Warpaint Racing
 
1 Attachment(s)
It is with great regret that WARPAINT Offshore Racing has decided not to race the 2007 season. This decision was one of the toughest to make. This decision was not directly influenced by rule changes or problems, which arose with the OSS supercat class, we are simply going to "let the smoke clear" this year. We think the race schedule for the new 750 supercat class would have been a BLAST. We wish Tom, Bob, Tony, Bill, Sonny and the other supercats the best of luck, and would like to thank all the racers for their support and professionalism over the last couple of years.

Reggie,
Get your Dad to build you a bad ass Fountain to bring over to OSS and represent Fountain Powerboats as they should be represented... And BTW; Sorry the SpeedRacer gig didn't last very long... You guys were looking great.

This is terrible news. Not only is your team one of the most colorful but your boat is truly a classic and crowd favorite. Losing you on the circuit is a great blow to this class and to the league. AMF has some ideas to better offshore we are looking to initiate and your teams marketing experence and enthusiasm could be a huge benefit. I'll contact you with details if you are interested in staying involved in racing.

Regard's

Hey Reg,

Will you & Brett be running the new Vee in OSS ?

Apache041 02-22-2007 02:05 PM

Thanks, Guys.....this decision was hard because of the support from racers like yourselves.
After a few phone calls and emails, I wanted to make it clear, my decision was NOT related to any problems with OSS or any other organizations. The new supercat class and the race schedule is the best....I'll still be there to support them. I'm not selling (just reconfiguring) the boat.
Tom, we still still have our deal....can we throw in a ride in that Lambo!!

That's great news !!!

That alone should double the fan attendance at the races.... :drink:

Good luck and safe racing!

gary nichols 02-23-2007 04:21 PM

Bob , Good luck to you and you will be missed! I also think the supercat class will be great this year and a lot of fun. I was talking to Billy Moore this morning and if my boat doesn't sell we plan on running three or four races this year just to hose down our fine feathered friends! Gary

byrideroffshore 02-25-2007 12:02 PM

Sorry to hear that Bob. We will all miss you...Gary you have to come out and give us a shot to race the champion....Glad to hear you will be back out...
Tony

Apache041 02-25-2007 12:40 PM

Thanks Tony and Gary....I might try to do some races later in the year, we'll see. Hammer's not letting me off the hook!!

byrideroffshore 02-25-2007 01:21 PM

Seems like Gary will come out and do a few...Thats cool hope to see you soon...we will be up in your neck of the woods..
