OPA Racing, with the help of Ocean Aire Management, has successfully contracted with Trumps Entertainment Resorts in Atlantic City as the venue for the 2010 GEICO series New Jersey race site. OPA Racing has asked NJOPRA to help produce and promote "Lightning on the Water", which is scheduled for September 18 and 19, 2010.

We are excited about working with Trump Entertainment Resorts, OPA , Ocean Aire Management and Atlantic City. Having the race in Atlantic City opens the sport to an entirely new group of race fans and we are looking forward to a long history with Trump Entertainment Resorts, Ocean Aire Management and Atlantic City.

Over the last five years, NJ Offshore, along with OPA, has expanded Offshore Racing to other locations in NJ, MD and FL. Click on the OPA logo to see more details about each race site.

NJOPRA is the volunteer group that supports these races. There are no less than twenty support boats on the water at every race. We have an excellent safety record with a response time of less than thirty seconds to accidents. We haven’t even needed to drop a paramedic diver from the helicopter in the last twenty years because our on water assets are so well trained and coordinated by MONOC paramedics.  Racers know that they are well taken care of both on and off the water when they make the trip to Point Pleasant Beach each summer.

You are invited to watch these races for free from land or from your own boat. You owe it to yourself to take the day off and enjoy this incredible motor sport first hand. Or, if you have always wanted to get a little closer to the action then feel free to give us a call and volunteer your time or services during race week. It's a rewarding experience that you will not soon forget.

We encourage you to join our club by contacting Toni Potthoff for further information.

Races are open to boats from 21 to 45 feet, with speeds between 60 and 155mph.
