U-6 Oh Boy Oberto Beef Jerky Unlimited Hydroplane to Mid-Season High Point Leader


SEATTLE, WA (Aug 2, 2004)
 

Oh Boy! Oberto Beef Jerky, title sponsor of the U-6 Miss Madison Unlimited Hydroplane has Oh Boy! Oberto Hydroplanesundergone major modifications to be more competitive in the Unlimited Hydroplane Racing circuit.  Operating under a new Crew Chief, Mike Hanson, the revamped boat is operating at 5-6 MPH faster than last season and is sporting a new paint design.

For the first time in the history of the Oh Boy! Oberto sponsorship, the U-6 boat is leading in National High Points at mid-season.  To date, the U-6 Oh Boy! Oberto has placed second in
Madison, Detroit and Tri-Cities.  Driver Steve David is currently preparing for a win at the 2004 Chevrolet Cup at SEAFAIR.  “The U-6 team is more focused and driven to perform than ever before” says David, “This is a David and Goliath situation – once you have tasted the possibility of a national championship you put everything on the line to maintain it”.

Since 1975, Oh Boy! Oberto has been involved with Unlimited Hydroplane Racing in some shape or form.  To date, Oh Boy! Oberto has grown their reputation for having fun at racing events to a national scale.  “Race Fans love Beef Jerky - it is a natural fit with the sport” says Sports Marketing Technical Director Larry Oberto, “with the announcement of Budweiser’s retirement from the racing circuit and the current uncertainty of the direction of the sport, it is more important than ever have sponsors like Oh Boy! Oberto to help bring fans back to the water to watch the worlds fastest race boats”.

In addition to the Title Sponsorship of the U-6 Miss Madison, Oh Boy! Oberto will also sponsor the Pit Tour at SEAFAIR.  Fans can bring any Oh Boy! Oberto product wrapper (3.5 oz or larger) to the Chevrolet Cup at SEAFAIR and get a FREE TICKET for the Oh Boy! Oberto Pit Tour August 5th-7th. 

Oh Boy! Oberto invites race fans everywhere to attend the Chevrolet Cup at SEAFAIR and check out the new and improved Oh Boy! Oberto Beef Jerky U-6 Unlimited Hydroplane.  Look for the Oberto ‘Jerky Girls’ to beef it up with the crowds on race day and don’t forget to bring a bag of Beef Jerky to enjoy a FREE Pit Tour.  Oh Boy Oberto Beef Jerky - Break the Flavor Barrier.
