SVL Point Pleasant
 

In an effort to stop the battling among the svl teams, I have made a few calls and here is the deal. Randy has been calling out Shane. Obviosly Shane is comfortable racing right where he is. And Randy is comfortable right where he is. So here is the deal. Shane has agreed to come to Point Pleasant. Neutral grounds. Randy and Willie have shown interest. How about the rest. OPA will put up 5000.00 to the winner of the SVL shootout. This Thread is not for bashing each other. First sign of bashing and the 5000.00 goes to the P class. This is an effort by OPA to settle the nonsense that goes on here. Man Up or Man Out. Smitty

good idea

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

I am a P class guy so bash away :D
Seriously, Great idea Smitty. This is going to be a great race.
I believe smack talk should be aloud though
Point Pleasant should be a memorable event
KLAATU, If you want to save a few bucks, you can hitch a ride in Martha or George

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

:D :D :D


Now I guess I have to come to PP :drink:

Re: SVL Point Pleasant

Re: SVL Point Pleasant

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Sounds good, call me will ya :D

I am trying to get the race boat ready, below are the pics, we think it's coming along nicely...

We are having some trailer issues though :rolleyes:

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Last time Shane raced in Point Pleasant, he ended up going for a swim.

Hey Randy, if you loose, will you wash Shane's boat, like a good looser?

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Wow, what a great opportunity to put up or shut up! This should make for a great race in a race. Are they still running the race on a weekday? Or is it a weekend race now? I might just have to visit my family that week. Good luck, and may the best team win. No matter who that ends up being. Great idea Smitty.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

The race is on Friday August 12th. See www.oparacing.com for details.

Pete, come on up, we'd love to have you help out again.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Oh man, now I got to get a lid!!!! :eek: :p

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

I want to go too, can I hitch a ride..........maybe Frank will want to take the AMTRACK......... :D

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

BTW, love your graphics-who's your painter.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Albert, I already told you, boat or no boat. You the wife and baby better be here! You can stay with us. And we'll make Augie cook.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

This is like reality TV. My blood is pumping just envisioning the start of the race. Cool idea Smitty. I hope other teams join in and chase for the purse. Thanks for keeping racing fun.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

A little talking (on the telephone, not on a public forum), some common sense and ANYTHING can get done without the fighting and name calling. Good job Smitty. So, who's in besides Shane?

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Leave it to one of the Jersey Boyz to come up with a way to put a lid on the situation. High 5 Smitty.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Hello..............any takers?

Re: SVL Point Pleasant

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Oh my, the thought of crashing through Pt Pleasant inlet has rendered him speechless. Thanks Randy, I get it.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

For as little that is said on this thread, it speaks volumes

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Im gonna go out on a limb here. Im not starting trouble, slamming, being negative, Or speaking on Randys behalf. Just the facts.

If Shane is serious about comin up here for this race, I give him alot of credit. Personally, If I was running the national circuit and lived 1000s of miles away from Jersey, I would think about the logistics of actually making this event.

I say this because, SBI/APBA will be coming off the NC race on Sunday and then have to trek back to their homes and back up to NJ within 4 days and then back down to Ft. Walton Beach the following week. That's 3 weeks straight of racing. How many of you can actually do that? Even if you dont bust up your boats, thats a hell of a lot of time traveling.

For those of you that can pull that off, You have my utmost respect. If you can do it, Randy can. Thats proffessionalism. (sp)

Im sure Randy is considering the offer, however, I doubt anyone else will be able to make it. They have Orange Beach the following week, and knowing how the waters can be in PP, they dont want to risk breaking anything before OB. (no slamming please)

It would be extremely xciting to watch this showdown and I'll bet we can get some side action goin on this event.

So, let Randy think about it. I'm sure Smitty will hear from him soon. The more you bust his balls, the less he will consider the challenge. If, by chance he turns it down, respect his decision and we'll try another time.

keep it civil and dont dump on me too hard.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Good points Bruce, it just goes to show Shane is'nt ducking anyone and will go to great lengths to prove it

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

I am sure we are going to have a informal svl discussion on this next weekend mark randy is probably waiting for that ( instead of poping off) we do have a race the next weekend so there are things to consider

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

hey Mark...hows everything ? nice to hear from ya. :D

I know, I started this Challenge or maybe just continued it. Who knows?

Anyway, Randy will chime in when he's ready. But he'll probably just contact Smitty directly, by phone. It's easier that way.

If it doesn't happen in PP, maybe NY or even Cambridge (more logical). It would be nice if they could get some kind of one race deal with SBI.

Have a great night :drink:

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

:eureka: :eureka: :eureka:

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Bruce, I only mentioned Pt because of the challenging coarse. We can run a short coarse as to save the Equip. They can pick any site they want. The entire motive of this challenge was just to get these guys together, and end all the BS. I know Shane, as I do all the rest. Great guys, In any other environment, they would get along fine. Smitty

Scotty: Is that a typo? Takes on a new meaning. :p
Have a good week. :D
Charlene

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Heck of a typo, I fixed

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Im thinkin ...Cambridge will be the best place. its at least two weeks in between either assoc's. schedules, and maybe we can get the entire SVL fleet to this one. The show for the spectators will be awesome as well.
What dya think? :eureka:

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Hey Mark...good to see ya again. Beautiful day..isnt it? :D

I took my happy pills. the DRx renewed my prescription

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Hmmmm, Shane's in California and Randy is 20 miles away, both have off that weekend.

Shane's willing to make the trip,,, uh Randy, time to man up.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

I have this image in my head of a scared puppy peeing all over himself. Why is that?

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Randy is taking some time off from OSO,BUT I AM NOT.Randy will be in Pt.Pleasant for the challenge.I would expect with the interest in this race that MM,Phantom1,Fast daddy and any other fan of this grudge match would be present.If you want to talk smack,you have to be willing to back it up.I understand that the winner will take home 5000.00 and the looser gets nothing,zero,Nada.Does anybody disagree?

Wil

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Guy's, understand...5000.00 is for min. 5 boats in the SVL class. Willie, you are correct, no 2nd., 3rd. place money, straight out 5000.00 to the winner.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Augie, what's the prize if only two boats show up?

Your right Willie, time to back up the big talk.

Re: SVL Point Pleasant
 

Augie,
What are the fees for the race?
