What's new for Kenner?
 

Well, there's a couple of things new for Kenner. This will be a very interesting race site. It's self contained and you will be able to watch the races from Race Village. It really is an ideal set up for racers and spectators.

If you want to party, this will be the place!

Please send and email NOW to Charli Womac. She can be reached at [email protected]. Please let Charli know how many people will be attending the Big Bash from your team. She'll make sure your tickets are waiting for you at registration.

NO TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT THE DOOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We agreed with the race producer to turn this into two days of racing. So you'll see the schedule below, there's three hours of testing broken up by the SVL race. We'll make sure that SVLs that want to test get in the water at 11am. We'll also have TV crews shooting before the SVL race - personality stuff and of course they will film the SVL race.

11 a.m. – 1:30 p.m. Insured testing with medical and rescue coverage.

We also have a new TV deal. Apparently Fountain had to back out of the Fox deal and that left us without a network. We just completed a deal with www.wealthTV.com to be on their High Definition channel starting with the Kenner Race. They don't have the same reach as Fox, but they will make two 30 minute shows per race, featuring the personalities and racing of OSS, all in HD. Martin, Charlie and Lyndsay will continue as the commentators for the show. We are excited about this new venture and look forward to having our own show back on the air.

This new network wants to put a fresh spin on Offshore racing. Please consider putting one of Freeze Frame's onboard cameras in your boat as this new group wants to use that type of footage.

See ya in Kenner....next week!
Ron

thanks for the info:ernaehrung004:

ditto. Looking forward to the races.

Ron what radio station will the race be on????

I'm not sure if a station will carry the broadcast live. www.talkoffshore.com will be broadcasting in the pits and over the internet. Also this race will be our first filmed in 1080i HD!!!

Strip, please say hello this time!!

Ron its more fun taking picks of you and the models:rolleyes:I like being invisible:party-smiley-004:

We'll be in the pits Friday and Sat morn, bringing the Hustler down to watch the race from.I'll holler at ya Fri.I hope they make this a yearly venue!!

I would figure Talkoffshore would broadcast on a am station?

Rob:ernaehrung004:

The talkoffshore show sometimes also get broadcast by local FM stations too......

The Copeland family wants to make sure that your visit to "Their House" goes as smoothly as possible and they want to make sure that you can enjoy the Big Bash on Friday night. In order to achieve those goals, the Copeland family has hired limo buses to transport the racers, their teams and families back and forth from the Radisson to the Landmark Hotel on Friday evening. Two buses will arrive at the Radisson starting at 6:30 p.m. on Friday evening to begin the shuttle service to the Landmark. The buses will run continuously between the two locations until midnight.

Each Race Team will receive 8 BIG BASH tickets at no charge at OSS Registration.
