Countdown to Ocean City OPA

[Chris]

The OPA opener at Ocean City is one week away. I'm going to attempt to consolidate everything into one thread so everyone going can see what's going on.

First off, lots of SeriousOffshore members will be there for the weekend. Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen. ;)

Here's the official OPA schedule of events for the weekend-

There's pretty much everything you'll need to know about what official events are going on.

The Commander Hotel will be the official SO.com base of operations for the weekend. We'll kick off our official festivities at the Seacrets party starting at 7PM Friday. http://www.seacrets.com/

Here are the various threads on the race and events, plus the "who's coming"...

I'll bring some shirts. I'm going to bring the t-shirt cannon too.

[SHARKEY-IMAGES]

SHARKEY-IMAGES will be there to cover the event.

The images will be brought to new heights this season. ;)

After 2 years of recalls, the Pro Camera is now fixed !!!

With new equipment and powerful programs, I am sure you all will see a huge difference in the images.

The shots of the 40 Nor-Tech as one example.

Nor-Tech like the images so much that one of them is already headed to a magazine. Thank you Terry! :sifone:

Will be there tomorrow morning. If you see an old guy with a P70 Boardwalk Racing or Pennzoil shirt on its me!! Raced from 87 to around 2001. I'am at 39 st and the beach. I'll be the guy on the beach yelling at the 4 dogs 3 goldens and 1 rat dog.

[MarylandMark]

What better place to bring the party but OC ?:biggrinjester:

That is exactly what I said!!!!

The good news is my eye will be back to normal color and the swelling should go down before our party this weekend...

I got my feet and fingers dolled up last night- ready to rock my new flip flops!!

I had to fire the 1st girl- she didn't know filing should only go one way or it weakens the nail!

[Sammyb713]

Leaving in 12:00 tomorrow! See everyone there!

See what happens when you don't take my advice about marriage.... hell your not even married yet and your already bailing on your brothers to go to the foofoo spa. By this time next year you will be a Vegan, and boating will consist of a rowboat (made of 100% post consumer recycled material) with nerf oars, so if one accidently hits a fish it will not cause damage. The only advice I can give you is "Run Forrest, RUN!!!!!"

[MarylandMark]

LOL Phragle!!!

I've don't go to "races" so didn't even think about it when they asked about dates for the party. This is actually the 1st year I've wanted to go to OC- to party/meet SOS'ers more so than the "races".
