After seeing all the trash talking about other Orgs and how they were doing it wrong since the end of 2003 and the boycott, I hope a lession was learned not to throw mud around and trash talk other orgs..because I would have never guess SBI/APBA and OSS would join forces after the way the trashing was..
The good thing is that there are Orgs that are letting by gones be just that...and forgive and forget and join together for the better of the sport..
I hope we will not soon forget what the boycott of APBA LLC had done to our sport...
Thanks OPA for taking the tourch with a small Org and having it grow year after year to were it is today and the bright furture ahead of it. For the TV for our sport APBA LLC had the best TV in promoting our sport and I was glad to have the chance to be part of it...
Lets remember...Money has never just flowed in for TV..In APBA it was Mike A, Steve M, Nimshaw(I know I spelled it wrong) and others that put up a lot of there own money to make that happend, and today thanks to OPA, Haggin, Gieco and others we have that chance again today.
We are very lucking to have another shot at what we had years ago, 2 national Orgs, and POPRA on the West coast. Both national Orgs have open there doors to racers and have made it more affordable to race both Orgs.
And with that the 2010 season looks to be a very positive and a great season lies ahead
I'm looking forward to it...

And to think seven years ago Smitty said come on, I'll be The President of OPA and you be the Vice-President, it'll be fun! I spend more time on OPA business than I do on my own. I know Smitty and Louie The Rigger do too! THANKS SMITTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!But I love what we're doing and I love our Teams. Oh, you too Haggin. Deardevil, F U !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Augie....I agree...OPA is just not a one man job...the time, effert and man hours put into getting OPA were it is today in mind blowing and to think this is not your real jobs...but its still a second full job...and its sure is not for the money....but the love of the sport and the racers, crew and people that come along with it.....I think as racers the next time we have a bit$h or complaint and want to take it out on the OPA staff....maybe we should take a deep breath and be very fotunate for what we have....
With a lot of OPA staff members donating there time, from the registation staff to Frank and many others...they sure put up with a lot of us and do it with a smile...
I for one was guilty of this when I raced in APBA...Mike A, Pop and others had to put up with my mouth over those years instead of lending a hand....Last edited by MANITIE; 02-27-2010 at 01:02 PM.

Thanks Gino but Smitty has really held up the fort with Louie and the rest of the nutz while they were tearing my chest open and I'm just glad to be here able to give Smitty, Louie and the teams my all this year. Plus it's always a plus to be able to bounce things off of Mike A., not bullets, baseball bats or knives just offshore racing stuff. Thanks Mike.
