[James Aderholdt]

How many teams from the USA will be making a journey across the pond to compete in 2007? I'll be glad to help in any way!! I'll be attending all of the F500 races and the 0350 Worlds. Does anyone know how long since an American won a World Championship??????

OSY World Championship: England
0125 World Championship: Poland
0250 World Championship: Poland
0350 World Championship: Poland
F500 World Championship Series. Italy, Germany, Poland, Latvia, and Austria

Not sure of the dates for the other rounds on F500 - James obviously knows something I don't!

According to the rumour mill.....Znin Poland will add a round of F500 to the 0125 World Event and the "new team" in Austria, have started working on a round of F500 also. I thought you were on the leading edge of rumour control....Corin???? How did these tid-bits slip past your radar?????? Again....Any of you guys or gals coming over for the Worlds?

Endless Summer

Racing internationally is definitely on my "things to do list". Jimi O gave me the idea, but I fully intend to race every weekend for a full year – 52 weeks strait. Just think of it: Seattle, then California, then Singapore, Florida, Japan, Germany, Netherlands, Michigan, etc., while also trying to hit every “big” race along the way… I know of people that take a year off and sail around the world – why not take a year off and race around the world? You could have a 125/250/350 in Europe; OSY in Asia; an sst45, ASH, & 2.5 Stock in the US; CSR in South America; and on and on. That would be the ultimate Endless Summer.
