2014 Nationals Schedule
Here is the schedule for the 2014 APBA Stock/Mod/J Nationals in Moses Lake, Washington.
Trailer Day
The IOA trailer and equipment needs some maintenance before we can go racing this summer. It will be on Saturday, March 15, 2014 and will start around 10am EDT. Once again, this will be held at the Dircksens’ home in Waterloo, Indiana. Waterloo is just off of I-69, about halfway between Fort Wayne and the Michigan state line.
Important note about the Annual Meeting
The meeting was originally scheduled for 10am EST. The meeting has been moved back to 11am EST, as the Antique drivers will be holding a brief meeting beforehand. It will still be at the Potawatomi Inn in Pokagon State Park.
2013 Annual Meeting and Awards Banquet
You are invited to the Indiana Outboard Association’s annual meeting on Saturday, November 2, 2013.
The morning meeting will include a free lunch, as we lay plans for the 2014 racing season. During free time in the afternoon, you can relax and enjoy the rustic Potawatomi Inn or venture out into this outstanding state park. Our evening begins with cocktail hour, followed by dinner and our awards program. If you would like to donate a gift for a door prize, please bring it along and we will add it to our collection.

Every year, a few of us get together and go through the IOA safety trailer to make sure that everything is in the trailer and in working order. We will be hosting trailer day at Jasen and Tammy Dircksen’s house on March 23 at 10 am. If you care to join us, just say that you are planning on attending and I will send a message to attendees with an address to the Dircksen’s house and further details.
