I saw my first race in 1982 that brought back ALOT of great memories.

One of the best sites for old Information! Dave dad must of been proud when you dedicated the site to him, And for all the years he put in to volunteer for all the races and functions there is no one more deserving then Ray! :D

Dave,
This is a great piece of work!
I had the pleasure of meeting your dad at the "Skater Fest", what a nice dad you have-he enjoyed talking about the "Olden Days" of racing.
I have some Race Programs going back to the 1974 Hennesy Grand Prix with "Latortuga", remember that one? If you would like, I could loan you photos or programs going back to the mid 70's, for this site.
BOB :)

Bob,

That would be great! I would just need them for about a week to scan all the info & covers in.

Thanks!

Dave,

Incredible Job!!

The Ray Patnaude Offshore Racing Library

A fitting tribute to an original offshore enthusiast and a heck of a nice gentleman.

Thanks to Ray and Dave for sharing their collection and to Kelly Patnaude - for understanding the countless hours spent by Dave putting it together for everyone to enjoy!

Dave,
Fantastic site; it really brought back great memories for me of what offshore powerboat racing used to be like at the Jersey Shore.I am sure this years A.C race will be the begining of great new era in offshore powerboat racing in NJ.

Dave and Ray

in point pleasant when i was a kid....and
Ray thanks again for towing us in at the bay race...mike

Dave - Another feather in the cap of NJPPC. Now I can see what you've been up to lately. I'll check with the corporate archive guys and see if they have any more pictures of the boss's Sunoco-DX boat. (Now there's a heavy-hitter in offshore!) If they do, I'll try to get them scanned for you. Great job!
