Re: Point Pleasant
Hello Race Fans,
We are getting down to the wire, just nine days until the best day of racing Point Pleasant has ever seen. We might end up with so many boats that two races are required. If this happens, the starts will be at noon and 1pm. We are attempting to run just one race so our volunteers don't get too abused in the ocean but if it's a nice day and the pits are full of boats, things might change. You'll find out the entire schedule of events at the meeting on Saturday night.
Once again, you always come through by volunteering your time and boat in order to keep our racers safe. Without you, the Coast Guard would never let us do this race on a weekend. It's because of the professionalism and dedication to safety that NJ Offshore and OPA have demonstrated over the years, and for that we thank YOU!
All volunteers must attend a mandatory meeting at 6pm next Saturday night at Jenkinsons's North (100 yards south of inlet on boardwalk). At the meeting, you'll receive your assignments, instructions and flags. Scorers will be assigned boats and land volunteers will be given instructions. Hopefully we'll also have T-shirts for all of you. After the meeting, stick around for a meet the racer party sponsored by Jenkinsons.
How's the fishing lately? I hope they aren't catching Fluke in front of the beach! Hopefully the fish are in deeper water and it won't be an issue. Be prepared to play cop and chase them off the course, please plan on getting an early start. The course will be set up with NEW HUGE orange blow up pillows. It will be set up by 10:30 am, so leave a good hour to clear the course. We also expect a larger than normal spectator fleet so we'll all need to be on our toes. It should turn into a very exciting day on the water.
All Volunteer boats need to carry all Coast Guard required equipment on board, including life vest for every member, a throwable life saving device, a sounding device (no, your wife doesn't count) and flares with a current date. Beyond that, you'll need a VHF radio with channel 78 for all race communications. Remember to charge your batteries.
Here's a list of all current volunteers. We could use a few more sweep boats to patrol the perimeter of the course. If you know of anyone that needs a jolt of adrenaline next Sunday, have them go to http://njoffshore.homestead.com/volunteer.html and fill out the online form.

Re: Point Pleasant
Hello Racers,
It's getting close. Just nine days to go, time to get ready to rumble in Point Pleasant NJ. Here's a couple of things you need to know.
The Pits will be open to you from Friday afternoon on, so please come early especially if you want to be in the Friday Night Parade. We'd like as many boats as possible in the parade as it's a kids favorite. The Camber of Commerce is working with us so expect to see bands and fire trucks. Its a nice four mile route that will lead you right back to the pits. Please try to make it and get everyone in the town ready for a boat race.
We need everyone to follow the rules regarding numbers. With this many boats, our scorers need to see clear numbers. The numbers need to be at least twelve inches tall by three inches thick on a white background. Please help our scorers get it right. Make your numbers clearly visible, including the P Number.
If this is your first race of the OPA season, you'll need to pay the yearly registration fees. They are $500 for the boat and $100 for each riding crew member and any crew member than wants access the hot pits (by the crane). Credentials will be made at registration. If you got one in Algonac, don't loose it, you'll need it at every race. There is no race entry fee and thanks to AMF Offshore Racing, there's a $25,000 purse.
If this is your first race, please fill out the paperwork before you arrive. It's available on www.oparacing.com. If you raced in Algonac, then no paperwork is needed. It's in the new computer system and it will be printed out for you at registration.
NO GAS in Point Pleasant. We didn't get any response regarding the need for an onsite fuel truck, so please make other arrangements for fuel and arrive with your tanks full.
We will give out laps next Wed so you'll know your mileage ahead of time.
Here's the list of boats that committed to attend Point Pleasant. Please reply to this email with any adjustments or changes.

The long orange hair really makes the image complete, don't ya think?Just bring the boats back from the ship and get em ready and full of fuel. Everything else is looking good, almost too good.
We have 35 volunteer boats ready should they be needed.
Jeff, you're flying this race with video right?
Talk offshore will be there and.......we might even attempt live video over the internet. More on that next week.
