Randy,

I gave you an option but you overlooked it and you can be the hero within the organization that brings it up at the meeting. I wont tell anyone that I suggested it to you. I apologize that your getting jumped on, but I have seen you flying the flag for so long and anyone that goes against the almighty OSS, you have trashed, so I for one thought thats where you were coming from. Cant you see that the leaders in this sport have had enough of the BS and seperation and are running with all clubs and the sanctioning body that the country has to offer. One reason, to better the sport.

Mr Haggin, Mr Bull and the others are leading by example and I for one will do my best to support them in their endeavors. Anytime you want to start and run your own club by all means do so, but until then you guys have entrusted Smitty to make the best decisions that benefits OPA. When you can do half the job that he has to better the sport, we will all support you.

Trent

PS According to the OSS website there are currently 8 classes of boats and with the addition of the 850 class that will bring the total to 9

Thanks Trent but what does any of that have to do with sticking to the classes that we already have? My suggestion would be put them in with the existing PX class. Not more classes. Whats next Turbine,SVL,SV,SCL,Single Out board,Jersey skiff. where does it end in a regional run what you brung group of guys. Should we add the 15 classes that SBI has as well? We run our SVL in P4 and have a blast. Maybe we should ask the 750 guys if they dont mind running in the PX class until they have 5 or more boats. I will take it one step further guys, If you dont have 5 boats in a class then then that class gets moved up to the next class until you can field at least 5 boats. Build boats for classes not classes for boats! Smitty has done a great job and I could never fill half his shoes and I am not trying to Trent. Just making suggestions.
PS You dont even race with OPA!!!

Trent I sure hope they send you up here to race some with OPA! We may not agree on much these days but as racers Im sure we could have some fun on the course.
MD

Probably the best chance for you 2 to meet up will be in New York...
There could be a joint race there now couldn't there be?

I want Trent in the ocean (Point Pleasant or Ocean City) Time to man up son!
MD

I Was Fine With The Rules That Were InPlace Until 2006 But Then Everyone Was Crying To Start A P6 Class,
So The F1 Guys Had A Place To Run
That Would HAve Giving Us 5 Classes Still To This Day, With A Px Boat Showing Up Once And A While
I Think The SuperCat Guys Running With Us Is Awesome, They Will Bring Alot To The Table

Ted I wasnt quiet think that way. Trent I hope you dont mind the bottom.
MD

Chris, just one question. Do you feel you cant hang with a F1 boat at 75 MPH? I dont care what class you race in as I have stated before. You are a perfectly legal P6 boat in my book. If you want more of a challenge its your call to move up. Dont take all the BS so hard. You are a racer at hart like most of us and want to do the best you can. I will see you on Sat.
