Hey guys ,
New motor, new XR drive , new blueprinted bottom(second time Ive had the bottom blueprinted), and new mortgage to pay for it !
My wife and I will be racing OPA P4 again this year. It sure would be great to see a few superboat fans ! OPA races are all within a few hours of long Island and there will be a race on the long Island sound this year. OPA is very informal and friendly, a day at the races can be a blast and all including kids are welcome ! If anybody wants we often have pre race party tickets left over and would gladly give them out first come first serve , I have no crew besides Jessie(my wife) and sometimes my kids so I kinda do it all myself , come and give a hand! Maybe a shirt in trade for a hand in the dry pits!

Jim sounds like you have it done right. Your enjoying yourself doing want you like and with the family to boot! If I were closer I'd throw in a hand ...but I'm a little too far away.
Be safe and enjoy the season.

Cambridge is Sept 25-26.

Pat McPherson 03-29-2004 11:37 AM

Hey Bodyshot1,
Is there a location decided for the August 28 race?

jcap 03-29-2004 06:38 PM

Hey Zup,
Cambridge was an amazing site , its worth the ride , the hotel was brand new ,beautiful , great marina, several good restaurants reasonable and great for kids! It is a long ride (took me 6 hours pulling the boat).
The jersey races are just 2 hours from long island, and they put on a great show. The racing is close to shore and the boardwalk is a good vantage point and lots for the wife and kids to do if they got bored!
We are going to try and make the south shore run with the fountain gang , boats running good but still lots of bugs to work out,

Superfest ? whos talking superfest? I have to redeem myself!

Hmmmmm, as I recall there was a handsome devil cut out of the side of that picture :D Jim, glad to hear you are ready to roll, this year is gonna be great for the OPA. Thanks for the good word about Cambridge, we plan on doing it bigger and better this year. Can't wait to have you back. If there is anything you need, feel free to contact me direct and we'll hook you up. I might even be able to scare up a couple of guys to keep the wife safe from all the Eastern shore guys while you're wrenchin on the boat:p

Good luck in the coming year-it's coming up fast.

tripps 03-29-2004 08:08 PM

Hey Inspect,did you get that cougar from Michigan?? If so how's it comin? Tripps

Ted G 03-29-2004 08:18 PM

Yeah, we got it. Right now the transom work is done but it has been put on hold since we are building a new shop(twice as big) so we are waiting for paint and rigging after the new shop is done. The permit process kicked our a$$ to build this thing- I mean why should the county want a business to expand and make more money-right???


Soon, very soon:cool:

tripps 03-29-2004 08:31 PM

Yeah the towns s--k don't they,But just think,that boat will be great!! Tripps
