I saw a banner at the top of the page advertising offshore races at Lake Perris. Is this the first time racing there? Is it big enough? I've never been there but I always thought it was a small lake. I wish I lived closer so I could see it.

Come down and check it out. First time for the P boats I believe. Should be fun.

I was thinking this is a resurrection of an old race.
Grads - the lake is fairly small. The course is around a 5 mile loop. I cant remember how many laps they do.

Sounds pretty cool. Camped there when I was a kid.
Waaaaaaaaaaa?
It's actually a fun lake, when the bacteria count is low.
When women aren't cleaning their baby's diaper in the water?Quote:

They should come to Folsom Lake and race... I always thought it was too small but I looked up Lake Perris and it is 134,000 acre feet where Folsom is over 1,000,000. :yikes:

Get many swells at Folsom do you?
Curious Grads, what does the depth of the water have to do with it? Diamond Valley Lake has 800,000 acre feet, and its a stones throw from Perris, but I wouldn't want to see an offshore race there either.
we will be there buy only on display, yes the lake is small but POPRA is trying to get its feet wet again and you have to start somewhere. I will be out there with the OL all day friday and saturday. come on by and say hi
Are there swells at Lake Perris? If you ask all the the v-drive guys that raced at Folsom they will tell you it was too rough. ;) And water storage aside, the surface area of Folsom is bigger as well.Quote:

Yes, they won't be able to spread their legs because of how short the straights are but that can make for some really close racing. Why knock it until you see it?Quote:

Maybe with the wine and brie crowd. Not the die hard purists.Quote:
