Holy crap what a dynamite weekend!

Those OPA guys do it up right. Had a great time on the island - gotta say a big thank you to Smitty and Louie and all the folks responsible for helping to make this event a total blast- from the street party, to the Jersey Skiffs and Garvey races, and, of course, the main event. I thoroughly enjoyed myself all weekend. Everything went like clockwork.

Enjoyed meeting all the new faces and seeing old friends again. Bruce, Mikey, Dee, Dawn, Dave, Jimmy, et al... and to finally meet Shaun K in person.

Got a few pix I want to share from the weekend.

And a few more...

Thanks for the nice comments, everyone.

More pix from the weekend are here.

Since these never got published, I have a bunch of shots as yet unseen from the race, so I will try to get some of the better ones up in this thread.

I'm looking forward to attending some of the OPA events this year- those guys do it right!

These four are copied over from the new pix thread.
