Mar 16, Maine Lobster Boat Races 2015 Schedule

If you are looking for truly unusual things to do

on a

Maine vacation, Maine

lobster boat racing may be the perfect

activity for you!

In this decades old tradition, said to be "Maine's

version of NASCAR"...

...race

participants take the competition seriously. With reported top

speeds over 60 miles an hour and racing by Class, many boat

owners

follow the lobster boat "race circuit" from mid-June to late August,

as it makes its way from

Midcoast, Maine, to Downeast.

And the fun is not just on the water...

Locals and

tourists alike, arrive early to watch the action from dockside -

cheering for

their favorites or letting the crowd pick one for them, just as they

did at the Friendship,

Maine 2008 boat races...

2015 Maine Lobster Boat Race Schedule

Thanks to the Maine

Lobster Boat Racing

Association (MLBRA), there are several dates and locations

for watching these

fierce competitions during the coming summer season.

And the races should be good, especially if a

"jacked-up" engine

controversy carries over from a previous race!

Please note: Be

sure to verify

racing dates before making travel plans.
