Fall River River Grand Prix OPA Race @ Borden Light Marina
Offshore powerboat racing is possibly the most dangerous and definitely one of the most exciting forms of motorsports racing available today. Watching these ocean going machines race around Mount Hope Bay is nothing short of mesmerizing as the boats fly from wave to wave at speeds approaching 200mph.

The City of Fall River looks forward to hosting its first OPA Race this August 14th – 16th. We welcome you to our marina and our city of great history and attractions.

Please check out the Borden Light Marina OPA webpage. You will find information on becoming a sponsor, the hotel in the area and Battleship Cove activities during their 50th Anniversary weekend!

Please contact Michael at the marina by email [email protected] or call direct at 508-944-3728.

So this will be the week after the PR? Sounds like you're going to have your hands full for the first part of Aug.!!!

Quick questions... Will the racing take place right in front of the marina, how big will the course be, and will spectator boats be aloud out there around the course?
The Marina will be open to the public on land for spectators to view launching and race. The docks and other facilities will be for members and guests only. We are encouraging both individuals and businesses to help sponsor the event. Currently we are anticipating over 30,000 visitors for the race and that's on top of Battleship Massachusetts Celebrate 50 event.. The Tipsy Seagull and a second barge will be open all day to the public during the race. Upstairs however will be reserved for VIP for sponsors. Please visit our website for race www.Fallrivergrandprix.com Feel free to contact me with any additional questions. WE HAVE REACHED $22,000 FROM SPONSORS!!!
Thank You
Michael
