The Long Beach Race is coming up on the 15-19th. This year there will be a Race on Saturday. We are working on the course but it will be inside the harbour. I will post it soon.
The new site looks good but you wanted some constructive criticism, so here is what I think:
1) I think that you should have more teams under the Production classes, with photos, etc.. like you already have it.
2) Under all classes, I would sugguest identifying what makes a P5 boat, a P5 boat, maybe specify the requirements to get into that class (staying under 75 mph etc), P6 (staying under 65) etc...
3) If somebody was thinking about entering their boat in a race, what is involved with that? Maybe sell the fact how easy it really is to get into POPRA with your own boat.

Hope that helps.
Thank you for the response on the website. I will pass it on to Troy and make the changes.

We tried something different this year to move the race to Saturday and run it near shore so the fans could see the boats race.
Let us know if you liked the raceboats running near shore or would you like to see them run to the island next year again. We were looking at having (2 races) one Saturday and one on Sunday. Either both inshore or one at Belmont pier (like this year) and one to the island and back.
The next event is Bayfair San Diego.
Thanks to everyone that came out to watch and the racers that made the show.
