More Great News for OSS
The Offshore Super Series (OSS) announced that the Tampa area Chrysler Jeep Dealers have signed on as the title sponsor for the OSS World Championship races to be held in St. Petersburg, FL, next month.
“It’s an honor to have the Chrysler Jeep Dealers as the title sponsor of OSS’s offshore World Championship races,” said Elaine Motl, OSS chief executive officer. “Sponsoring the World Championship races of the premiere offshore racing organization gives the Chrysler Jeep Dealers the opportunity to connect to a new market of fans.”

Re: More Great News for OSS
I dont write the press releases, just post them.
Maybe some new teams, keep in mind there are 49 teams listed on
the OSS website. if they only have 30 teams there so be it, if they have more, so be it. however there will be more than one or two boats per class! so it will be good racing.
However you look at it, OSS will have a sucessful world championship in St. Pete. It will mark the beginning of thier 3rd Season, as I am sure between now and April of 2006 they will have numerous press releases,
new sponsors, more teams joining. and a even bigger and more Nationwide series.
Enjoy Key West, Please be safe, good luck.

NO TV Time. make threats to sue over use of a name, ie, Worlds. If racers choose to go to KW, and some are, they wont be penalized or ostrasized (SP) by doing so, it is their choice.
As for better, the racing is great and will get better as more teams join OSS, and they ARE!! Fans have a much easier time understanding what is going on. As for the racers, they have to do what is good for them both in the spirit of competition and cash spent to bring offshore racing to the next level. OSS is doing that! I guess you could say they are paving their own way. Once again I, because I speak for myself, wish you a safe and enjoyable time in KW.

Chrysler Jeep is a very compassionate and loyal sponsor.
They really stuck by the Unlimited Hydroplane group when the DEtroit Gold Cup ran into problems..

Pier 57/Twisted Metal # 58 Super Vee wasn't able to trailer the boat at the last mnute to Corpus Christi, but its ready for St Pete! Had some major trailer issues the last 48 hours, boat was ready and able with the help from Big John. Still in the game! - It sucked not being in Corpus since the last 30 days all the work that was put into the motors,drives, etc.. But ready for the Worlds... Lisa
