The Stock Outboard Racing Commission Promotional Tools Page
Welcome! The following tools are intended for APBA members only. The main purpose is to give "YOU" the local club members, promotional tools, handouts and concepts to help "US" the APBA Stock Outboard Division, achieve "National exposure through a unified look" at all local events.
We will continue to expand and improve these templates as we receive feedback for clever, better ways to present ourselves. But, we believe this is a good start. Obviously, it is not practical for me to be your "technical support." Please find someone who is comfortable working with the below software to assist you. Having said that, I will assist you as I can, by creating a FAQ page. So please address any questions, solutions, comments and suggestions to sopromotions
