Ups and Downs for Team AMSOIL at Final OPA Event
OPA Racing held their Grand Prix National Race and World Championships in Solomons, Maryland this year as a combined event, October 2-5. The Solomons race was declared a double header cumulative points event, with the first race deciding the season's National Points Champions, and the first and second races combined deciding the OPA World Champions. Team AMSOIL said goodbye to Michigan and the ever-hospitable Rivers Bend Marina and made the trek to Maryland to compete for the OPA SuperCat World Title.
Team AMSOIL arrived by truck and plane overnight Wednesday to prep the boat Thursday. The Skater 368 with Teague Custom Marine SuperCat Spec engines was given a complete going over. Fluid changes, valve lash check, and a full hardware torque session were in good order after Port Huron and Detroit.
Preparations lead to testing on Friday. With a twisty course involving 5 right turns and an inside left turn dogleg, the team would not be able to rely on the same formula as the other smooth water top speed races for success. Read More on the Teague Blog
See you at the races!
