Powerboat Racing is Returning to Atlantic City, NJ This Week

World-Class powerboat racing is returning to Atlantic City, New Jersey for the first time in 6 years.

The Atlantic City Grand Prix is the first event of the Offshore Powerboat Association Championship Series on the northern East Coast of the United States.

It's an exciting and wildly popular spectator sport.

The much anticipated Saturday, June 22, 2024 special event is a collaboration of The Offshore Powerboat Association, Visit Atlantic City, The Atlantic City Sports Commission and the Atlantic City casino industry.

“We are extremely proud to host the Offshore Powerboat Association in Atlantic City this summer,” said Larry Sieg, who is the President & CEO of Visit Atlantic City and the Atlantic City Sports Commission.

”After an absence of six years, this is hopefully the return of OPA for many years to come to showcase the beauty of Atlantic City and the thrilling sport of Powerboat Racing, said Sieg.

The upcoming event regarding the racers, the competition and the various events leading up to the June 22, 2024 Grand Prix is greatly anticipated.

Simply put, some of the fastest and most famous racing teams from around the world will be participating.

I will be interviewing Tom Foley and others associated with this world-class event on Tuesday, June 18, 2024 at 9:05 a.m. on the “Hurley in the Morning” program.

The raw speed of these high-powered boats will be on full display and spectators will be able to view the action from the world famous Atlantic City beach and boardwalk.

It will be spectacular.

Some of the stuff from that race is really interesting.

The first race had 14 Class 7 boats in it. I've been told that 7 of them had to be towed back in, and one of them was sinking at the crane.

That was why the long delay between races 1 and 2.

I had only seen the 1st race last weekend and wondered what happened.

 

[rschap1]

Saw the rest now.
Them looked like some big waves

 

[Ratickle]

Looks like there was 11 Class 7's in the video, not 14......

 

[rschap1]

Looked like a beating for all

Jeff and Michael were at Skater Tuesday when I was there. They said going out the inlet to the Atlantic they went up a wave almost as tall as the boat was long. Then went down the other side and buried it.

Brigantine Inlet can be treacherous. I've witnessed a channel marker sucked completely underwater from out rushing tide. As we passed the eddy in the water it created you could at times read the number on its top.

We Watched a Boat in OCM's Inlet, deploy His Automatic Trolling Motor......and it couldn't keep up with the incoming Tide....It was ripping....Nice View from the Wedge Restaurant and Bar.

Sounds even rougher than it looked
