CAMBRIDGE — Powerboats completed in the 111th Cambridge Classic powerboat race in the Choptank River this weekend in Cambridge.
This year’s race was held on Saturday and Sunday, May 20 and 21, and the races were run on Hambrooks Bay off the Choptank River in Cambridge.
A great turnout of spectators watched on land on bleachers at Gerry Boyle Park at Great Marsh and from boats anchored in the water.
The race, the oldest active of its kind, was the kick-off for the Hydroplane Racing League’s 2023 Season.
The Cambridge Powerboat Racing Association partnered with the Dorchester Chamber of Commerce to provide the logistics, including a new kids zone.
“This is one of the most successful races we’ve had in many, many years,” said CPRA Vice Commodore Allen Nelson.
Nelson said he was proud of the way the community responded to calls to support the race, and he credited the Chamber’s involvement with enhancing the event for what he said was the largest crowd in years.
“It went great, a great crowd came out,” said Chamber President Bill Christopher, and he emphasized the success of the new kids zone with making it even more of a family event.
“There was a lot of good racing, it was a great event,” Christopher said of the event that had no crashes or accidents.
