Sorry to say this but you need to sit down and give you mouth a chance..........
RB08 and othe races such as Cowes Torquay and L/MC are putting OFFSHORE racing back on the map not circuit bumper cars

in all fairness hondas are a good racing spectacle
but, and i do apologize in advance, the boats seem badly built, unstable and easy to hook, and we wont go into what happens to the engines, but they seem to also be able to take the roughest of conditions to, honestly, ive never known a honda race to be called of because of weather
i personally, can see how you can compare a v24 to a honda, soo many differences, and the sound a v24 makes
its a shame that the honda boys wont join the v24s and ocrs and 2ltrs at similar evnts, why when everyone was down in torquay, were honda up north i remeber passing negotiator going the opposite way, on me way to that event

Liverpool is a good location to race, especially with the tide, only problem is the rubbish in the water

i think if v24 had the backing, publicity and coverage of honda, ie sponsors etc the fleet would be alot stronger as it would be more affordable
(still dont think it would change all the problems tho)
but, what i think alot of people, including myslef are drawn in by, is this bumper car style of racing we refer to is mainly concived through the 9 minuite promo video made for the honda series, aimed at capturing a big audience, crashes and excitement, get views, i agree that i shouldnt happen, but i think the honda series is helping powerboat racing........somehow

The honda vid did seem to show a rather a lot of bumps and crashes, but that was including the 150's as well. During a race you do get a couple maybe more bumps a race but that is it

Maybe the v24's could become a support race for the honda's, now that would be good

i think if you could arrange somethink with the v24, ocr and 2ltr boys youd b on to somethink
i dont know how often you boys race, and alsio cant find the v24 calender,
but surely it makes scense to have it all in the same place at the same time
