Waterfront activity should start today as some boats and racers begin arriving. And preparations in the Vinoy Basin, one of the pit sites, are expected to get under way. This year's program has added some land-based events, including fireworks Friday and Saturday nights, a Taste of the Races food festival in Straub Park and concerts Saturday and Sunday. For fans who can't attend or who want to hear a live description while watching, WSUN-AM 620 Radio will broadcast both days' races. The race raises money for the Pinellas Association for Retarded Children and the National Sports Network, a program for people with disabilities.
Fans can see boats and meet racing teams.
