Question

Any ideas yet on a preliminary meeting for potential single O/B racers? Everyone that I have spoken to here on Long Island are in favor. I think a meeting could bring many of them to the table. I will offer my shop (Kryptonite) out here in Eastport as a location if need be.

Another thought! Maybe each local manufacturer building an eligible boat could put one together as a factory sponser boat. (Kryptonite, Superboat, Progression, Activator, Hustler, Intimidator, etc.) That would bring a handful of new product out there as a showing of good faith and committment. Even better if we could get a Long Island race for this class to happen.

Kirk,
A "discussional" meeting has been set up for anyone interested in this class. The meeting is 9:30 am 11/16 at "Pit Bull's" shop, 242 Guy Lombardo Ave. Freeport NY.
On the "Scream and Fly" site, this has been a hot topic over the past week. Several of us from NJ will be attending. If the interest is there, then we can move forward and approach OPA as a group.
Please pass off this meeting date to anyone you've spoken with!

Spoke with John Coen of Superboat Powerboats this evening. He and his Son will be attending the meeting Sunday also at Pit Bull's shop. Looking forward to a good discussion on this topic with lots of input from different people. See you all Sunday.

Kirk's idea of each LI manufacturer sponsoring (and Godfathering) a boat is a very good one. Don't let him (and the other guys) get away without it!

I think the Boyz at OPA will be glad to have you eggbeaters if enough boats show up. And judging from the amount of traffic that topic gets at Scream&Fly (which is the eggbeater hangout: http://forums.screamandfly.com/forum...threadid=45511 ) there will be TONS of boats at the races!

I'm sure if OPA was interested and went foward with the outboard class SBi would also be interested in possible doing something.John is always open to new ideas,and always willing to work with the racers. It would hurt to ask and se where it goes.
