2 Offshore Races this weekend !!!
I have already started 2 photo albums for both these events happening this weekend.
SBI/APBA is in Ft Lauderdale, Fl
OSS is in Pickwick, Tn.
The albums can be viewed at http://www.SharkeyMarine.com under Photo Links.
Also if you would like to tune into "LIVE" coverage of the OSS race, log into:http://talkoffshore.com Check their website for the times.
If you miss it, they usually will have a link to a replay on the site.
I will add more photos as I receive them.....
Enjoy! :wink:

Well,

As you know, there are only so many weekends available during the boating months and on top of that, they try to put their events in conjunction with another event that is going on in the towns that they are racing.
Lauderdale has an Air Show this weekend and Pickwick has a huge Festival as well.

So you really can't put blame on anyone for this.

They are two different organizations and each will do what is best for them.

I understand that OSS has made several attempts at unity with SBI but negotiations failed.

On the bright side, OPA the "Perfromance Class" boats have come to terms with the OSS group and will run a few joint events together and finish the season off with a joint World Championship in Destin, Fla in November.

So at least two thirds or more of the race boats in the country will be in one place at the same time in November...

Hopefully one day they will all be under one organization again...
But when was the last time that happened??? :confused:
