Powerboat racing postponed at the lake

Lake Hopatcong Racing Assocociation members have voted to postpone the New Jersey State Championship Powerboat Race that was scheduled for this weekend, May 16-17, at the Lake Hopatcong State Park.

While there is enough water on the race course, there is not enough water in the pit area to launch the boats or have them reach the race course without being in danger of damaging propellers and rudders. If the water level in the lake rises we are looking to reschedule in the fall.
