you're digging up some old wounds here. Perhaps re-openning a can that we wanted to keep closed... but I guess someone has to tell you.

The 2003 running of the Worrel 1000 was supposed to be run on chartered boats, with a cash purse for the winners. All this for a $5000 per team entry fee. Lots of people didn't think the numbers added up, but sent in their entry fees anyways.

Low and behold, the race never happened, and Mike Worrell made off with the entry fees. There was a lawsuit, it got nasty, basically this is all history that we wish could just get swept under the rug so we can move on.

Speaking of moving on, the race that took its place is the Tybee 500, running from Hollywood FL to Tybee Island Georgia. Wont be going by the Outer Banks, but hey, I'll be out sailing around Currituck/Duck in the I20 3rd week in June. (if the boat is still in one piece from the T500)
