Another GREAT move OPA!

Hope this really helps the turn out!

Mighty Macs will be there

This is a great opportunity to bring boats out for the Orange Beach race. I was hoping for an special like this at Solomans. I just paid all the costs to race 1 race in Solomans Island and it was a great experience. If this was a Visa commercial: $1000 for OPA Boat registration; $300 for OPA membership for my son and I; cost of hotel & travel $400 ;The opportunity to race with the great people at OPA was "priceless". I got a great lesson on how to hold your line through turn 1. ;-)

Well that sucks!!!! Thanks Ron

It was great having you in class 6. Hope to see you back next year!

Glad you gave it a try an came out to have fun with us!! Nice having you in our class for sure! If you ever need anything feel free to contact me.

Thanks ! Everyone was very helpful. The Joker boats are one well built boat. This payout just to race Orange Beach has me thinking I can't wait all Winter to race again. Good thing I rebuilt my trailer last winter.

And we race twice in Orange Beach. Friday and Sunday. If you haven't been to the Redneck Riviara, you haven't lived. Just the party alone at the Florabama is worth the trip.
