Offshore Powerboat Racing Returns to Atlantic City June 2024 With High-Octane Thrills

ATLANTIC CITY, NJ (February 8, 2024) – The Offshore Powerboat Association (OPA) , a powerhouse in the world of offshore powerboat racing, is making a triumphant return to Atlantic City, New Jersey. This summer the Atlantic City Grand Prix will set hearts pounding and spectators on the edge of their seats.  

In an electrifying partnership with Visit Atlantic City and the resort casinos, the Offshore Powerboat Association will once again set the Atlantic Ocean ablaze with excitement on June 22, 2024. Atlantic City will play host to the most anticipated offshore high-performance race of the year, marking the grand debut of the OPA National Championship Series on the upper east coast of the United States.  

Atlantic City is beyond excited to see sleek, high-powered vessels once again tearing through the Atlantic waves, competing for glory and speed supremacy. The fastest and most formidable teams from around the globe will converge to vie for victory, making this a spectacle not to be missed.  

This thrilling collaboration between the Offshore Powerboat Association, Visit Atlantic City, and the city’s Casinos underscores a shared commitment to ignite excitement and showcase the beauty of America’s Playground. Nestled against Atlantic City’s breathtaking coastal backdrop, the event promises a mesmerizing blend of heart-stopping action and scenic beauty that will captivate racing enthusiasts.  

“We are thrilled to bring our world-class boat racing back to the shores of Atlantic City,” said Nick Smith, the Vice President of the Offshore Powerboat Association. “This promises to be a monumental event, showcasing the premier racers and race boats, speed, and the sheer excitement of powerboat racing. We are grateful for the collaboration with the Mayor, Visit Atlantic City, the Atlantic City Sports Commission, CRDA, and the casinos and other hotels and businesses. We look forward to delivering a spectacular show for both residents and visitors.”  

Larry Sieg, the President & CEO of Visit Atlantic City and the Atlantic City Sports Commission, echoes that sentiment, saying: “We are extremely proud to host the Offshore Powerboat Association in Atlantic City this summer. After an absence of six years, this is hopefully the return of OPA for many years to come to showcase the beauty of Atlantic City and the thrilling sport of Powerboat Racing.”  

A press conference is scheduled for February 23 at 11:00 a.m. at ISLAND Waterpark at Showboat Resort to announce more details about the racers, the competition and events leading up to the June 22 Grand Prix.

Super Cat Teams Release Own 2024 National Competition Schedule

As they have in recent years, the team owners in offshore powerboat racing’s thriving Super Cat class have voted on their own national championship schedule for the 2024 season. The owners have selected the following seven events from Offshore Powerboat Association , Powerboat P1 / P1 Offshore and Race World Offshore event rosters:

May 16-19 —Thunder On Cocoa Beach, Cocoa Beach, Fla. (P1) May 31-June 2 —LOTO Powerfest, Lake Ozark, Mo. June 7-9 —Ocean City Grand Prix, Ocean City, Md. (RWO) June 21-23 —Atlantic City Grand Prix, Atlantic City, N.J. (OPA)* August 2-4 —Great Lakes Grand Prix, Michigan City, Ind. (OPA)* August  9-11 —Midwest Challenge, Sheboygan, Wis. (P1) September 27-29 —XINSURANCE Clearwater Nationals, Clearwater, Fla. (RWO)

Also as in years past, the 2024 Super Cat owners internal schedule incorporates a “drop-race” format, meaning only six events will count toward the owner series results. Teams can either run all seven races and drop their worst result, or simply run six races.

“I am happy to do some new venues—two more races on the north side of the country is a big change and I dig it,” said Vinnie Diorio, the owner of the SV Offshore Racing/Rollin’ Transport Super Cat team. “For some of us, the hardest part is the pits so we are hoping that the pit and crane areas are accommodating.”

The Dirty Money team is returning for its second Super Cat-class season.

Both Powerboat P1 and Race World Offshore are member-organizations of the American Power Boat Association . At present, the Offshore Powerboat Association is not under the APBA sanctioning umbrella. That means the OPA events are not presently part of the APBA Offshore National Championship Series. The Super Cat owners schedule includes an asterisk behind each OPA event that denotes “dependent upon APBA approval.”

“We are supportive of APBA-backed events,” said Beau Renfroe, the owner of the Dirty Money team. “If OPA cannot get in line with APBA requirements we will revisit the schedule.”

The back-to-back defending national and world champions, Tyler Miller and Myrick Coil of the M CON/Monster Energy Super Cat team will be looking for a threat-peat this season.

Regardless, the Super Cat owners voted to include two OPA events on their roster and are eager to start the 2024 season.

“We are all fired up,” said Casey Boaz of the CR Racing team. “The lineup looks great and new venues are always exciting. Win or lose, preferably win, we will still have fun.”

Tyler Miller, the owner/throttleman of the back-to-back world and national champion M CON/Monster Energy team, is equally delighted with the schedule and ready to go for a three-peat.

“The schedule provides a variety of flat- and fast-water courses, as well as multiple ‘fan-favorite’ rough-water races,” Miller said. “It’s going to be a must-see season with Super Cat teams on top of their games battling for the national championship. We are excited for the 2024 race schedule and looking forward to a great year of competitive racing.”

Said Boaz, “Win or lose, preferably win, we will still have fun.”

Episode 47 - Keith Eickert Offshore Race Engine Builder Powerboat Talk

Keith Eickert is one of the most recognized and successful high-performance engine builders in offshore racing history. With a career that began at Mercury Racing in 1972, Eickert went on to create power for 37 World, International, and National Champions.  Eickert was recruited to Mercury by his childhood friend Gary Garbrecht, who was the head of Mercury Racing. Eickert graduated from working on cylinder heads at Mercury to becoming one of their best engine builders. In 1976, Eickert was lured away from Mercury to build engines exclusively for racers Rocky Aoki (Benihana) and Preston Hen (Natural Light), the owner of the infamous Thunderbird Swap Shop. As the race team's participation fizzled and Eickert’s popularity increased, he went into business in 1981 with Jerry Jacoby and Bob Saccenti and opened Hawk Marine Power. Eickert went on to start KS&W Engines where he worked from 1982 to 1984, then worked for Ben Kramer at Apache Boats where he designed parts to marinize and race V12 Lamborghinis for the first time. Eickert later founded Lightning Performance Products and Keith Eickert Power Products, where he added a complete line of high-performance parts to his engine-building business. After two failed business partnerships, Eickert relaunched his original Lightning Performance line as part of the Don Onken group of companies. Under the Onken banner, Eickert developed and launched his V-16 engine concept, where he coupled two 540 cu. in. Big Block Chevy engines. Eickert programmed the electronically fuel-injected assembly to fire as one 16-cylinder engine. The power plant helped push Onken’s Mystic American Ethanol to multiple Lake of the Ozarks Top Gun victories. Eickert, now in his 80s, is retired and still resides in Florida. He occasionally still builds engines to stay busy. This episode is brought to you by: BoatLoanGuy.com your trusted source for Marine and RV Financing.
