Offshoreonly.com - All the specific info about the A/C race

Hello Race Fans,

We are only one week away from the first Offshore Race to grace the shores of Atlantic City NJ since 1988.

We are attracting boats from as far away as the Great Lakes, Florida and New England for this race. Come see the famous Bat Boats duke it out with the rest of the P4 fleet for thier peice of the $25,000 purse.

Becuase this race is far away from our home waters, we are still in need of volunteer boats to keep our racers safe. If you know of anyone in the area with an ocean worth boat, please pass this email along to them. We need turn boats and sweep boats. Please try to help so we have a secure race course.

Here's the complete intinirary of next weekends events.

See ya at the races,

Ron
