I agree with Jeff. The addition of PWC's to boat racing events could help
perk up the show, cut show costs and give the sponsor and spectators more
for their money. My initial thought would be to intersperse PWC's with the
race boat heats, this would give everyone time before their next heat to do
any engine changes or other work.

Also, as mentioned a couple of people here have ruined this newsgroup, and
most boat racers on longer visit here so you may not get a good sampling of
the boat racers.

Scott, this may not be the best forum as a couple of idiots with potty
mouths have pretty much ruined things here and many don't visit or post
any
more.

I think that you and the rest of the PWC racers would be welcomed with
open
arms. You race on the water, so we are in reality all alike. This can help
you and your racers with promotion, records, availability to UIM
(international racing), insurance etc. It may open up some existing race
sites to PWC's. At the same time it will strengthen APBA, contribute to
APBA
financially, open the world of APBA to new sites and racers. I see it as a
win, win situation.
I speak only for myself. welcome.

Dear APBA Boat members:
I am a private personal watercraft racer racing with the IJSBA
(sanctioning
body for US watercraft racing up until 2004) since 1992. It appears
that
the
APBA may become involved in the sanctioning of US watercraft races.
There
are
approximately 1,500 US watercraft racers that would be annexed into some
sort
of involvement with the APBA.
While us US watercraft racers are making some decisions on whether we
want
to
support this effort of APBA inclusion, I think it would be good to hear
how the
existing members of the APBA feel about watercraft races included in
their
organization an possibly their events.
I will check this forum regularly and look forward to hearing your
responses.
Sincerely,

Scott Frazier
