No racing till?

Man has this forum died I guess all the racing is done untill next summer? I want to get some Melbourne guy's and Coccoa guy's out there again! Anybody interested!
 
Hey Water there might be a race soon at Kissimmi Willard and my bro. shortly. Why dont a few of yall come out if ya want let you know more soon. :)
 
None this year and I doubt there will ever be another race at Sarno. I have heard the state, EPA and a stupid law suit is after the owner of that marsh. It has supposedly been shut down and the law is running people off! I believe sanctioned airboat racing has become a thing of the past. I keep hearing rumors of two new tracks opening up in south Florida but we will have to see. I have heard of new tracks a million times. Man Felda could be raking in the dough if they were open! I will give 6 more months then my boat will be for sale!
 
I have had two different folks tell me that the Sarno Marsh on the North side is not private property, it is owned by the State or County. They also said all that BS about a law suit cause somebody got hurt and was suing the owners was BS, never happened. The closure is plain and simple the County strongarming folks.

This may or may not be true, but I keep hearing it in different places now.

Does anyone know if there has been a test case of anyone getting a citation for being there yet? My bet is there has not.

Scotty :wink:
 
What about down there in Naples where they do that swamp buggy racing. Could they make a little 2 lane drag strip for airboats and hold races under their insurance. I am not too familiar with that area down there so this might be something already discussed. :?:
 
I know when I went to Hamant airboats they took me and all there other boats that they test down to Sarno and they know nothing about it being closed down and haven't heard anything about it being closed down seems like they should know since it is in there back yard and they deal with all the boaters in the area..
 
I got my info from two sheriffs that attended our club meeting and spoke to the club members directly. I can also see the marsh from my house and trust me right now the county is working on it, rebuilding the road and filling in the airboat crossing! I trust my source about the EPA efforts and the lawsuit. I guess we will just have to wait and see!
 
THUNDER I AM ALMOST DONE WITH MY BIG BLOCK BOAT. SO DONT SALE YOURS TILL SPRING AND WE WILL GET SOMTHING GOING THEN, I WOULD LIKE TO RUN A NOTHER BIG BLOCK BOAT TO SEE IF MINE IS UP TO PAR/LOU
 
Cool beans man I can't wait. I'm trying to get a bunch of boats together next sunday! So we can start thinning the field out for ya!
 
Is the race invite for any Citrus or Sumter County boats? We have a couple boats here we would not mind trying out against the boats down south :lol:

I am ready for racing old school style. Show -up, race, make new friends, then everyone go ride the rest of the day. Seems like it is all about A/C vs. CM bla bla bla! If it has a prop, fast or slow, let go. It is all about the fun. Lets keep it simple, line them up, see who is faster and have a laugh about it. I am passionate about racing like many others so lets keep the love for racing going and not all the emotions of hate and anger in our sports. Secretweapon :D
 
Ya Lou,hurry up and get that boat anchor on the water that way I can tie it to my boat and it will slow it down.I hope it runs better than that last P.O.S. You built.Is this one going to become a lawn ornament also.Don't be scared of a little ole 6 cylinder aircraft engine.I will take on all oncomers,bring it on!That goes for you to Thunder,let's see what that junk of yours will do!
