The Joker, I thought since you mentioned 20 years ago I would share a 20 year old picture. My Friends used to race the JOKER. Bay City '86Factory 2 racers anyone still racing?-art-stoney-resize-1.jpg

Jim....funny you should bring up F2....

the old F2 Swisted Styxe just won the National Points Championship in P-4 in OPA....Plus we are racing against the old 38 F2 fomula in Class 3...and Richerson is still racing his F2 Fomula in P-4 in OPA along with the old Hatcher brothers F2 in OPA in P-4...
They are still out here on the race course some with new owners and some with the same...but they are still taking the cherkerd flags....

You need to come back out...times are changing and Offshore is making a come back....

Hope you Lute get the itch again to come out and throw down like the old days....

Offshore lost a lot of good racers over the last 3 or 4 years....its time we get them back....

F1-96 and F2-62. Mostly an F1 guy. It's a shame no one wants to go back w/ sealed motors and run WOT. The GPS thing works for many but not for me.

Manitie, I saw those boats in the pictures guys have posted, Howard and Marie reached out a short while ago to say hello. I miss seeing everyone as much as the racing. I hope to find my way back in the the future. Todd put an interior in his boat, so I guess it has been put to pasture. I looks supercat light is becoming a strong competitive class, But I lke V racing. Can't decide whether to go to Key West or not. Last event I went as a spectator I had trouble eating and sleeping.

Joker, I hear you. I like a good race too. Racing a boat or two doesn't do it for me. Some of the P class have a strong roster though. I am hopeful the future will bring something good.

Would it be fair to say it is still alive in cat light.
