Current World Champion and Record Holder In Demonstration Race In Lake George, New York

Nicky Cutro’s Mercury / Boardwalk Offshore Racer Tunes Up For 2000 Season.  The 2000 Offshore Racing Season is in gear and a preview is featured in Lake George this year. The lake is alive with activity as the Fourth Annual Queen’s Great Boat Race Weekend takes place May 19 – 21 in Lake George, New York.

On Sunday, 2PM, World and National Champion Nicky Cutro will participate in a demonstration race with other offshore boats from the area. The festivities will begin at a pre-race party Saturday night, at the Boardwalk Restaurant & Marina, Lower Amherst, Lake George Village starting 8PM. Drink specials and giveaways all night and appearances by Team Pennzoil P-70 and others promise to jump-start the weekend filled with events and attractions. The team’s 32’ triple engine Shadow Cat racer will be on display at the Boardwalk all weekend. Other events include a Rowing Regatta, Children’s Bouncy House, an Art in the Park Festival,  Balloon Festival, Spring Boat Show, International Food Court, Street Entertainment and Live Music.

 A highlight of the schedule is the Queen’s Great Boat Race from Bolton to the Village finishing with a Victory Party and Giant Fireworks display. This race is between the excursion boats that cruise the lake throughout the season.

 The 1998 – 1999 seasons have been outstanding for the Boardwalk Team. Three time World and National Champion Nicky Cutro’s 17 years of offshore racing experience proved nearly unstoppable on the national circuit, finishing at least second place in all of their races and first place finishes in Chesapeake, St. Petersburg, Lake Winnipesaukee, and New York.
