Re: OPA list
 

I'm trying hard Bruce, but it seems that someone else bought all the cheap go fast parts up, and my list is kinda long too.

Re: OPA list
 

Jim you guys are not chasing nobody, you guys are plenty fast.

Re: OPA list
 

what do you need?

Re: OPA list
 

Gino, Haven't Seen Any This Year, But I Am Right There With You Between The Two Of Us We Could Have A Winning Boat. Lets Get Together. Bill

Re: OPA list
 

Bruce. I need Cly heads, 2 pistions, 1 rod, set of valves. All the parts are ordered, but not much has showed up yet.

Re: OPA list
 

I have lots of pistons...they all have holes in them. Your welcome to them. :D

Actually i do have some pistons, give me a call. Maybe I can help

Re: OPA list
 

You're back on the list!

Re: OPA list
 

Hey Bill....first beers on me in Destin....

Bruce...you have to remember...where Warren lives...once the parts get to the outskerts of Va. then they have to take it by horse...then they have to fine a bird thats big enough to fly it in and land on the lake...then a fish has to take it the rest of the way to shore...

RANDY You said that you would never tell. Now you have let the cat out of the bag.

Re: OPA list

Ron

Sponsor name change: AMF/Raylar #513 & new driver! YeeHaaaaw!

Re: OPA list
 

Sounds good Brian, but I put you in Class 4 as per Smitty.

Who else is coming East with you?

Re: OPA list
 

Not going to let the classes get out of conrol. If the boat is over the speed of the class a little no big deal. If the boat runs over 80 P4 it is. Just like the Warlock and Grandpas Toy in P4. Otherwise we wind up with a bunch of breakouts. Not what we want. Anyone has a question what class to run, give us a call. Smitty

Re: OPA list
 

Jim

Did you find a driver ???????????


Mike

Re: OPA list
 

Not a problem then Smitty. The newly re-riged Raylar open cockpit Pleasure/Race boat runs 74.99 MPH.

See you in Destin.

Re: OPA list
 

Really? I guess my GPS (like the Warlock) was broke in Vegas. No sandbagging Brian. You need to run your toys with the right Boys. Good luck in Destin.

Re: OPA list
 

We have been very careful with the class placements. All new teams racing in Destin . Bring spare numbers. We place you, you dont get to pick. And yes we run your boat. Smitty

Re: OPA list
 

is it time to go yet ?

Re: OPA list
 

Hope not. Still need to load up the 525's/ Junior is taking away my horsepower. Says 4 drives in one week is insane. Gonna be boring. SV should go back to #6's and BIG power. 525's are for kids. Turn those steps at 130. Yeehaa.

Re: OPA list
 

Jim give me a break! First of all you don't have a clue as to how fast I ran as you were running way off the pace with apparent engine problems. I was proped as you were for for average lap speed of 75. The 3 complete laps we ran before breaking down were run under that maximum average lap speed.

You did win that race right? What class should you be running?

We are rigged and proped for class 5 and welcome Smitty and Anthony to take her for a run when we get to town.

It's a funny thing I have similar concerns about other boats that we will be racing with in the class. I know that there are some pretty built power plants, far exceeding the output of our 525. Yet I know that Smitty and Anthony have done a great job inspecting and testing the boats so that they are set-up to run within the class limits.

With that said the only people that need to be concerned with our boat at this time are Smitty and Anthony and like I said they are welcome to run the crap out of it !

......................................... just no spinning it out for fun again :D Crazy bastards!

Re: OPA list
 

Ron;

Back to the subject of the list. There are two other POPRA boats that are expected to make the trip out to Destin. Both Class 4:

#428 Music Giants
#433 Sea Flash

I hope to hear from some others.

If Anybody Needs A Driver Or Throttle Man I Can Be There 631 697 0857 John

Re: OPA list
 

Hey Brian,

I added those two boats, thanks.

Everyone racing with OPA/POPRA in Destin needs to have the proper GPS tracking unit on board. Please go to www.oparacing.com and click the GPS link for full instructions on how to order and how to install properly.

OPA doesn't use average speed, we use exact speed. In fact, these units allow us to read your exact speed every three second throughout the entire race. So if your class tops out at 75mph, you can never exceed that speed, anywhere on the course.

These units also allow us to see GPS spikes and omit them, like the boat that came in with a speed of 423mph in St Clair. We could see the error and throw it out. He never broke out of his bracket. These units have worked really well, as long as you install them properly and turn them on before the race starts. Call Harold, he'll hook you up.

Re: OPA list
 

class 5 68 ready, can't wait

Re: OPA list
 

no outside border required? Smitty can you post your prop calc formula so it is clear for everyone? I am getting anxious :D

Re: OPA list
 

That looks great Eddie. A border around the numbers
would be nice.

Re: OPA list
 

i have my reservations and will be arriving Wednesday AM and am flying out Monday...if anyone needs a wheel or throttleman please lemme know

Swoosh Boarders as before in the foreground, I spoke to soon, getting ahead of myself, it will look more like this, #'s are huge

Re: OPA list
 

The boat does look good with the flag!!! Cherish the memory it will be your last when you are racing Typhoon!!!!!

Re: OPA list
 

Ron, add Mini Me to the P4 class and JEM to P1 and the Cubans boat to P6. :evilb:
MD

Re: OPA list
 

With 42 boats on the list now in OPA I bet we break the 50 mark and get close to 60 boats!
MD

Re: OPA list
 

Not sure if Jem can prop down for P1. He runs on our PX class which we aren't offering in Destin since OSS runs that class.

Re: OPA list
 

JC - I still don't see your name on the list.

Cubans have been added - Smoke em if ya got em.

Re: OPA list
 

JC needs to bring the Activator.....

I'm heading to Destin in the morning for 2 days.....

I have to place some obstacle's underwater so they will take out the competition...

Looking forward to checking things out...
