The past will come alive this summer when the vintage race boats of bygone eras return to the Buffalo Launch Club to participate in a special vintage race boat program. The beautiful vintage boats start arriving on Friday morning, Sept 7th with registration, APBA vintage safety inspections and a social gathering during the day, followed with the now famous free "Pit Pass Party" at the Launch Club. The Vintage boats will be on display on Saturday and will run demonstration laps on the historic BLC race course all day long - the sights and sounds are spectacular from our docks !!!
