All year?
How about 1 race? Cambridge!
And I appreciate the effort put out from CBPBA for their offerings...

It may come as a surprise to you but many people came up to me at the Cambridge race asking if the class would be around next year. All I could say to them was register early and it would probably be considered. Other than that, after Camden, someone else can pick up the ball to keep it going.

I focused on Long Island knowing that was where all these type boats were.
Unfortunately they never seem to leave the Great South Bay

Hopefully the others will come out and participate.

Thanks for all your support Ted!

I will be arriving Sunday morning. Saturday I have a wedding to attend...

I feel that it would be an unfair advantage because of the accelleration of the Twin Engine boats vs a boat with a Single. Calm or rough....

Skater24s,
You may want to think twice if you plan on watching the race from the water.

I was considering bringing my boat until I got this email:

Hello Race Fans,

I just got off the phone with the State Police.

There will be NO spectator boats allowed to watch the race. The State
Police and Coast Guard will be closing the river to all traffic at both
bridges by 10:30. Access from the marinas on the Philly side will be
blocked off.

The best place to watch the race is the Camden Waterfront or on the
deck of the Battleship NJ. The race will be announced via PA system from
the battleship so that's probably where a spectator would want to be.

That's all for now.

Skater24...bring that baby out to run P-3. lets see what you got. If Ryan Beckley can do it in P-2 ..you can too.

Tim, if we gave you everything you asked for, who would show up?

Please give me the names and phone numbers of 6 boats that will actually show and race and we'll have a real discussion.

I don't know Ron.

At this point I am just trying to find some other incentive to get people off their trailers.

What are the total OPA costs for a new boat to register and race on Sunday in the SOB Class?

2004 Annual Membership Per Rider: ?

2004 Annual Equipment Fee: ?
