Would like to present the:

Solomons Offshore Grand Prix presented by Bayside Toyota/Chevrolet

October 2-3 2010

www.solomonsrace.com


The Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association and the OPA have teamed up again for the 2010 National Championships with a brand new race site. This will be the second to last stop for the racing series as the boats come into town located on the Patuxent River for a weekend of action packed racing.

This event will take the place of the Cambridge Challenge scheduled for earlier in the year. We have been racing at the Hyatt for several years and have a great relationship with a great venue but it was time for a change. We would like to thank everyone at the Hyatt for a great site and a tremendous amount of support!

With that being said this is event is going to be great and we are getting a ton of support from the area and everyone is looking forward to it. We are still getting a lot of information together but we do have our website up and of course will be adding more information as we get it.


And YES there will be a poker run that weekend with the information coming out soon!!!

If anyone has any questions please feel free to contact me and we hope to see everyone there!!!!

Sounds like a winner. Is this the thing you needed those crowd shots for?

Very COOL!!

[Ted]

Mike has put in an astounding amount of work on this race and the support from the city and county has been great. With a great sponsor (thanks Geoff), a great city, and TV coverage, this race should be a great event. And then there's the poker run.....

[Beak Boater]

Thanks Mikey....and Geoff. Jayboat.....dont let that helicopter get too close to Patuxent River Naval air Station. They have no since of humor.!!!!

[OldSchool]

Great job Mike. By the time this race weekend is over they will not forget your name cause OPA and The Jersey Boyz are coming to town to raise a little hell, another All Time Low That We'll Be proud Of!

We have been working with Pax and have their full support for the event.

[mikey]

I am sorry to forget this part because it is very important. There have been two people that have really helped the event take off.....

Joe Peary who is a local down there and use to attend races with BobbyB. He has been working with PAX and Sponsors and has done a great job.

Chris Mcnelis is a local real estate agent in Solomons and is behind what we are doing 100%!!!!

These two have made this event go much smoother and I want to thank them for that!!!
