I have to hand it to you guys. First year of racing, you took on one of the roughest races we have seen in a while. Great shot of you guys going out the inlet. Glad you decided to race OPA. See you in february. Smitty

OPA Family!
Jim and I were just talking the other day about all the other racing org's and how people call us to try and get us to come race their org rather than OPA. After building a new boat in 2011 and being with everyone in Orange Beach, I dont think there is another racing orginization that we want to be part of!!! The way we all got along and hungout and helped each other and came together when needed was trully a site to be had! Im proud to be a part of OPA and I concider each and everyone of you "Family". I didnt see or hear of any drama in the pits, everyone was lending tools, parts, weight, anything to keep each other on the water! You can sure tell where everyones passion is, its in these boats and on the water!
If there is ever anything I can do for our new family, call! Thanks to everyone for a great season and we hope to see everyone next. Thanks again!!!

Your one of those who are in a category with some of the nicest racers I've met. You are a racer, promoter, positive thinking, friendly to all and a great ambassador to the sport. As a race fan I have enjoyed watching you race over the years and what a year you had this year. Looking forward to seeing you racing in 2012.

I was watching the 2010 OPA Worlds Championship video from Orange Beach and they were interviewing Smitty, yourself and Anthony. I remember Anthony saying that "They don't give them away, you've got to earn it." Louie you don't need a bigger hat my friend, you have earned it.
