St Pete is cancelled
Dear OSS Racers and Race Fans,
At this time we need to officially cancel our 2008 World Championship Races. This means that the 2008 OSS Season will end with next weekend's race for the National Championship in Lake of the Ozarks Missouri.
We originally planned on holding our Worlds in Destin Florida as we've done for the past few years. Unfortunately our sponsor from last year couldn't make the commitment again and our race producer's wife became very ill and he couldn't take care of his wife and produce the race, so rightfully so, family first.
We attempted to relocate the Worlds to St Petersburg but finding sponsorship on such short notice was not to be.
We also met with the Conch Republic Powerboat Racing organization in Key West and attempted to put together a deal that would allow all OSS boats to compete this year in Key West for a Unified World Championship, but the offer was rejected so we will end out 2008 season in Lake of the Ozarks.
We look forward to seeing you in LOTO and look for the 2009 OSS schedule to be released before the first of the year.
Thank you and Safe Racing,
Ron Polli
