Plus its a race instead of another poker run and we can wear Orange helmets Something different maybe? No betting just fun!! Unless someone wants to bet
know what jim, this staement says it all. I won my class in the first offshore challenge at an avg speed of 62.8 mph in my tiger. I wasnt the fastest, i didnt go over 5K the whole trip as my MDG performance motors only had 4hours on them, I ran the whole event at 4800 rpms...the reason I got the trophy is I finished!

Good for you!! Congrats!! A lot of races come down to who saved their boat until the end. I'll probably start out a little slower this year if I go.
