    Well with that plan, I bet we can get an entire team of dreamers assembled. We could call it "Team MPO" for short! Heck, we even have a Captain in a figurative sense, even if we aren't going to let him drive anything more than his own two feet down the stair well in express mode. Sally Struthers would look awesome sprawled all over the side of the boat, too. I'm talking pre-Meathead days, of course! I like the whole concept!

    I'll have my people talk to her people about sponsorship! Backup plan is Lindsay Logan (pre-crystal meth days).

    Need the Miami contingent to start working on Cat and Cummins to see who will cough up some free motors. Stan has bought enough drives recently that he probably has a couple spare Arnesons in the shed.

    Tito's Vodka is interested in sponsoring the pit festivities.

    It's all coming together!!

    OK, the PBR puts you on the team!

    I've got an idea percolating for the mother ship for NY Harbor. It's about 60', 1271s, aluminum hull. And stripper poles. Where do we find something like that?

    Boom.....right here.....in a real metal boat. Not like those space ship looking cruisers they are building today out of Tupperware!

    i feel a team meeting for Team MPO coming on.....and yes, Titos will sponsor!

    Basically we we will let the Hydro's and Cats play in the lakes, we will take the big V's out with the bad boys!

    Team MPO is going to have a meeting. Hedge is sponsoring offshore races at The Gorge. At least as long as it does not get over 6" of chop. Team MPO will enter a canopied Allison and we will spank those non-pad Donzi's!

    you should be able to schedule the *event* between the Edsel and Studebaker reunions.. so the leftover and dry rotted wide whites can be used as turn markers

    I am outclassed with you guys on this OFFshore racing stuff. I have ridden in, not driven, triple digits on water, but not out of the sight of land.

    So, have at it here and know you have readers that are all eyes. It is an interesting read.

    My contribution within this post... I pat myself on the back for starting it. The board has been kind of quiet, lately, in my view.

    The fastest I have driven a boat (vee bottom) on Lake Hopatcong is about 67 MPH.

    I intend to go Sat overnight and be there Sunday, so here is my cell number if you are going to and want to catch up. Chris (seabuddy) Brown 518-281-0045.

    Default Titos has signed up...

    I am proud to announce that the first sponsor of Team MPO Racing is Tito's Vodka. With this foundation, the MPO team should be able to build quite the offshore racing team concept...

    Thinking the team motto should be "Go big, or don't go at all!"

    I know, it's a rough crowd here! All joking aside, enjoy the race. You will see some neat power.

    Now I am off to deal with this Roadtrip Guy!

    Love it! I think it is a great concept. May have to add a few extra bolsters!

    BTW, I already have the Tito's emblems for the rafting helmets. I will get more for team MPO!

    sooo, is it MPO or PMO?

    and, what does that stand for again?
