rule changes and meeting 2013
Ok its getting near that time when every body has been sitting around all winter keyboard racing dreaming of ways to make things better. There will be talk about a meeting before the awards and some great ideas along with some complete nonsense will be discussed. And then in the end we will all agree to disagree yet once again and all show up to race and ***** and moan. I have an idea! We have class champions which if I'm correct are supposed to represent the entire class throughout the season?i think this would be a good time to try to get this started instead of the hundreds of people trying to get there individual points across to Smitty. I also think its time to put up or shut up as far as getting new race sites developed and promoted. I have no idea how to get a race site or run a race like most of us racing but maybe if somehow we could help Smitty and the rest of the staff in someway we could better our sport instead of just talking $hit about every decision made. My last thought before I'm thrown under the bus is opa needs to get all the teams better involved in the couple of series sponsors we have to get more and keep the ones we have. Like maybe something better then a 14 inch sticker on half the boats? How about getting everyone patches for shirts? Making promotional items like tents banners and such available at the race sights and more organized events at the race sites like the autograph sessions were we could showcase the sponsors and show other potential sponsors what a great sport offshore racing is and how awesome a partnership with opa would be.

IMO, I think we should have a time we all sit at a long table and sign hero cards. we did it in St. Clair 2 years ago and as I recall had a line of fans. Good tmes as I recall.

Something simple but at the same time important.Legal numbers on all race boats per specific class rules. All bracket class boats should be triple digit numbers.All spec class boats should be two digit numbers.
XTREME numbers 0-99 SUPER CAT numbers 0-99 SUPER CAT LIGHT numbers 0-99 SUPER VEE LIGHT numbers 0-99 CLASS 1 numbers 100-199 CLASS 2 numbers 200-299 CLASS 3 numbers 300-399 CLASS 4 numbers 400-499 CLASS 5 numbers 500-599 CLASS 6 numbers 600-699 |
Great post Mike!
Personally Id vote for a 39 foot limit in 4. If I were still in 5, Id vote for some kind of a HP restriction, like Jake and Mark mentioned in the other thread. That being said Ill be setting up band equipment why yall are hashing it out...so...pretty much whatever Jason goes for lol |
I agree with the autograph signing. It should be on Saturday at the same time each event. It is a great way to interact with our fans and build our fanbase. One of the keys to getting fans involved is to make ourselves as racers accessible to the fans. It also gives us an opportunity to represent our sponsors with hero cards, giveaways, sell team shirts, etc...
