    When was the APBA OPC Catagory created? Where have the nationals been held over the years? (Eufaula, Kankakee, etc)

    Around 1960 OPC was created because the number of "Special Events" pleasure boat races was increasing every year and each event's rules were different as devised by the individual promoter/race organizer.

    The first official OPC event under the OPC Division rules was at Lake X.

    The division rules were basicially written by Strang.

    Must have been shortly after the Lake X race that an OPC race was held on Lake Toho Fl, near Kissimmee. I am not sure if it was APBA or NOA?
