Default Racing update 2019

With our first race only 5 weeks away the teams of OPA canopied single 525 have upped there game. For starters we have given the class a refreshed name to clearly explain who we are. We have all agreed and chosen "Pro Stock Vee" SVL was fine when there was competing 525 spec canopy singles and twins. We all agreed this is much closer to what we are running. Its been a great winter for the teams in this class with a group text will all the teams. We have all bonded with helping each other, joking, family, planning and just good clean fun with people that think the same way. We have chosen to run the Merc 525 because of reliability, drive life and the proven history. Our specs are simple, easy to follow and are posted on the OPA web site. What has gotten us so excited is the number of teams that this class has now. It seem the growth potential is back. We are all looking forward to Cocoa beach and this is the committed race teams that as of now will attend in our class!
1. Typhoon
2. Done Deal
3. Woah Mama
4. Show Time
5. Phase 5
6. R&S
7.Tug It
8. Sthil
9. Nobody's Business
10. Wazzs Up
11. LSB
There are a couple other boats that could be added.
Now if that list doesn't get you excited and thinking the future of the class is outstanding I cant help you.

I'm looking forward to the Point Pleasant race. I enjoy the 5, 6, 7, and SVL classes the most.
