Maybe the Racer's during the off season can vote to lower the minimum length to 37' 9" or 37' 6" to not only allow your boat but any other's that may be kept from racing in that class as well...??? (Just a thought.)

Don't get me wrong I love the place and what made the awards best was the company and guests.
But for once I thought maybe the awards would have been a little more organized and formal.
The over crowded stage area was so bad that I was ready to pack it in and not risk damaging my equipment. But I stuck it out because we had the legends in the sport among us! Al's trophy is now back in his possession, and it was a sight to be seen. It was more history in the making and I wanted to capture it.
But if it helps with the planning for next year, the Awards needs to be in a much bigger place...
Huge thanks for AJ's for putting up with us all week...

No doubt the convention center would have offered more room but there would have been no booze and very very few fans.
If that's all we can gripe about, it was a damn good week.

You guys that keep saying Key West would have been better need to go talk to JC,,, He is the one who does not want anyone playing in his sandbox!! 
I think the OSS guys have made the best out of a bad situation and they should get lots of atta-boys and support from the fan's.
