Biloxi.. More Than Just The First 2010 Race!
For Immediate Release
January 23, 2010 Indianapolis, IN.
The Offshore Super Series (OSS) is pleased to announce its 2010 season will once again kick off with Smokin' the Sound (STS) in Biloxi Mississippi May 20 - 23, 2010. The virtual "stadium" seating along Casino Row sets STS apart from other race venues for watching some of the most impressive powerboats in the world topping speeds of over 150 MPH. Sunday night's STS's award ceremony will once again feature The Randy Linebach Lighthouse Award. This perpetual trophy recipient is selected by vote of the OSS membership for the racer in any category demonstrating exceptional teamwork, sportsmanship and camaraderie.
In addition to STS being a great race site and venue, OSS will be introducing lower costs for the teams.
The OSS Board has reduced all fees for the 2010 Season.
1) Lower Hull Registration of $1500; Owners will have two payment options; one will be to pay up front. This option will also afford an owner the added discount of $375, making the total hull registration only $1,125.00, or 50% less than 2009. The second way is the pay as you go plan; in this option the owner will pay $500 per race until the $1500.00 registration fee is satisfied.
2) $700.00 Membership Credit; Another savings to the teams will be a $700.00 credit that will be applied to crew membership fees. The credit will be for two riding and up to five additional non riding crew. Any additional members over the seven will be at $300 for riding and $50 for non riding members. This is a savings of $1,100.00 over 2009 membership fees. These new lower fees will save up to $2,225.00 for 2010 registration and membership costs.
3) Lower Race Entry Fee; The new race entry fee for 2010 will be $1,125.00, 25% less than last year's $1500.00.
Something else that is new for Biloxi and the 2010 season will be a drawing for a free hotel room for the race weekend. Teams that raced in Biloxi and LOTO in 2009 will be eligible for this free room drawing. Winner will be announced and notified at a later time. Board Chairman, Mike Mares said, "We (OSS) intend to continue this new room drawing at each OSS race site throughout the year." Race Producers, Woody Bailey, Rusty David and Asher Travis, along with the STS Team, are hard at work to continually improve their world class site. Bailey said "We are looking forward to a great weekend and are once again rolling out the red carpet to welcome all racers and fans to the Mississippi Gulf Coast." Bailey added "We are planning to have more promotional items to be given away at STS 2010. Stay tuned for more information as it becomes available."
The second race on the circuit will be the 2nd Annual Lake Cumberland Gran Prix in Kentucky. This year the Cumberland Race will be June 3-6, 2010 and in a different location around the City of Somerset, KY. Somerset is on the opposite end of the lake and has plenty of hotels, motels, restaurants and shopping. Lee's Ford Marina is the host for the 2010 event. More about this event and the rest of the OSS season will be announced in the near future.
