Re: Rules 2006
Its not fair to compare OSS boat count average of I would say 35 a race to the APBA. As we all know OSS doesnt have factory racing or P class racing. I think OSS has exceeded everyones expectations I know it has mine and like you said joining with the OPA GLSCS and POPRA it will only grow larger. I believe this season has been a big leap forward in offshore racing and I hope that it continues.

Re: Rules 2006
Round, The OSS is still based around the 5 classes of SVL,SV,COB,SCL and SC. These are the 5 classes that pay money from the purse. The other classes are considered exhibition classes that are more of a run what you bring. OSS offered them a place to show case there totally amazing machines and mesmerize the fans. Hopefully some day there will be 5 or more boats in these classes but until then the major growth will be in the other 5 classes.

Re: Rules 2006
oldracefan.....
The observation I'm making is what you will see in St. Clair.
St. Clair will be the biggest boat count for 2006 until the Worlds...and it will be because of the combination of both open and closed cockpit boats....take a look at all the Organizations that had boats attend at least 1 race this year...
SBI/APBA has had around 45 or so, OSS has had around 43 or so OPA has had around 35 or so and I don't know the count for Pacific Offshore....that's around 125 boats that are out there racing.....now you have to minus out 8 to 10 for racing in more then one Organization...so it leaves you with around 115 teams out there...and you will see the number of teams out there are about the same as what was out there in 2003.....
The point I was making is we all remember in 2002 and 2003 in the 2 main Organizations you would have 70 to 80 boats showing up in one Organizations and 25 to 35 in the other...and in one race both Organizations race together and it wasn't even the Worlds....and now look at last weeks turn outs....
In closing...the point is....its great news that OPA and Pacific Offshore with there open cockpit boats will be joining in events with OSS....and you will see the big boat counts....but thats what we had in 2003 before everything went south....
Remember....the closest distance between 2 points are a straight line....but you will see when all this crap plays out in a couple of more years....you will see instead of taking the straight line....we took the seenic route to get to the same point....and get to back to where we were in 2003...
WATCH.....

Hey Bruce....no affence taken....but read my post...I said all the boats that race at least 1 race in 2006....now go to the SBI/APBA web site and look at all the teams that particapated in at least 1 race in 2006...and your right its not 45 its 48 that attended...thanks for correcting me....but wether it was 34 or 48...I guess you still don't see what I'M saying here...
You will be in St. Clair and then you will se what I mean...you will see that will be the best race all year...and I mean it from a point from a fans, sponsors, tv and the racers view...

Re: Rules 2006
Hey Manitie I guess anything is possible, you definately have more knowledge about the sport than I do, we will have to just wait and see. Also how come you wont be in Saint Clair? I would think that this would be a Huge race for the Coast Guard. I thought there was a big station in Port Huron only ten miles away.
