I offered to bring one of my Champboats... We do not have the rig here but i have stuff here for testing and just a road trailer... i got an email on facebook asking if i can be there and i said i could and would go, but i have not heard about bringing the boat

what happened Jan 10th...anything good for racing? or just rowing....I don't want to build another GN motor for nothing.....my gig is on hold till I hear something +.....What a waste of a perfect race site.....

[buzmacdowell]

they must have done a bunch of + stuff towards the site ,,,did anyone go...maybe I'll forget the GN mota and go to Teddy Miller's wife's mota sale!

I hope the stadium survives. One of my favorite days while I lived in S Fla. was going to MMS for an F1 and Jersey Speed Skiff race, and a Jimmy Buffet concert. The Speed Skiffs are UNREALLLL!

For now I imagine insurance is easier to retain for a Dragon boat than an F1.

In November of 2011, the City of Miami Commission unanimously approved $175,000 as a match to the FIND Commission (Florida Inland Navigation District) Grant for an analysis, design and permit study of the seaside pilings and sea wall of the Marine Stadium. This important study is fundamental in fully determining the cost and scope of work required for restoring the pilings and seawall. Once this scope of work is completed, the City can re-apply for Find Commission funding for the actual reconstruction work.

I think you mean 2010.

Miami Today featured an interview with Miami Mayor Tomas Regalado where the Mayor re-affirmed that the Marine Stadium is a key priority of his Administration for 2011. WLPG Channel 10 (local ABC News affiliate) aired a television story about the Marine Stadium which featured interviews with Mayor Regalado and Don Worth of Friends of Marine Stadium.

Metropolis Magazine, Online addition, also featured a story on the progress of our initiative to restore the Stadium.

As always, there is more press in the pipeline.
