AOF Announcement
AOF is again pleased to bring the drag boaters the AOF Drag Boat Nationals in Eustis, FL April 16-18. We had this planned last year before the many hurricanes forced us to cancel.
AOF was incorporated in 1971 with drag boats as a division. For some reason we lost each other for a long while. The last few years we have been picking up a drag race here and there to add to our venue of kneel downs.
It is exciting that we have now officially incorporated the drag racing division back into our Federation.
I want to thank everyone for their help in making this happen. Hats off to all of ODBA who encouraged us to have a grass roots racing venue for all of you.
AOF can keep your memberships down and your sanctions affordable for putting on races. Hopefully we can bring the unincorporated river racers into a program that sponship is not needed but where they can gain some national recognition. This is a good step to moving up and over to ODBA racing, or just providing a little more protection with insurance if racers want to stay where they are at.
AOF will also be keeping national points and an AOF High points winner will be crowned at the end of the season. (I will need help with point keeping, as it has been since the nationals in Independence, Iowa that I did any drag scoring ). We will be adding drag boats to our new website that is still under construction at:
http://aofraces.com. Check back frequently for AOF drag boat news.
If you have any questions, want to help with the drag boat division of AOF, or wnt to yell at me, email me at
executivedirector@aofraces.com
Thanks so much for making this a reality.
And ps, I personally want to thank ODBA for changing thier date. What a great bunch of people you drag boaters are!

Bill,
Thank you for sending. Unfortnately I live in the middle of IowaCorn and have no speedy internet service because it dosn't exist here yet. It was taking forever to download. Could you please send the pics to our webmaster at:
webmaster@aofraces.com
We will beworking on the drag section this week end.
ANYONE who has news about the drag boats, pics, etc are encouraged to send to our webmaster.
I am now thinking maybe the drag boat division of AOF should have a sexy or colorful name. I would offer a free yearly membership to a drag boater who comes up with the best name for your new division. X rated not permitted, although if you send to me privately, I am sure I will get a good laugh.
My vote would be the AOF Scream and Fly Drag Division. What is yours?
