Gee, I got a couple of Evinrude 300 GTs lying around. Anybody got a hull we can use??????? :D

Ron,

The reason for this post was to find if there is enough interest in this type of racing still. I don't have numbers for the anyone so I figured this would be the best place to bring it up and see if anyone is interested. Power of OSO I guess.

As far as Showing Money, The only money to be shown is the money I pay for my equipment fees and racing fees. Alos money to purchase and rig the boat I want. I will not pay anyone to make a class for me!!!!

Thanx for the response,
DPT

Dennis, I meant, bring your check book to pay the yearly registration fee at the meeting. Nothing more. Geez.

Dennis,
I went for a 30 mile run yesterday afternoon in the ocean when the winds turned out of the SE at about 20 knots. I sort of knew something was up when I saw all the fishing boats were coming in so early. I was hoping they were only returning early to watch the World Series... ;)
Anyway....it brought my memories back of racing in the 27 ft Magnum in the Atlantic City race in 1988. :eek:
It has been a long time since being in a race boat let alone being out for pleasure yesterday. I realize I am way out of shape for this and sure feeling the pain today...:(
With having a family now, it puts alot of things into perspective... I feel my racing days are over...:(
But, whatever I can do from the beach or the computer...:D I will certainly try to get the SOB's out there.
Dennis, On my website there is a list of Forums. One is LongIslandExtreme. I haven't been there in awhile, but I will take a look to see what the L I guys are up to.
This should be one of the Prime targeted areas.
Last year they did have a representitive at the winter meeting. He felt that the bracket racing would not interest the L I guys. They want to be able to go and race as fast as they can without having to worry about avg speeds and max speeds.
Just a thought, perhaps lift the bracket rule in that class? Try it for one year?:eureka:
T2X knows there are many 21's floating around.
There were many racing in the NPBA days... A-Class I believe?:confused:
I will try to help, if the racing organization wants it...
Unless of course this becomes a "Racers Input Only" type thing. Last year I believe it was an "All Interested Parties" input wanted type meeting.
Let me know how I may help.....;)

Thanx for all the info Sharkey. Will have to wait a week to get the ball rolling. Things are not good here at home. Once things settle down I am going to be on this full steam. By any chance do you know anyo0ne you can email or tell about this post to help it get rolling also.
I kind of wished T2X would have chimed in already. He would be a great help.

If you can get the boats ,you can have a class.

If you need help let me know


Mike

Are there any scheduled meetings planned yet for OPA to discuss 2004 classes???

Dennis, I not sure what is going on at home...but I hope all is well....

Lets here from all the racers on what they think of this idea of racing??????

OPA winter meeting Dec 6 time and place latter

Chunks, how fast are these boats? Are you saying they cant run 65-70 mph? I like the idea of more boats but more class's? I say just move some of the P5 guys up to P4 in OPA.
MD
Is P2 a dead class in OPA? Maybe ditch that class and make more room for entry level. It seems to my 90-100 mph is dead. Vee bottoms need to much power and cat all go over 100mph.
