Can you guys list up some needs for the race site? How many ambulances? How much area for dry pits? How much $$$$$ and how far off shore the course has to be ? I'd imagine coast guard isn't going to allow the course to go under the bridge or by the boat ramp? Let's see if I can turn to some optimism. I'll gladly look into these things.

reading this thread really got my hopes up. it would be cool to see some races in our local waters. cant really think of a better spot either. seeing boats whiz by the battleships would be pretty cool. not to mention there is a lot of room on land to watch. i have my fingers crossed.
Sell spectator tickets for a spot on the Battleship. I'm sure Mike Lund at Borden Light would be a huge help. If I'm not mistaken, isn't he on the City Council?

The race is being run out of Bordon Light Marina. Mike has already met with Smitty of OPA. Mike is working out the logistics of running the race along with the poker run on the same weekend.

so is blm/tipsy prying open the safe to pay opa to come to town, or just spearheading the fundraising? Justice curious.

I enjoyed racing there back in the day !
I even made the local newspaper with a story titled "Speed vs Power" with the image below.
It was ironic that it had nothing to do with the race but actually on Photography .
Speed of the shutter and Power of a Lens ....
