Home of the National Championship Race for the 2010 OPA Offshore Racing Series, presented by GEICO, sponsored by Bayside Toyota/Chevrolet.
It's official, the Jersey Boyz are back, but this time the OPA National Championship Race will be determined in the waters off Solomons Island. GEICO has teamed with Bayside Toyota/Chevrolet, the Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association and our sponsors to secure a knock-down, drag-out race course in front of the main sea wall on Solomons Island. Spectators and fans will find plenty of parking and up-close viewing of some of the worlds fastest boats on the water today, racing for the Championship, including the World Famous Miss GEICO.
We've planned a weekend of activities for everyone, so bring the whole family for the weekend!! While you’re here, be sure to check out all of our cool sponsors for everything from food, to lodging, dining, jewelry, real estate, mortgage and entertainment!
On Friday, we start off with a golf tournament to raise money for the fight against Alzheimer’s. More Details and registration can be found here on the CBPBA Website.
On Saturday, spectators and fans will be able to tour the Race Village/Dry Pits area where they can see the boats up close, meet the race teams, buy souvenirs and T's, grab a bite to eat and much more. For you boaters, here's your chance to participate with the big boys!! Similar to those of you who play Guitar Hero, be sure to join us for the Chesapeake Bay Power Boat Association's "Offshore Hero" Poker Run on Saturday as well.
And thanks to the folks at GEICO, the Time Bandit Captains (Jonathan and Andy Hillstrand) from Discovery's hit show Deadliest Catch will be on hand for an Autograph Signing Session on Saturday Night October 2nd at Solomons Yachting Center from 5-7PM. Thanks also to the Solomons Yachting Center for hosting this event on their pool deck. These time are subject to change.
On Saturday evening, we're planning a special event for fans and racers.
On Sunday, Race Day, grab a spot at the sea wall and watch the boats fly by at unbelievable speeds. Bring your camera, you're not going to believe your eyes!!
If you're coming by boat, a US Coast Guard permitted spectactor section will be located on the PAX side of the river. If you need help finding it on race day, just ask any of our official sweep boats who will be securing the course. They'll be easily identified by flags and numbers.
