United????
 

Just got my Powerboat mag. Hagen what a great article they had on you and your vision of United we race. Its only been 5 weeks since the interview and the whole united thing went in the toilet. WHAT HAPPENED???????? OSS was under the impression you wanted joint races in 08 and now its not going to happen. Someone must be at fault for blowing another season. EVERYONE SAYS THEY WANT IT BUT NEVER GET IT. If you want it it could happen so please explain what has happened in the last 5 weeks since you have told the world you want united I am confused.
You have done more for more teams than anyone has ever done. I admire you and thank-you for all you do. Could someone preferably John explain to us all what the vision and goal is for the sport. When you say united we race is that just your team or is that a goal you want everyone to share in, If its everyone how do you plan on getting that done ? Is there a plan? Can you share it?
I know these are hard questions but as a racer I think its important to lay out your plan. If you lead us Im sure many will follow. You are a general but we need direction that is consistent.
I only dream of the days with 100 plus boats at most events.

Good question Randy, you have won a race or two, and been in the sport long enough to ask these type of questions

Hey! A few of those are bowling throphies !!:D Great job Randy I think the only one close is Reggie himself. No one can say your not a dedicated racer, Louie

If I'm not mistaken that's not a third of his trophy's. Randy do you know how many races you have raced?

That pic was from 2002 I believe. I have started aprox. 125 start. Thanks for the credibility factor but I would still love to here the big plan from AMF

Randy,

"A little friend" to get everyone to work together?

You forget what happen in Key west , when SBI invite everyone to come and race and all the OSS did was to fly there banner all over the place.

United we race starts when we all drop are colors and go racing.

I believe Everyone is welcome to race with OPA. We have a class that fits everything from a Garvey to Turbines. Come race with us! Great Guys, Great Sites, and Great Races!

PS Randy, I do believe you have earned the right to ask anything you want.

Randy, I think I'll let Haggin off the hook here. Haggin came to me with his United We Race plan.
For instance Ocean City. Between the OPA and The Pro Series. Most of the boats will already be there. To raise an additional 50K for an OSS race which will only bring in 8 -10 more boats makes no sense at all. If you want to UNITE, Pick a few races, join that Association and go race. It is not up to me or Haggin or Polli. If the teams want it, shut up and do it. Done with this topic. See everyone at the awards. Smitty
