This event should be one for the books if everyone pulls together. Its a OSS/P1 event. There will be more Outboards built by then for a larger class. Location wise it should pull other SVL and SV boats. Along with the pro Am boats. Cant wait.

The fans there are some on the best they are awesome. Have fun guys, good luck and be safe. I know we will miss racing there this yr, it was always one of our favorites.
Come on Frank, I dont think it conflicts with any of your SBI races. I would think that Marks boat would kick a$$ on a short course with lots of turns. Top end has nothing to do with the courses we are running now. We have all worked on making our boats faster in a straight line and now fast doesnt count for $hit. Its about turning! 5 laps in 5 heats means a min. of 100 turns per weekend. Now if they use some of the other courses with dog legs or S turns than its even more. It has been very close racing so far.

Nice shots Pete!!!
Awesome pics Pete .
Thanks Pete! Hope you can make it this year, if you are back stateside.
Randy our full course is a "boomerang" shaped course and offers a little bit of everything from flat, to chop, to swell, etc. depending on weather and tides! I will get it posted asap...my laptop crashed and I list everything, but I am up and running now, just need to download, update, and back up my files!

When is More Head ???
Ryan Beckley should have a couple of them.
Very cool, I know he is planning to be here last I heard.
If you guys are racing the same course becareful at the far end near the inlet in gets tricky
Here are a few from last year and 09.
Randy "E doesn't mean ENOUGH" Schluess I had a great time hanging buddy and hope I got you too your flight on time buddy!!!!!
Randy , what class do you run in ,oss or p-1 or are they as one ,,
I know he ran APBA in Detroit which is what P-1 falls under!!!!
OSS is SVL with there rules which are posted on there site. P1 is called SVS and use there rules posted on P1 web site. At the last race in Biloxi as a joint event both OSS and P1 ran at differant times so there was no conflict if you want to race with both org's. You would have to pay both reg. and equipment fee's to both if you wanted to race with both. At this time I have no idea what the reg fees or purse is for either org. Please call Martin and Mike if you need further info.

So what happened to racing offshore boat in rough water? Lake racing was bad enough. This short track racing Is kinda like taking a Trophy Truck and racing it on a Go Kart track. I guess I don't understand the point. Oh its for the fans. Talk of all the spin-outs sounds kinda expensive, so when the drives start snapping off and, the boats look like they have been in a crash up derby great. I don't ever recall a fan saying that was awesome heres $12,000 to fix your boat.
600, Its easy. My cost have always been less than my expences. Martin has been very good to all the teams.
Don't let the fact that we run in the sound fool you! Yes, there are times when it may be slick calm, but with winds, tides, ground swell coming through the inlet, and traffic it can turn into a washing machine! I have no personal knowledge regarding the match racing course, but ours will will run along the port wall creating a new challenge with this format regarding water conditions! No we don't have the huge swell or big seas, but it is NO lake out there!
The first yr we raced there it was dead calm, but the next yr it was tricky and the area near the inlet was a bitch. Besafe guys and make sure you run one full lap before u hang it out to much u might get a suprise.
Great talking with you Scott, look forward to having Team Purrrrfect here!

Here is the race cousre...on the right is Morehead City with the NC port being the area coming out of Turn 3. We have traditionally run this course in a counter-clockwise rotation.
Mr. Jones ,,what is the total length of a lap ,,?
Any views of the dry pits? Maybe google earth or something like that and where is a ramp to launch if any...... Thanks again
I would guess there might be 2 courses set up. One long and one short. Just thinking out loud.
Scott are you going to park next to us again? You guy's just arent right!
