Great news OSO!!!

Congrats!!:) :) :) :D

Nice......congrats on setting that up..

Great News

Great news..:cool: OSO..APBA..racing and Hi-performance boating,great combination.....it should be beneficial for both:D
GOOD MOVE FOR ALL PARTIES......P4-86."Full Yellow Jacket"

Sounds great,we will be in Daytona

gdfatha,

Heard it may be Sea Love Marina at Ponce Inlet. Circulation of tow vehicles/trailers was a concern but I heard it may be solved. This location would be a material improvement over the past location as it's a direct shot out the inlet. The cranes would be located at Sea Love Marina and a ramp at an adjacent location would be used for smaller boats. It is the marina that the casino boat usually is docked. The casino boat will be moved for races and its face dock will be utilized.

Not a done deal but close.

Sounds good. I hope that I can make it to a race or two this year. Unfortunatly it is looking like they are staying south this year again :(

Jon

PRO GRADE ALL THE WAY !!!!!!
 

Great Job Guy's. Keep up the good work. You could'nt ask for a better engine group......... All The Best ........... Innovation Rules as far as bullet Proof Packages. Are you sure you don't wanna' run in P-Class ? Good Job!!!!!!!!!1:) :) :fish: :fish:

Audio~Move to Florida--We need competition for the "Sound Advice" audio/video store.:D :D

Congrats OSO.... Keep up the great work and thanks for bringing us to the next level...

Thank you all for your kind words. We will be outfitting the Gladiator with the Vortecs.

We had the opportunity to be the Pace boat at the APBA Nationals and Worlds last year and can say that if you are not going to actually race, the next best thing is being the Pace Boat. The excitement of having the helicopter flying only feet above your head during the parade lap is exhilirating.

As for the OSO members you should enjoy the close-up pictures that we take from angles that even the helicopter photographers can't get. These pictures will be posted in the Photos section of the website after every race.

Our two primary responsibilities will be to start the race and then look after the safety of the racers during the race. The racers shoud be rest assured that in the event of a situation, which we hope there are not any, OSO has got your back covered and we will do our best to provide a safe race course.

We look forward to a great season which will be kicked off in Daytona in less than one month.

Be safe and good luck!!

OSO

Are we going to have an OSO party in Daytona?I'll kick in for the first round. We are at the Plaza with the Donzi crew.

Nice!!! :D

Congrats Steve,

See you at the races,

Terrah Lee

Congrats Steve and Jeffrey! Way to go.

Will you be up in Millwauke for the APBA race?

Yes, we will be in WI, thank you all. Terrah, I still owe you a lunch.

Congrats Steve !!
 

It's good to know who's "got our backs" just in case. Looking forward to seeing you guys this season. I still owe you one.

It's a tough JOB but I guess someone has to do it.:rolleyes: :D Front row seats: Priceless! Enjoy:) :cool:

Yeah, especially when someone runs over the buoy and all the other boats start heading for Cuba.

Don't be so hard on yourself. That could have been the start of something good. (Like real Offshore racing):D Now the flag upside down in NY, I guess that was just too many shots the night before.:D :) :cool:

I forgot about that, well at least I wasn't on duty that day.

Way to go guys!!! Do you need an extra EMT on board ?

Excellent Work Guys!

Great move Steve, will the motors be in by Daytona

We will be picking the motors up from Innovation while in Sarasota next Weekend. They will be installed immediately thereafter and if all goes well ready for Daytona.

The hard part will be the prop testing as the last go round we went through 20 sets of props before we found the right one.

Stop at Lake X on the way up to Daytona. I'll buy the first round while your in town. You can test it at the St. Cloud race.:) :cool:

Way Way Cool Steve !!:D

awsome

Great move OSO!!!

Sharkey, love that Avatar. So appropriate for you except you need to show the boat in the air.

Fantastic news, OSO!!
Congratulations...

:cool:

Need a doc?
 

You guys need a certified Emergency Physician on hand?

I'll find a way to be there!

Steve,
Have fun man.....you do a great job.....
I'll be at the Poker Run in Sarasota...see you there...
Barkley

Is this better Steve? :D :D :D

Thanks Barkley.

Sharkey, the bow of the boat needs to be headed for the sky.
