Race ideas for a new guy
 
Hi..I have purchased a ex-race boat that needs to be raced once again. I live in nj and am willing to travel to race around. Im 26yrs old and just bought myself a 29 Century (the old Turn of the Century B-16 boat) i want to race with the OPA and i need to know where to start. Right now the boat is powered by 2 blown small blocks and have just touched 100 on gps.

any help is appreciated

Check out OPA's web site www.oparacing.org
Looks like you would be in class 4. Call or stop by Smitty's marine in Brick NJ, 732 920-3945 By the way, Welcome! Where in NJ?

Watch the TV show this Sunday at 4pm on Versus and get a feel for what your missing.

Stop by Smitty's and say hello - behind the Pilot House on Rt 70 in Brick. Talk to him and get your questions answered.

Great news.What a cool boat.I remember the Turn of the Century racing in B-Class.This is one of the best things about the bracket classes in OPA;older race boats like yours can be competitive again.Look forward to meeting your team at the OPA party in Feb.

Rule# 1.......Never brag how fast your boat is (especially when gps / bracket racing is involved). OPA is the place to be.
