celebration !!!

Sanctioned by
APBA Vintage & Historic Division
 Ben
Lemay is working hard to bring our vintage race
boats back to Valleyfield again this summer. This is
a huge event, the largest inboard regatta in North
America, running all inboard hydroplane classes,
Jersey Speed Skiffs, flat bottoms, and of course our
beloved vintage race boats.
Valleyfield has a rich inboard racing history,
running all classes of inboard hydroplanes, along with
the skiffs and flatbottoms with three full days of
championship racing. The crowds in the grandstands are
huge and loud, and they know and love their race boats.
Valleyfield is also the home of the fire breathing Grand
Prix hydroplanes, with their screaming big block blower
motors and speeds of over 150 MPH down the shoots. For
our vintage race boats, it is the chance of a lifetime
to run on the historic Valleyfield course. If you would
like to participate, please contact Ben Lemay.
Because of the World Championships and all the
"regular" racing scheduled, water time for vintage will
be limited to one heat of Grand Prix hydros per day. All
vintage classes are invited to join the celebration with
a large static display of vintage race boats. Hopefully
we will all get water time next year, but we all get to
be part of the Valleyfield celebration this year!!!
