PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
2 Attachment(s)
After not racing off of Point Pleasant Beach, NJ in front of Jenkinson's last year, and not knowing whether the racing would return for 2006, I took some time to go scout out an alternative race site. (Plan B)
Belmar, NJ Home of BAR Anticipation, Headliner, D'Jai's, 95.9 WRAT Radio station and many other possible sponsors. Whether or not the idea flies, or maybe Point will be back on the racing ciruit, I thought I would share the photos with the you to see what you think of the area.... Some positives: Highway frontage for the Pits Very short distance to the inlet and race course Municiple Marina has ramp and floating docks Great sponsor potential Downside: Tight channel along the marina. D'Jais , boardwalk / beach or boat for viewing race Here is a view of the Shark River and the Marina |

Re: PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
I have always thought the same thing Shark. Its only 5 miles North of Point Pleasant. Someone would have to ask the town if they were even interested. I know they have pro volleyball matches and different festivals all year. Its all about the money! Between Belmar and Point you also have Spring Lake and Manisquan which have $ and beach bars and rest.
I think its great you are always looking to improve the sport and help. Thanks MD |

Re: PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
i didnt know that there was a firing range between spring lake and manasquan. you learn something new every day. where did you shoot that footage from? Were they firing at you? :eek:

Re: PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
The Range buoys were about 1mile north of the Manasquan inlet sea buoy and were removed 4 years ago.

I was in the area today and saw nothing out there. I guess they no longer fire rounds out that way? :confused: Belmar was looking nice. Anyone have any contacts up that way??? |
Re: PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
No other interest in this thread ??? :confused:
Well then, if all else fails..... then they will go to Plan C ... |
Re: PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
I like the idea, it would be GREAT! Just takes a lot of time and money to get started. Way too many meetings Sharkey and we don't have the time to explore this. If you think you want to give this a shot your more than welcome.

Re: PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
Go for it Tim.
Put it together, You can do it. Mike :D |
Re: PLAN B !!! Racing Alternative
Good luck....I hear Belmar didnt want the volley ball tour this year. and they moved it to Seaside Heights. I think its because the tour wanted to be there on July 4th weekend and the town said no.
