AOF!!! Pineville, LA!!! ...Game On.
What's up everyone? This weekend will hopefully be a stepping stone to help get AOF headed back into the right direction. Everyone is pretty excited at the lake about the race. The turn out is more than likely going to be pretty low... But, things must start small before they can grow. Or in this case... re-start. Coming from a mostly NBRA racing background. I am super excited to see AOF trying to make a comeback. We are here to race. We have raced numerous AOF, NBRA, and APBA races. All we want to do is race. If this is opening a new door to have more races... then we are really hoping that our participation this weekend will help the growth. Me and my family try to stay out of the politics as much as possible. Politics are the entire reason that boat racing in certain areas began to struggle. (The economy doesn't help too much either... But you understand where I am going with this) Although our hopes of each organization/federation coming together to work for the better of boat racing will only go so far, I do hope that everyone who is charge within each racing group will do EVERYthing in their power to make things work between each other. What ever "give and take" that needs to take place. Try it out. I know I will get a reply that things have been tried and have failed or whatever... But since when have boat racers given up? When you come out of the first turn and can see first place right in front of you... do you stop trying to catch them and just let them walk away and take the victory? Or do you push yourself AND you're rig to be the one who crosses the line before them? We all need to work together to make a win not for any of the organizations but for the sport of boat racing. I encourage you to make any race that is possible for you to make. We have had a lot of projects that has limited our racing over the past few years. But if there is a race anywhere around within our affordable driving distance... whether it is an NBRA event, a AOF event, or an APBA event. We will be there. We are going to do out part to help the sport the best way we can. We race and that is it. I do not care what memberships I own... I am ONLY a boat racer.
Anyways, back on subject for the race this weekend. I am going to try and get on and leave as much info about results and such as I can. Hope to see some more of you guys this weekend. Lets have fun!!! Im stoked for this.
P.S. I am soo sorry for the rant. Today we had a LOT of sitting and talking with racers about racing in general. It kind of lit a fire in me to speak out about how I feel about racing. Hopefully it may inspire some people to try new paths and lets see where we can take racing. So with that being said. Don't bash me too hard... if you dont agree with anything i said above or if I am speaking above my knowledge. But I am young and dumb... and sadly, I am pretty proud of it. Lol. Have a good day/night guys and gals.
