Look forward to seeing everyone. Chris and the entire OP staff.

Awesome! I think I am in but I have 2 issues. First is this is the night of 3 mile harbor fireworks and my kids want to go, but I will find something in place of them. My second issue is all the guys I could take are to ugly for the helicopter shots. Maybe I can convince the wife to go or maybe Kevin will wear the blonde wig:lolhit:. Chris great offer I am sure many will take advantage!

Would run this event with my 23' Stinger w/ 350sbc, but it is not ready to run....yet......

Nice gesture by OP but the run itself is too expensive for what it is...my 0.02.

Someday before Hell freezes over!
 

Just my .02 Justin get involved with the run! HELP MAKE IT BETTER!
We are eating lunch at BLOCK i think? Also thanks Chris your the best! As i always say O.P. has changed my life!:thankyouthankyou:

Very cool of Chris and crew to take care of the racers like this. I bet the atmosphere in the "pits" at OP will be cool also.

Chris, you guys are the Best!:ernaehrung004:

If you keep rubbing them you might get a nickel

Tight A$$:poopoo:

Frank saw you pulling out of claudios on sunday, sounded good....

Thanks! It is running good I just need to hook up with Zul this week and have him smooth out the injection on the bottom end. Are you doing the PR?

I dunno yet, 50/50

When will it be ready to run???

Of course, you could bring your Cigarette or OL to the event!! :D

Okay I know Justin is not interested, I know Scot & Kev are going anyone else? Sick, Jamie, Craig any of you boys from the Stamford area etc?

Myself and Gladhe8er are headed north to Lake George that w/e.... too bad, had a great time at this event last yr. Maybe see everyone at the Milford run....?

Yeah, track day at Saratoga for us. Might do Milford.

I'm done driving this tank like a b!tch so it's getting torn down for the 3's to be swapped on.
And it's a little pricey for me, although Chris's offer makes it a much better value, thanks Chris!

Ok just got my flyer for the poker run in the mail. Pat's boat is righ smack in the middle of it. Does this mean this event will be the unvailing??????

What boat did "Pat" buy??? But if it's the one I think you mean it all depends if o/l rolls anymore customer boats

Speaking of OL, I heard there was a new 29 at Claudios last weekend...anyone get any pics? Not sure what happening with Pats familys boat, but its waaaay past the target date for its unveiling.

Where's Fran???
 

It's coming...

What are you doing sat SHAKE DOWN!:evilb:

Is this run happening??

It's ready when it's ready...

Been waiting on a few things...

I saw that too, Billy wanted to use it, I thought it was pretty cool.

As far as I know the run's still on?

What's the difference when I'm ready or not? Things happened that didn't exactly work out for timing.

Like misplaced checks or just snail mail

Nothing's mis-placed.

Maybe if you picked up the phone when I called instead of just choosing to continue posting **** online. I've picked up a ton of tabs for people including everyone on this board multiple times. I've always tried to be nice and helpful to people, but suddenly none of that gets remembered. The whole way this has been brought about has been absolutely ridiculous. Go ahead keep making jokes. This isn't being an ******* but I said I was tired of the chit, you keep up making jokes and being a dick. It's the principal, you don't like how I acted, what I did was an honest mistake. It's you and everyone else who's seem to blow it out of complete proportion. I'm sure there's going to be some nasty response to this, but there's a right way and a wrong way to deal with things....this isn't funny anymore, nor was it ever.

Either or, pm me or call me if you want to be cool about it. Enough with the online ish.

Not for nothing but was blowing out of my wedding, leaving 2 $50 prime ribs on the table and taking off to a bar in Newport an honest mistake? Get over yourself pat, I respected you before, I picked up a $150 bar tab for an honest mistake, you helped me swap trailers in the rain but you insulted me and my wife at our wedding and never heard from you again

No need to pm you truth or not and I'll leave it at this, you said you sent a check 2 times already an I still have the text to prove it. An it's not about the money at all, but the fact you left James wedding not even waiting till dinner. And also everyone appriciated you piling up a tab but no one ever asked or ever just left it for you holding the bag you offered.

That is ridiculous. I talked to you the next day and told you what happened. I tried calling you not to mention, I talked to Mike THAT NIGHT, and was more than happy than to have taken care of it.

I did not insult you nor your wife in any way shape or form, so had I stayed and gotten even more drunk and done something stupid would that have been more acceptable?

I'm not getting over anything, least of all myself. You didn't express any of this the next day I called to apologize for it? Funny you leave that out?

ha, right, because I said I left my card there canceled it and called YOU UP that night to just run my other over the phone. No problem Mike, you want to leave it like that, I will. I have the texts and **** from everyone else too Mike.

Jamie, I am sincerely sorry if you feel that way.

I was honestly trying to avoid doing anything stupid and in the process apparently it got worse.

I haven't talked to you since the wedding? This is ridiculous, I'm going to be the ....better man enjoy the new ride. Hope it makes a good show at this run

this is stupid crap, over a couple hundred dollars. we burn that money in an hour on the boats. i understand it was your wedding and it is rude for pat to leave but you guys are being a bunch of women. get past it cause we are all young and have many years of having to deal with each other....i might feel different if it were my wedding but thats my opinion from the outside looking in.

PS pat is right about sick not picking up his phone. i have had a hard time getting ahold of him too. the ringer must be broken

It's not the money, it's principle, and a couple hundred is a lot different to me than it is to you, keep that in mind. Some of us have boats we had to work our balls off on and cost 25k not had someone write a check for well over 100k

1 it's principal like James said. I'm not overly worried about the coin. 2 if I don't answere there is a reason. I'm pretty sure James mike d and scot are the only ones who know how busy I am and why I leave my shop at 12 every night or so. 3 he could have called the bar it's self and squared it why did he need me. 4 don't bs me break my balls and just say hey best you for the cash but we will get together not it's debt it's deny it's send. So adam take this with a grain of salt or a black Cadillac but you have no say as a fly on the wall. You go out let him order 22 shot and you cover it just to be a nice guy. And I'm sure your response would be" why not we are all friends" or soothing to that affect.

Speak for your self.... Kevin and Scot are old as dirt!

Running sober!

:lolhit::lolhit::lolhit::lolhit:

Has anybody heard anything on this run? Everyone I ask says they have no idea what's going or if anyone is signed up. Usually we hear from Billy about who is going. If it is not going to happen or if it is not going to be a big event I might head to Block for the weekend. Just looking to finalize my plans.

Frank let me know I'll go back to block anytime

I just spoke to Billy a minute ago. He says the run is on in full force. The helo is booked as is lunch at Montauk. He's got some of the down state guys already signed up and on their way. I hope we can get a bunch of boats for him here. Also I would like to thanks you guys that have said such nice and positive things about me, Ocean Performance and the guys here that give 100%. Thank you all and above all lets stay safe. Way too many non performance boat accidents in the area. Chris.

I can attest to the above...at least in my own personal experience.

Kind of rethinking not going to this run (or at least trying to sneak my way on as a passenger) since I had a lot of fun last year. Very disappointed that I won't get to see some of the nice new hardware some of you are sportin' this year. Have fun.
