Congrats Mike, I'm glad to see you guys are making this happen.

So this will be the week after the PR? Sounds like you're going to have your hands full for the first part of Aug.!!!

Quick questions... Will the racing take place right in front of the marina, how big will the course be, and will spectator boats be aloud out there around the course?

I wish I had taken a pic of his course map Mike made for the meeting. The course run north and south between Borden Light and the marina. Its about 4 miles and runs under the Bragga bridge by the batttleship Massachusetts, down the a state park.

I have a picture of it. It looks like a tight squeeze through the bridge if boats are heading north and south at the same time.

SS930 OPA race event August 14-16th 2015, according to OPA schedule. Check the OPA web site.....jd it looks tight.... I'm thinking OPA may re-evaluate the course that was presented.

I offered to post the OPA teaser vid Mike put together to YouTube, which makes sharing the video with potential sponsors as easy as e-mailing the link below.

I can't wait for August...gonna be nice having back-to-back boat weekends; first the poker run then the races
