Thunder On the River - Skiffs running in NJ
 

On Sept 23 the Long Branch Ice Boat Club is sponsoring Thunder on the River, a rally of Jersey Speed Skiffs. I heard that there are 35 Skiffs that will be showing up for the event. Everyone is invited to stop by and check out all the action.
They were also wondering if all the guys that have the mini-offshore boats would want to run that day. The club has a ramp.

Mr V, that will be in Red Bank on the Navesink, I assume?

Gotta talk to my friend Gary, to see if he'll be bringing out the General G.... Last time i saw him, he was giving rides at the pits for the Pt. Pleasant Beach race that was called due to the fog.

I'll be moving to Florida in Nov, so the next couple of months will be pretty busy, but I'll mark this on my calender and hope for the best.......

Nope NOT Red Bank. They are running in the Shrewsbury leaving from the club in North Long Branch. This is not a race, this is a "rally" or "fun run". Their hope to is eventually bring skiff racing back to the area.

Damn..we'll be in Cambridge w/OPA...I would've liked to check that out...

I went down to Parkertown yesterday to watch OSO member "Haulin Trash" make his skiff debut with the Outlaws..

He did really well....Congrats again, Mike... :drink:

If I'm not riding in js-12 I'd like to, I'll find out tonight. Maybe Panther will ride with you. PM me your contact info and I'll have the organizers get in touch with you if they haven't already.
I'm really happy that so many boats are showing up. I hear a lot of the old time racers will be there as well with some of the old boats.

If you still have the little Cig you need to bring it down!!! :evilb:

Re: Thunder On the River - Skiffs running in NJ
 

That would be like a 47 Apache next to those skiffs and flatbottoms.

Re: Thunder On the River - Skiffs running in NJ
 

Yea, slow resin bucket to fast........ :D

If it still looks as good as it did when I saw it at Sked's out on Obry Rd 16 years ago bring it and leave it on the trailer. There are going to be a few show pieces there.

Re: Thunder On the River - Skiffs running in NJ
 

That old resin bucket can still go 80 plus! Yeah, it still looks that good. Sounds like a great time to be had by all.
