Velocity Fest 2007 - Official
 

Here's some more preliminary information. I'm still working out all the various costs for this year but I expect the per boat cost to be a little higher then last year since NJ is more expensive then MD.

Velocity Fest 2007

Locations: Forked River, NJ to Trump Marina Casino in Atlantic City, NJ. We’ll start at South Winds Harbour Marina in Forked River. See www.southwindsharbourmarina.com. The marina has a launch ramp, trailer parking, transient docking, fuel and a marine store. For the crew, South Winds offers a great restaurant and a poolside bar with evening entertainment.

Awesome!!! I am psyched!!!

Won't be long now!!!!

I should have an affordable Atlantic City hotel option for us contracted later this week. I'll also post a couple of other AC hotels for your consideration as well as some suggestions for those arriving Friday in the Forked River area. Please book hotels ASAP (and cancel later if needed) as this is a peak summer weekend and is already selling out! I'll take care of reserving the docking at Trumps (and at Forked River if desired).
