To all of my racing family,friends,and fans it is with deep regret that I have decided to sell our race team.With a softer construction market in some the the cities we are located in and a reduction in sponsorship money I felt this would be a wise time to step aside. I want to make it clear that all the political bullcrap that happened at the worlds and afterwards certainly dampened my spirit but it is not the reason for the sale.On the positive side I feel the new supercat class is going to be great for all of boat racing and with the new rules.much lower racing cost,and a bunch of great guys committed to having fun racing that it will rejuvinate the supercat class and we will see some more boats coming back and new ones signing up.I have a love and a committment to offshore racing and will continue to support the Gulf Coast Powerboat Assoc.,OSS,SBI.and OPA in anyway I can and if the boat does not sell at the very low price it is offered on OSO I will probably be forced to run Biloxi,Jacksonville, Sarasota,and of course Orange Beach and as we have proven in the past we are very capable of kicking some ass. I wish you all fun and safe racing. Gary -NICHOLS OFFSHORE-57

Gary you have always been a great competitor,I understand the buisness side of things,because without buisness there will be no boat or anything else,so I wish you luck in getting your buisness back in line and look foreward to seeing you out there again in the future.
