Littlehampton is a great event and one that requires more support from competitors. 25% of the boats in the race belong to
Cliff and 1 is mine. Hats off to all who have entered and all that put the event on, but seriously where are all the boats ????

thats more like it mickyboy

It would be a lower percentage if cliff would sell me a v boat!!

Cliff are you still renting them out? I might treat the old boy to a weekend away and magically turn up at a uk race and see if the guernsey boys can get a v boat going!!

I agree they are doing a great job and good luck, not a bad entry list so far.

Personally I am not into long distance racing or 1 day events and for that reason I am out !!

I am quite sure Brian has his reasons as well !!

However Powerboat Racing is far from dead, just needs a little more positive input and some joined up thinking !!

Bob

Haha good banter

Get down there and show them how its done scotty!! Would be interesting to see how the B23 fares against the V24..

Credit to you Cliff for being in the sport 17 years, we can all hope we stay in it that long - great sport. Which race has been the highlight then? And which was the best race boat you ever owned?

When you retire ill take you on as team manager but no red bull orders.. I aint slowing down for my old boy to catch me!

All the best for your race this weekend

If you get on with it you guys can pop across for Admirals Trophy Race in Charlestown !! You can compare your performance against the OCR boats that Wooped the V24's last year at Littlehampton !!

Bob Littlehampton last year V2 lap all the boats twice and stop at start line
at the 1 hour to say stop the race. But Anne said go on one more lap.
Jaques As for my Best race there are two it has to be Winning the Needles Trophy
in Poole in 1995 the race was 125 Miles long with Simply the best M20
with 11 Class two Boats.When Mr Pascoe said how can a piece of shit win the Needles cup And my lovely Anne B said to Mr P first you have to enter the race do all the laps in right order and cross the line first. Then you win. And Ramsgate V24 Europians Me and Mark Bridges
won the first race. My worst was Brass Monkey where i crashed and put me and my nav in hospital and now walk with a limp. In 17 Years the start line in
Poole with 68 Boat in one start My engine falling of on start run in poole.
My roll in Scotland in My V boat My 2 rolls in Tubhumping at LA

And have you seen Scotty yet in a boat C56 Look good at southampton but not
in LA And yes all My VBoats are for sale now e
