Here's the vision; 50 beachcats and sportboats screaming down the beach toward destiny... when will this dream come to fruition? Spring of 07! On the morning of the venerable Newport to Ensenada Race we will be launching the Newport to Mission Bay Blast, (unless you got a better name for it) It will have all the benefits of Newport-Ensenada with none of the usual nightmares (all night drifting, border hassles, bad fish tacos, mexican jail etc.) All that's needed is a core group of enthusiasts to push the idea and build critical mass. How about a 5 stop coastal feeder race starting in Santa Barbara? Too much, too bold? Perhaps, but there ARE hundreds of beachcat sailors out there who could make this the premier west coast cat race... Lots of guys have been doing the race bootleg style for many years, now xsracing.org could help us make it real. what do you fellers think? Check out xsracing.org's forums, let's make it happen...
