So I am get to try something a bit different on the weekend of the 25, 26 27th of July.

I will be the driver of the 615 Sale N Buy at the OPA races in St Clair Mich. She is a 26 Velocity with a modified Merc racing 500, putting out 600 hp. This is a bracket class with a top speed limit of 70mph. All boats have a GPS and if you exceed the speed you get a time added to your race. Looks like T Boats but bigger!

Should be a fun weekend. Kind of going back to my roots. I grew up with a 27 power quest with a 500hp... and a 30 foot Eliminator with twin 575.

Jason, St. Clair is a great race. I have raced there 6-8 times. Just be careful in the turns, they can be tricky with the current in that river. Also watch your speed going with the current.
