Hello from AMF Offshore
 
We were browsing your site the other day and noticed some friends and acquaintances, so we decided to join the community and say hello.

Welcome John M. ScottyB is a good friend of mine. Will the team be racing all the venues this year?

SHARKEY-IMAGES 01-26-2011 08:34 PM

Hello John,

Welcome to OSO.

Congrats on your 2010 Season.

I am hoping Scotty & Marc can attend the OPA Awards Dinner in Feb to Autograph this image. It will be going to Auction for a fundraiser that Team Maxed Out Motorsports will be having.

Hi Cat, thank you for the welcome. Yes, in deed. The Mystic is on it's way home from paint and body and rigging begins. We will be posting our OPA schedule very soon. I will tell ScottyB he has friends over here.

Best wishes

Hello Sharkey, thank you so much. I have seen your work at the office and we are really amazed at the professional photography you create. I will let the crew know that your doing a charity and I am sure we can get that done for you.

Best regards

One of these days I need to come up with a few ideas for this one. It has such a mysterious look about it....:drink:
My lens was within an inch or two of the water to get that angle... ;)

That's a great shot, I agree the angle is superb. Next time your in the area, stop by the tech center and say hello...

I will find out today if Marc and Scott are attending the OPA awards, I am pretty sure they are, just have to firm up with them. Have a good one...

Hi Frank, nice to meet you. I will do. Everyone have a great day. We are gearing up for the Delray Beach, FL., Jazz Fesitival this evening. Going to be pulling out in about an hour to setup our MTI and MGR Camp. If anyone locals would like to stop by the Festival it's from 6pm - 10pm tonight.

Take care everyone...

Scotty and Marc are long-time members here. Scotty helped me get a job in the dry pits at the OSS WCs in Destin several years ago. I had a great time meeting all the racers who would come and eat, and I met Charlie McCarthy and Ken Warby as well.

We all hope that JBS and Aqua-Mania will bring good competition in the turbine class this year.

ItsPeanut 01-27-2011 04:53 PM

Welcome and good luck this year. Will their be any sbi races in your schedule or just opa. Gotta start planning road trips

Welcome John M.

I hope that you continue what John Haggin and Team Geico have done for the sport and for their sponsor, Geico Insurance. Geico is one of the most recognized names in the World of Offshore Powerboat Racing.

Hi Mike, I recently took over Stacey's responsibilties. Stacey is a real professional and great at what she does. I hope to provide the same level of professionalism in the months to come.

Hi Cat, Scotty and Marc are great people and would do anything for anyone and it's nice to hear how they helped you. We also hope that JBS and Aqua-Mania will make the OPA tour this year. It's essential for the offshore racing industry to have participation from every level in these events, kind of goes without saying. Good luck to everyone this year!!!

Hello AB, agreed. It's an honor and priviledge to be apart of the Miss Geico Racing Team. Giving 110% to this organization is my #1 priority.

Have a great weekend everyone...

Hey, welcome. Been following the team for years and want to wish all of them the best this coming year and hopefully more to come. Scotty, Marc, Mike Y to name a few have always been great to be around and made us all feel like we mattered.

NJgr8ful 01-29-2011 09:59 AM

Hey John M. Welcome to the OSO insanity! It is addicting .. BE VERY CAREFUL! LOL :D

Scotty B grew up in NJ, his family and cousins on my block in Lanoka Harbor. Now they've settled in Jupiter / Riviera Beach and I've got a place in Jupiter as well, small world. You've hooked up with a great crew ... GOOD LUCK!

Welcome!

Any chance you have some influence to get someone in Canada to broadcast some boat races??

We have NOTHING up hear anymore, we had the APBA, and on the odd occasion the great lakes racing, but all gone now.

Speed has 90% Nascar

Hi John, you must be new to the Miss Geico crew. Please introduce yourself and let us know what you do for the team.

I feel your pain!

I don't know where you live but if you are close to Sarnia you will see one of the best Offshore Powerboat Races around. The race is held on the St. Clair River at the City of St. Clair, MI. The race can be seen from the Canadian side of the St. Clair River from the Town of Courtright but the best place is at the City of St. Clair, MI where the Wet & Dry Pit Areas are and where there are a lot of great little Shops and Restaurants and where you can mingle with the racers and have a fantastic time. This racing is one of the best and is Sanctioned by the OPA and is put on the the Blue Water Offshore Race Association (BWORA). I would suggest sending a letter to TSN and the Speed Channel and telling them, that you would like to see them Televise the OPA Races. You can also ask them if they could specifically televise the St. Clair River Race so that us in Canada could see them as there is no coverage at present in Canada. TSN & teh Speed Channel can contact the OPA, here are the web-sites and check them out yourselve, www.oparacing.org and www.stclairrace.com.

Thanks Andy & Smitty,

And I'll send a note toe TSN. In the past I have contaced the head of APBA, but he said no luck with anything in Canada (they tried)

I was in the patrol boats for all the races in Toronto, fantastic time!

Sarnia sounds great, and worth the trip to get my "fix"
