Good luck with that. You guys are still fixin all the stuff you broke after we pushed you all season. How much boat do you think you have left? Lol . And yes I concede that we finished behind you most of last year, but that will end young Jedi. Lol

Everyone should come out and watch 441 and 411 kill each other going into turn 1, sounds like a good way to spend an afternoon to me!

Between, us, you, Smitty, Simmons and the 39 red surf board, turn 1 could be interesting.

Thank you for all of the positive comments above about the opportunity for Fall River to host the only Opa race in New England
We have received support from our state senators, state reps, city council, mayor, Harbormasters from both sides of the bay and FRPD. The USCG has been excellent to deal with and are in support of us pulling off a great safe event. The dates are Aug 14,15 & race day the 16th. Our event will coincide with the 50th anniversary of the battleship Massachusetts. We are working closely with the director brad king so race day tickets will be available to watch from the ship. We are anticipating 3 pit areas and 1 road closure for all the RV's. We will have two boat ramps, one crane area and one travel lift area. The marina has constructed a new south entrance (opposite main entrance) that allows for large vessels to enter with ease from Broadway blvd. our next big hurdle is fundraising. We will be having a meeting April 6th 7pm @ tipsy toboggan Fall River.
Earnie has been instrumental from the start creating this opportunity for Fall River to host the races. Mount hope bay and Fall River offer 2 great things for Opa racers. An excellent wide open bay that will provide fun open water racing whether your in a 24' or 50' and a number of terrific viewing areas for spectators to watch, both of which are instrumental to making our sport grow. With all your help and Earnie pushing, we will get this done and have great event. Thank u
Mike
