That just happened today? A couple of days before the race?

Were all of the SVL's already committed? I know some were.

There could not have been a class vote about it. Nobody called, or sent our team any information about any vote. I guess its the politics of racing.

It doesn't seem to effect your class. It states that SVL Class it will be an OSS points race in Patchogue.

Not sure why suddenly the other classes voted to not make the Patchogue race one of their competing sites.
I thought I read Patchogue was replacing one of the other OSS races that was canceled earlier in the season.

Maybe they will consider the 40th Anniversary NJ Offshore Grand Prix in Pt Pleasant Beach, NJ for another Points race ? Afterall, it is just about in Ray's back yard.

That is unless the BIG WATER scares these BIG BOATS away......

Hey Guys, I would like to thank everyone that came to the Battle on the Bay, At Patchogue Village, Long Island, New York. Even with the threat of a hurricane we had a great turnout. The spirit of Offshore was really present, the crowds loved the action and we were blessed with a safe race.

Thanks, Louie "The Rigger"
