Default Anyone heading to the Clearwater Races?

Just seeing if anyone is heading out there this year. It's Sept 27-30th.

http://www.clearwatersuperboat.com/

We are on land as of now since we are working on the C.C. but got a hotel at the Hilton next to pier 60. We are locals but rather just stay and not deal with the traffic and all that, plus the party is on the beach anyway.

Should be out there from Fri on. Hope to see a few people out there as well! Always a good time each and every year.

Yup

The boats will dock and display at Coachman park just before the beach. The race will be from the Pier 60 area to just past Frenchys.

Each night there is something going on in the area as well.

Friday nights?

We saw it last year and were on the docks just not in the "restricted" area. I didn't try to get in but figured it was with the VIP pass only.

I Got those for the year prior (2010) and didnt feel they were of great value. As I stayed at the Hyatt were the "party" was so I already had that access already and we missed the Fri night events that year beacuse of work.

I would like to do that dry dock party though as it did look like a good time last year for sure.

Fri night there is a good one and I saw there was something Sat night with bands and all that also in Coachman park if I recall too.

Sunday stays fun all day after the races. I will be at the new beach side Hooters for sure.

Also for those who don't know or arnt local. Next to were Captain Memos Pirate ship leaves/docks and just behind the Hyatt, a new hotel went up. It is a Holiday inn. They have a roof top bar there called the "Crows nest" and it is all new and not bad with a great view of the races and all of the beach. Better than the view at the Hyatt view if you ask me.
