
no matter if it is the LLC, the AOF, the SBI, APBA, or NASCAR, who is
putting
on the race is still the BEST thing ever to happen to kneel down racing.
It's very possible.
In fact, put your driving where your mouth is, and join in in
the celebrity race. I DARE you. If you have enough balls to come on here
and
badmouth my type of racing and a race our drivers will be given thier first
chance to bring our sport to the entire public, then have enough balls to
get
in one of our boats.
And I bad-mouthed your 100 pound pieces of wood with souped-up motors (your
description, not mine) when ????
Can't seem to remember any statement to that effect. My problem is with the
Asshole in Tampa/St. Pete, not you. Unfortunately you seem to think
otherwise.
Send me three plane tickets and comp hotel room and I'll show up to kick all
your asses.
Maybe even bring my ultra light tunnel. (See, I spent all my money on fuel
this year..)
This sport, all the way around needs more positives.
That's why we need to rescind SEA-TAC and get rid of licensees from the
board of directors of APBA.
This is the first time I actually get to take a real vacation
And this is somehow someone else's fault ???
I get to go to Key West!!!

"Whoo Hoo!
Enjoy yourself..but seriously, keep the kiddies away from the homeless
drunks in the boat shanty towns and the crack heads on the South side. Have
a rum runner for me at the Holiday Isle in Marathon on your way down.
YOU made something out of it that it is not.
And I did this when????!!?? All I did was ask two questions, ONE of which
has been answered so far
NONE of us have ever had the oppotunity to be on FOX speed channel
And you probably won't get on there now either. Your event will get MAYBE a
1-2 minute segment if you don't negotiate this with the LLC *******s. What
you should be doing, is demanding 10-12 minutes of EACH show. Good
Luck.........
You folks should be talking to the Monroe County tourism board and asking
for your OWN race weekend. They'd probably put up $5-10K for prize money!
Collect $50-100 from each team and produce your OWN television show. Why do
you guys always sell yourselves short ?
Any chance you are going to answer my second question ????
