I would so set this up, than show up to screw everyone over..

Lol..slick rick what you up to this year?? Running 5 or 6?

What does it say on the trophy, "OPA National Champions", or "OPA Champions of the Northeast United States, and maybe a couple in Michigan"?

LOTO will become one of the best race sites on the schedule as long as the boat count continues to rise. Plenty of water and LOTS of spectators both on shore and in boats cheering each one of you on. I understand that it is a looong trek for many of you, but the ones that show up will be greatly appreciated.

I will tell you when we came to loto for the shoot out we were treated like rock stars the people on the raft off we off the hook cheering like made men very cool

Lots of valid points on all sides here. But bottom line is opa is struggling just like many other organizations and businesses are and sometimes we all need to be a little flexible. It's not always easy it's not always completely even and it's not always fair, but I believe some decisions are made with good intentions and bad results.
Just my humble opinion

Very true, we were there too, it was awesome!
