CC Center Console* Production Boat & < 90 mph
over 16' 5" up to 30ft
30' up to 35'
35' up to 45'
45' up to 164'


With that many classes for CC's I'm surprised they are the only CC entered.

The need for speed will start early at this year's Pacific Airshow with a World Speed Record Ocean Cup Race on Friday morning, October 1. This powerboat race will start at 7 a.m. and feature world-class offshore race boats and experienced drivers on a 112.5-mile course that starts at the Huntington Beach Pier and heads to the north side of Catalina, circling the island's backside before coming back to the pier.

Sanctioned and approved by Union Internationale Motonautique (UIM), American Power Boat Association (APBA), and Powerboat P1 USA (P1), the racers will compete for the Ocean Cup Rum Run trophy to be presented by Erik Nordson, grandson of legendary racer Bob Nordson who won the race nine times.

This daring and skilled group of competitive boat drivers includes world-record holders Nigel Hook, Jay Johnson and Chris Reindl who reset the current word in 2020 as well as other drivers.

Spectators are invited to come watch the race from the beach or the pier (before it closes for the Airshow at 8am). For those who want an up-close look at these incredible boats, all of the race boats will be on display on Main Street on Saturday, Oct. 1 and Sunday, Oct. 2.

Damn I'd love to be at that airshow!!!

For only the second time in U.S. history, the three North American jet teams — the U.S. Navy Blue Angels, the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds, and the Canadian Forces Snowbirds — will perform together at one airshow.

Nice the water was pretty calm. Too bad only 5 boats showed up to run.
