10-08-2009 04:19 PMSmitty welcome aboard. That is great news.
I think it is fantastic that somebody like Haggin, who has given so much to the sport, can now have an opportunity to take something back.
Your team will have an experience of racing right over the same course that Griffith and Brownie and Wishnick and yes even,....Don Aronow... who won this race way back in 1967.
Now that is reliving history for sure.
Big water down there....especially in the winter...yeah!!!

01-13-2010 01:39 PMNo......we were hoping to get some help for the race from an existing race organization. That fell through and we cancelled.
However......We have our own people now...HORBA Board Member, Billy Frenz with his NPBA....they are going to help us produce the Don Aronow Memorial Around Long Island Marathon next September on the weekend after Labor Day.
Michael Aronow has given permission to use Don's name again for this race and we will be based out of Guy LaMotta's marina. Manhasset Bay Marina and restaurant will be both the dry and wet pits and the awards ceremony location.
The race will be done on one day. Race distance is 250 miles. Current record stands at a bit over 3 hours. For those boats with no fuel capacity, we will have a handicap for refueling at Montauk.
Race will start on the north side of Long Island heading East and round Montauk and end on the ocean side, heading West, coming back through NYC tight areas. Start and finish will be right off Port Washington, NY.Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!

01-15-2010 01:23 PMAs you know HORBA has only two goals.....1.) Educate the public about the history of the sport and....2.) Save the old race boats before they are cut up and destroyed forever.
We really don't want to be another race organization, that is why we were hoping for some help in that area, with the actual running of the event etc. Unfortunately it didn't work out this year, but we still have hopes for a Miami to Key West next year. You Miami guys can get started on it now to lay the groundwork.
For the Don Aronow Around Long Island Race, we have Billy Frenz with his NPBA. He has tons of race promotion and poker run experience and is familiar with the area and dealing with the powers to be etc.
That is what we need in Miami to do this successfully for all involved.Light travels faster than sound....that is why some people appear bright until we hear them speak!!

01-15-2010 10:28 PMThat is unfortunate, we would have loved to be a part of the history that got us where we are today. J&S Motorsports representing the National Guard will keep our eyes open for events that move our sport and history forward in a positive light.

01-26-2010 02:28 PMDATE CHANGE......I spoke to Billy Frenz today and the date for the........
Don Aronow Memorial Around Long Island Marathon, will be one week later than originally scheduled.
The new date is September 18, 2010.
This new date does not conflict with any other race organization date.
