Welcome all racers and fans to the new 2010 OPA racing season, the first stop of the “2010 OPA Offshore Racing Series Hosted by Geico”. We are excited by all of the new teams that will be joining us this year for our 7 race series plus our very own worlds race in Orange Beach, Alabama. We are expecting large boat counts this year as it will prove to be one of the best power boat years of the century. The first stop of our series is Ocean City, Maryland on Memorial Day weekend which is May 28th-30th. All of the racers must send in the attached form to Sunset Marina so that they know what size boats will be on their property and what rigs there will be onsite. We are doing a shuttle again this year from the parking lot on the side of Sunset marina. All cars will be expected to park there and take the golf cart shuttle to the dry pits. Also attached is the Ocean City Schedule of Events for the weekend. All registration paperwork should be mailed out to OPA PO Box as instructed on the OPA website, so that all of the racers won’t have to wait hours in line. Go to www.oparacing.org and go to forms page for all of the information. Those of you that were mailed the forms must send back the paperwork. Anyone registering that is not a new boat this year will be charged a $100 penalty fee if you show up in person with the paperwork. This will help alleviate the registrars from being overwhelmed like they were last year. You must also visit the OPA website for GPS information. Anyone with an old J2 tracking unit will be grandfathered in. We also will have Lifeline safety equipment at a special OPA rate and you must call Lifeline for the trade in, Trade up program that he is offering. All lifejackets will need to be within a 3 year certification. Also, Lifeline is offering a special on full face helmets, Extra Large only, at $200 each. We would also like to thank Supercat Racing for their support of the OPA and look forward to all of their live video feeds of the OPA circuit this year. You can visit www.supercatracing.com for the new look. Please be sure to go to OPA website to see the dates of all of the 2010 races this year. We look forward to seeing everyone this season and thank you for your support. Regards, OPA
