2004 OPA/JB PHILLY Race Pics??
 

I am looking for pics from the 2004 Philadelphia OPA/Jersey Boyz race that was held last October (which I missed!) to get me psyched for this year's race. Where can I find them? (Forgive me if I might have missed or overlooked them somewhere!) THANKS for all your help.

BTW, who here is running this year? what number of boats can be expected?

Why don't you come on down to Cambridge MD next weekend and see the race. That will get you psyched for Camden
We will be in Camden for the race

Re: 2004 OPA/JB PHILLY Race Pics??
 

I just may do that if nothing else takes priority...another member (from MD) informed me about the race.

How many boats should be expected there? Where would be the best place on land to view them "flying"?

DRR, Cambridge is a great race to watch......long peir right on the straightaway!! Wish I could go but I'll be in Italy hanging out on the Med!! :cool: :D

Looking forward to going to Camden though...when is that race?

Hey Delaware River Runner
Are you , by any chance the owner of the 24' Jaws?

Re: 2004 OPA/JB PHILLY Race Pics??
 

I have about 50 pics from last year's race. They were pretty good pics, as i was the paceboat and sat in the middle of the course. Do a search, i think i posted them last year.

I volunteered my boat again this year. It's a fun event. everyone should try to make it.

Bruce,

I do not own nor have I ever owned a JAWS 24'. I have never seen one in person either. However, I did see a pic of one posted here on OSO in a thread about 24 footers.

Mark,

I will search for your pics a little later and let you know if I find anything.

Great photos on that link.

Make sure you join the mailing list at www.oparacing.com.

The best place to watch from is on the deck of the Battleship NJ. You can see the whole course. Wiggins Park Marina is the wet pits. The race will start at 12 or 1pm on Sunday.

Here's a few favorite photos from last year. This should be a huge event. No entry fees and $26,000 purse just for the five P classes.

HiPerf2000,

THANKS for all the pics!! That should help alot of us get "revved up" and totally psyched for the race. There were 3 local boats in there that I've wanted to see for a long time now...THANKS AGAIN!!

I saw my first ever offshore race in Cambridge, Md last weekend...now I'm hooked!! What a race and what a place! (beautiful setting) Already planning to go next year.
