America is the land of opportunities and we love it. Happy 4th of July.
The plan is to check out all the 50 states again.

Another fact is OMC did run the very successful F1-V8 series for nine years.

About the same time this ad was run, OMC attempted to market a complete turn-key Sport E OPC racing package (Boat,motor,trailer,etc) using Jeff Brown (USA Sport E Champion)as their poster guy. I think the package was based on the same boat-motor set-ups (Seebold / Evinrude) they used for the Bill Muncey Invitational at Miami. Jeff Brown left OPC racing to try his hand at car racing. Never heard anything about Brown after that. What happened to Jeff Brown?
