Hey Ron-
we are all very ecited about the new boat and getting started this year.Ayway we are shooting for Kenner for our season openner.Cant wait !!!!! Also check out the new web site http://dev.jbsracing.com Looke for testing pics and vids soon.JBS

Are you saying any open cockpit boat in P class racing? Is there a purse? what rules (OPA)?
I love the idea of more boats. Will there be a Sat. race with the extra classes?
We need more details to bring the masses of racers. Big Al has touched all of our teams if you are a race Team. Think of the party's,Trophies,and his racing legacy and ask yourself how cool was this guy? He was so cool he served hot food to thousands of race teams in Key West year after year. He was not racing and still gave and gave. This will be a race to remember year after year because big Al NEVER gave up on his passion for racing boats. We should all honor such a great man and make this race the big one! Support the man who has supported you year after year!

Hmmmmm Sounds like road trip time?

If there's enough interest in P Class racing, we can probably ask our friends at POPRA to run a P CLass race on Saturday.

What other P-Class teams would like to attend?

Kenner is next to New Orleans.

Hey Jeff,

Everyone is excited to see a second turbine boat on the race course. Gieco, Bud Light, CRC and JBS. We'll give you four boats the race course all to yourselves. Just be safe out there!

Yea what he said

Jeff,

Your new website looks good!!! So you're not coming to MI races to race?

Stan and I will be running in the Cat Lite class. We are very excited to be able to participate in an event that honors Big Al's legacy. I think Randy said it best, support the man who supported racing for a live time.

Wil

When OSS called for support I said how can we not go?
If you want the best seats in the house while supporting the cause for Al Copeland and the foundation PM me or go to the website to register for the patrol.
The race producers and the city of Kenner are pulling out the stops for this one! go to www.alcopelandrace.com for the info on this event.

this race is starting to sound like a dont miss! Especially if we can get the p-classes ther too!

We are working on a way for P-Class boats to race in Kenner.

Stay tuned, we should know next week.

Hey Ron, is OSS having a race on Saturday or is it a POPRA race?

Jenni

Hang tight, we are working on something big.

Hello,

We tried to work with another organization to do a joint race that would allow P Boats to race in Kenner. Unfortunatly we could not come to terms so P-Class will not take place in Kenner.

Sorry for getting your hopes up,

Ron

Ron,

I understand fully. Thank you so much for you and the Boards efforts to make it happen for all of us that have been affected by Mr Copeland and it would have been not only a breakthru for offshore racing, but a fitting tribute to a great man. You tried and thats all we can ask for. Thank you Ron and all of OSS for trying to make it happen.

Trent Weyant

Ditto! Thanks Ron and your OSS staff for trying.

Albert

Thanks Trent and Albert, I actually feel good just for trying. More than anything I wanted to help a man with his last dying wish. He restored Al's old Cougar Vee with the triple engines and wanted to race it with Al Jr in an actual race. He has Cancer and may not live till August.

You'll see it on the race course as a pace boat...we hope.

You're still all welcome to attend the Big Bash. I'm sure we could get racers the $40 ticket price, but the cut off is 7/28 for tickets so let me know if your interested.

Ron thanks for the effort. Does any one have a pick of Big Al's boat you could post.
MD

Which one?

ccc

bbb

Which boat is the one coming.
MD

I can't remember which was brighter, the flames from that boat or Al's smile when he was running it! Those pics are sweet!

One FAST mofo...

Hey Ron.....

I heard about all your efforts to try and get everyone out to this event. Im also sorry to hear that despite all your efforts and concessions, you were unsuccessful. Keep up the good work. You and the OSS staff are well appreciated.
