This just in from OPA Medical and Safety....
Do to the likelyhood of big air running Ocean City in October, all non-canopy boats will require parachutes be worn in addition to life vests. White will be an acceptable color, but bright colors are preferred as they will look better on television.

Live din Portland area for 37 years. I've gone over the bar when the Coast Guard said 40+ footers....(Lucky to have made it)
Are you from there?
No...just talked to some C.G. guys that ran boats out there...they said it is sick...but the best place to train

Two words....Grand Haven!
As much as i HATE their noise ordinances on a typical wkend they totally openend their doors for the Smoke on the Water poker run and the APBA races back in the day.
Make it happen! Lake Michigan can can get HUGE out there, nice public beach, plenty of dock space and hotel rooms, fun bars...ok maybe a bit cold in Oct
Its a Coast Guard town too so maybe Gino could work his magic. If not this year, keep it in mind for a future race site.

Guy's...and ladies, the good people of Lake Of The Ozarks, Mo have been in talks with us at OPA and they are trying to fit us in for a Worlds on short notice. I think they would like to hear "Thanks" Maybe? Everyone wants to race an ocean race in October until an Iceberg comes floating by...Remember, we had a beautiful site...Orange Beach, Al.,they now have oil floating in the Gulf where you would be racing! Don't think so, OPA's first concern is your safety. Just a thought, these people are trying for "You"! Most don't realize what it takes to put on an event, and in short notice, how much bull$hit ya gotta listen to and there is ALWAYS someone who knows more that you and what your doing. Ask anyone who puts on an event, whether it's a race or poker run... so in closing all I gotta say is We, "OPA" called them, to help put on a race for "You".
