Welcome everyone to the 2008 OPA racing season. This season is going to be the best so far as we have many new teams joining us for the first time. We are looking forward to the new Supercat and the Cat Lite classes that we have added to OPA racing this year. OPA has a Geico sponsored 3 racsite series called the "The Miss Geico Triple Crown". The first Triple Crown race is Ocean City, Maryland, the second Triple Crown race is Patchogue, NY, and the final race will be in Point Pleasant, NJ. OPA will be distributing the Triple Crown prize purse (still building) to ALL classes in OPA at the end of the Point race. OPA will be paying out purses to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places only in each of the 8 classes. This will be determined by points accumulation for all three races. Trophies will be disbursed at this time for Triple Crown winners. We will make available the standings on each and every boat that participates in the Triple Crown series. You MUST show up to ALL of the Triple Crown races in order to be part of the Triple Crown prize purse!. Get the boat there since there are no entry fees! No exceptions!
For the rest of the OPA races there will be a prize purse (also still building) at each race along with trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in all of the 8 classes of OPA. We look forward to seeing everyone this year and the best thing is NO ENTRY FEES! By now, all of the race packets have been mailed out to the Equipment Registration Owners and we expect them to be mailed back as soon as possible so that we can have our database updated ahead of time and have collected the registration fees before hand. If you are missing any forms, you can download them at this website under 2008 OPA Racing Forms. One registration fee per boat at $700.00 each and $150.00 fee for each OPA member. This OPA member fee will cover access to the hot pits along with the dry pits. We will be securing the wet pits area this year and only the paid OPA members will be allowed to get into the wetpits. This is an insurance liability issue and there will be no exceptions this year. If you don't have the hot pits wristband then you don't get in!
We will be using ATTI GPS units again this year except we will be asking everyone that needs to still buy one to buy the new wireless GPS unit for $500.00 which includes shipping. They need to be ordered now so that you will have it in time for the first race in Ocean City, Maryland. These wireless unit will be permanently mounted in your boat and we will allow this year a backup unit ONLY if the primary unit fails. If you already own a J2 tracker unit now, you can use it but expect to upgrade to the wireless by next race season. Look at the GPS Tracking Units tab on this website for all of the pertinent information on GPS'. ALL GPS' will be wired to the boat ignition this year! No Batteries are needed if you get this cable from ATTI. Pricing and GPS information is on the tab in this website. The wireless unit will automatically download your data within a half mile so you no longer have to pull the unit out if the boat. If you own a J2 tracker unit already, then you will have to pull it out of the boat and bring to the GPS trailer which Frank Vecce will have at all race sites this season.
