Boat Races "Garveys, Speed Skiffs, Outboards and Ski Boats

Race Season is here and The Jerseyoutlaws are ready to race.  Our First Race is in Parkertown NJ(Little Egg Harbor) Races are located at the end of  Dock Street off of Route 9 ... BE CAREFUL, there are two Dock Rd/St.  Heading south you see Dock Rd, with Tipp Hardware on the Corner, this is NOT the correct Dock Rd/St, go a little further and you will see My Three Sons Seafood and Produce, with amazing Homemade pies, this is the correct Dock Street.  We do place signs up on Route 9 but sometimes they get blown down or miss placed so watch for My Three sons turn right from the south, left from the North and keep heading towards the water, at the very end is the Bay and our race.  We have a Great Beach so bring your lawn chairs and watch the races.  I would suggest a tent or umbrella as there is no Shade except for the pavilion that fills up fast.  Parkertown Fire Company will be selling Hot Dogs and Soda, music will be playing all day, and some of the most Exciting Racing on the Bay.  Sunday starting at 12:00 is our Opening Day.  Bring a chair and a smile and get ready for the thrill of a lifetime.   

Jerseyoutlaws is proud of the money they have raised over the last couple years for the Frog Pond School in Ocean County and their program for children with special needs, and look forward to your continued support to continue our work "Racing for Autism" . 

We are also proud of the Great Races we have been able to give our fans and Families.  From Garveys to Ski Boats, from Outboards to the Speed Skiffs, everyone has been working together to give you, our fans, a great race show.  We understand how hard you work all week long, and how you have worked through all the difficulties of the Fall and Winter.  We want you to come and enjoy this long lived tradition of FREE, FAMILY FUN on the Bay.  There is no charge for our races, we just ask you bring a smile and a chair, come relax and enjoy a great show.    We start at 12:00 sharp with the National Anthem, then hot laps, and on to the races, with several classes running.    We take a break for about 20 minutes than race another set of heats in all classes.  Races conclude around 3:30.

We have decided to hold our races in Parkertown this year.    The race sites we normally raced at are County Parks, (Berkeley and Toms River)Barnegat Public Docks,  and Parkertown .  To insure the saftey of our racers and to insure we had races that absolutely can take place that are also safe for our spectators, all of our races this year will take place in Parkertown, with one away race in Harrisburg PA at the Kipona Festival  in September.
