OCEAN CITY -- The grand spectacle of offshore powerboat racing
returns to Ocean City this weekend with the arrival of the first leg of
the Offshore Powerboat Association (OPA) summer-long series around the
country.
The OPA series gets underway this weekend with the Ocean City Grand
Prix, the first of seven events at locations all over the country.
Dozens of high-powered offshore powerboats will converge on the resort
area starting this afternoon for a series of events onshore and off
throughout the weekend culminating with two races just off the coast of
Ocean City on Sunday afternoon. Phil Houck, owner of the Bull on the
Beach and lead sponsor on the event, said this week he expects a big
turnout based on early registration.
“We’re expecting about 50 boats,” he said. “It’s the first race of
the year and it will be nationally televised, so just about all of the
competitors will be out for this one in Ocean City.”
