Potomac River Radar Run
 

It;s time once again on the Potomac to see "how fast is fast?" ThePotomac River Radar Run is scheduled for the 10th of October. It is at Timms II at fairview beach. It is free, come sign up and run your boat, and get a free t shirt. The reigning champion 388 Skater will not be back this year, so the coveted TOP GUN, is wide open. In the past the winners seem to walk away with some extra cash in their pockets, so you never know, :) We have new LARGE buoys, so the course will be very clear.

Time and is there a ramp nearby?

Fairview Beach Yacht Club has a mediocre ramp, it's about 1/2 mile from Tims. I've seen plenty of 30'+ boats launch there without problems.

The best ramp in the area is probably Hope Springs Marina in Stafford, a few miles up Aquia Creek.

You going??

Waiting to see what the weather looks like. Thanks

Eric is going out today after lunch, he will let us know what the water looks like. Tom said a Fountain went out yesterday from Fairview to Colonial Beach and there was little debris.

The 388 skater Has always launched next to Ricks, But was very close. Was out Wensday by Tims 1 and power lines had a decent amount of wood floating around.

Any updates?

Still on as of right now !

Some boats that can't be here tmw will run today, everyone else will run tmw including someone from on here in a 36 Skater that's going to try and go 180!

Garth Tagge and Jim Melley ( I apologize for any misspelling, copying this from your entry) just had a run of 179.8 mph with their 36 Skater!!! congratulations!!!!
