Help needed with opa in st clair july 26-28
 

Looking to take a week or so vacation to sight see from Catawba Island Lake Erie to St. Clair River race July 26-28.

Here is what I am looking for.
1. The best place to stay over night with a room and a dock for a 34' nortech. We want to be in the mid of action? Need to be able to dock and stay within walking distance to hotel?

2. Is there anything we need to see and check out between lake erie and st. clair river? Places to stay over night? places to hand out for a day or sight see?

Looking for best place to dock and stay for the 3-4 day weekend.

Thanks for the info.

Call Julie at Rivers Bend Marina - 810 329 2908 There's only one hotel on the river and I don't believe it has docks. That would be the St Clair Inn and I believe all rooms are already taken by race teams. We usually end up staying in Port Huron. See ya there.

Hey Ron, are pit passes available and if so, where can we get them?

the pits in st Claire are open, its like a street party. even the concerts fri and sat nites are free

Ditto Ron! That would be cool to get some pit passes! St Clair is booked we are looking at other options! Does anyone else have any other suggestions? Don't really want to be to far from action.

Not having any luck with reservation! Help me out with a few suggestions!

Guys,

They don't even sell pit passes. It's all wide open and free. Check this out for a preview.

As for hotels, St Clair Inn is the place to stay, but it's always booked. The BlueWater Inn is just up the road and we've stayed there a few times...but usually we end up about 10 miles up the road in Port Huron at the Hampton Inn. Not much around St Clair in the way of hotels.

It's a cute little town and this is the biggest event of the year for them. They've been doing it 30 years or so, so they know how to throw a party. You won't regret making the trip. They we race in Port Huron and East Tawas too. See www.oparacing.org.

If you need more help, send a PM to OSO member - bk1425 - He's the Pit Boss in St Clair. His name is Brian.

Well,
It appears we have a room at St. Clair Inn. But, Can't seem to find a dock for the week. Guess, We will NOT be going after all. LAst call if anyone has a hook up for dock? Need info no later than Monday night?

Thanks
