Boy did the OPT guys blow it when they didn't take Eike's offer to bring Offshore racing up to a professional multi national SPONSORED sport.

Eike had an $8 million dollar offer on the table for annual sponsorship and the "big shots" said no.....citing some nonsense about giving up their "independence".

As the song says:

"How do you like me now?"

You can't make this stuff up......

I remember those OPT days well, Eike's offer was the hot topic at the 1991 OPT race in Manhattan.

and everywhere else.......

The boat used to be here on Lanier, now it's sitting in a warehouse not too far away

Here is Eike's other boat... Boat is located in NC with Sterling Motors.

The Amazon is still alive and well.
