OPTIMA BATTERIES PRESS RELEASE

07/07/2011

​

We have kicked off the 2011 OPA racing season by handing out our first group of free Optima Batteries. We are going to hand out free Optima Batteries at the next race site which will be in St Clair Michigan. The Optima Battery rig will be there and we need to know which style battery/s you will need and how many are used in your race boat before the St Clair race. Listed below are the sizes and cranking amps of each battery offered. You will need to come to the registration room in the St Clair Inn and fill out battery paperwork before you can pick up your batteries. Anyone that does not show up to St Clair will have to get their batteries shipped to them once you are paid up OPA for the 2011 season. Please email AlanPetitt@oparacing.org to tell me which batteries you need and how many. Battery brackets are available at www.billetspecialties.com and only the D27M Optima battery bracket can be bought at any marine store. Please visit www.oparacing.org for any other powerboat racing information
