I don't know... if this race were in our backyard the local Cboaters would be all over it... so even though I live nowhere near there it's time for my annual plug.
I raced last year and it was a lot of fun. I think I had a time of 42 minutes or so.
I'm hoping that there is a bigger turnout this year. If the ocoee is close to you, you should do it. There is always a really good afterparty with an awards ceremony and BEER.
It's also for a good cause. All the proceeds go to first decents.
They don't have classes for open boats. A friend of mine won the first Ocoee open boat race back in the 80s, paddling a Blue Hole OCA. I was standing around on the rocks below Tablesaw, ready with a throw rope, but no one needed it.

So we be openbloaters - who all paddled for naught last year,
... and Bob didn't win the year before that,
... and sadly Sally didn't 'really' finish middle of the pack ?
(didn't you post this last year as well)
Yes - a good time
for a good cause
and a good party as well.
