It ain't APBA but at least it's racing
 

Next Sunday OPA will hold it's first race of the season in front of the Point Pleasant and Bay Head beaches. The race starts at 1pm an will only feature 5 classes. P1 - P5. We anticipate about 40 teams showing up and since they will be spread through only 5 classes, we expect some great competition.

Viewing is excellent from the beach and we could still use a few more patrol boats on the course. If your interested in getting a front row seat on the race course and helping keep things safe, send me a PM. Otherwise, join the mailing list at www.njoffshore.com and you'll get updates about all the racing at the Jersey Shore.

We'll have Outer37's new 42 GTX as a Pace boat along with No Discipline and Johnny O's new 42 Ol, I believe it's a GTX too. These will serve as our three pace boats for the day.

The Dry Pits are at Windward Beach in Bricktown. The boats will be on display and testing in the river on Saturday. See antiques like Dry Martini and the brand new 38 Bad Boy which will be running in P2.

May 31 - June 1 Brick NJ
June 21 - 22 Seaside Heights NJ
July 19 - 20 Atlantic City NJ
Aug 14 - 15 Point Pleasant Beach NJ
Sept 6 - 7 Liberty State Park NJ
Sept 27 - 28 Chesapeake Challenge

Come watch the Jersey Boyz do their thing. Then hang around for a week and enjoy Skaterfest. It's all right here at the Jersey shore.

Who's in?

P.S. Jeff from Freeze Frame will be filming this race from a chopper so pray for some big water so he can get some great action on film.

NJ Offshore is the home of Big Water Racing.

To any and all interested in racing in Maryland-stay tuned to

www.cbpba.com

we will be posting all the details as soon as they become available.

Doug, I'll keep in touch and let you know as soon as I do.

Ron,

We will pray for some big water for you!
I mean, with only 15 foot waves predicted, you can use all the help you can get!
:D :D :D

Right now, I'd just take a prediction of no rain for next weekend. Once I see sun in the forecast, I'll get greedy and ask for big water.

Ted,

Were is the tentative race course?

Its somewhere around a new Hyatt.

ttt :cool:

We are ready
 

Tested Tried and True... We were out testing yesterday, sneeking in and out of rain storms, boat is ready to rock. Testing a few more tomorrow. I hope this rain stops soon.

Ron,
Are you talking about the new Hyatt Resorts in Cambridge MD??

I believe that would be the place. Ted is really the guy to ask.

4 days and counting.

Are they really predicting the water to be that BIG?

So far..Marine forcast is 2 - 4 foot seas and a bit chilly. High 60s

At least it doesn look like it's gonna rain. Probably a day like today. It did say it might be a bit more windy.

WHICH COULD MEAN 20' to 30' seas!!!!! Jeff get the camera warmed up.

Oh I better stop kidding ya, Typhoon might start to cry if the water is too big.

The Delicate Sound Of Thunder is finally READY......................

Where is the best place to park and where is the best place to watch the race?

thanks

Shawn,
Go to the Manasquan inlet, watch the boats go out, and then walk a couple hundred yards to "Jenkinsons Pavilion" to watch the race. The Race is right in front of the boardwalk/Jenkinsons.
