Offshore Super Series is proud to be a part of another racing weekend in our "hometown" on the Gulf Coast, next weekend from April 26 to 29.
It will be a full weekend meeting old and new members of the racing family and honoring Joey Gratton. His family Blake and Brock will be racing on Saturday and Sunday while Priscilla will be assisting OSS staff.
All OSS racers should be thinking about their unique opportunity to nominate a fellow racer for the annual Randy Linebach Lighthouse Award dedicated to sportsmanship in racing.
During the American Power Boat Association and Union Internationale Motonautique sanctioned Kilo Run on April 28 everybody participant will have a chance to win the $50,000 prize purse and an incredible $30,000 tow incentive for the first thirty boats that register to race OSS, receiving $1,000 each.
OSS welcomes back Greg Bent from www.bentmarine.com, which is the Gulf Coast's largest dealer in sales and service of performance boats. Bent will be bringing in three boats that will be used as pace boats.
Also taking place on April 28 will be The Biloxi poker run coordinated by Stu Jones and the Florida Powerboat Club team, www.flpowerboat.com. Please go to the official website www.smokinthesound.com to register for the run and see the course.
Race officials and staff are thrilled to be working with the VA Gulf Coast Health Care System to bring a race team to our vets that are on property as well as hosting them to view the race. OSS racer, Naval Air Traffic Controller Second Class Josh Lamirito, will be assisting staff for the weekend and working with our veterans.
