New Member Classification

[Chris]

We're adding a new membership classification to our site-

Competitor

When we started building this site, we knew we wanted to be more inclusive and connected to the racing world than we had been previously. But the day-to-day of getting the thing running sort of pushed the effort to the side.

Now, racing season is upon us. It's time for us to get back to our original plan. We've been talking with Augie Pensa lately about how the site can get the word out to people about how they can become more involved with powerboat racing. Expect to hear more in the coming weeks about some exciting things that will be happening between SeriousOffshore, our members and the racing community, especially with OPA.

But for now, we're opening an entirely new category of membership- Competitor. If you're a racer, crew chief or owner, you qualify for one of these all-access memberships to the site at no cost. We'll be working in the next week to coordinate enrollment for this group. We'll be updating some existing members and enrolling new one's. And if you're already a Founder or Charter, you'll keep that staus as well as the new Competitor status.

For those of you that didn't know, Ted Ginnity is our Director of Competition here at the site. You'll be hearing much more from Ted in the coming weeks and through the '09 season.

Stay tuned- lots more to come.

Very cool Chris!

None of us would be here if a small bunch of guys hanging out in Miami didn't want to go faster than each other. And if you haven't been to the races lately, you're missing one of the best ways possible to spend a weekend.

Chris, Thank You. You are a man of your word. Dave, many Thanks for getting the ball started. Serious Offshore is going to be a GREAT site for all of us.

Cool idea, and you're right about the races. The few I've attended in the Detroit area have been a blast, even for some of my friends who aren't into boats like I am.

Great idea for recognition of the guys who made us what we are

We will continue to build upon what makes a great forum.

Racers are a key ingredient to make this one of the largest homes of hi performance boaters in the world !
