Copy and paste from OSO....
OCG, ReberBox, and I have been trying to get you freaks to come down for years. Excuses seem to fly at and unbelievable rate when this topic comes up. Thought I would let you read this and see if it made a difference.
Dear Power Boat Owners,
We would like to introduce ourselves and tell you about some changes for the 19th Annual Lake Rescue Shootout presented by Budweiser on August 24-26, 2007.
First of all, the Shootout will be televised on the SPEED Channel as part of the “LUCAS Oil on the Edge” Series. www.lucasoil.com. We will be filming a half hour show highlighting the fastest boats in the world to be aired later in the year.
We are also announcing 3 Primary Classes. Top Gun, Top Cat, and Top Vee. Top Gun is for all boats that run over 190 mph, Top Cat and Top Vee are for boats that can not reach 190, but still want to be on the television show. All three classes will have their own victory lane celebration at Shooter’s 21 after the event. Plus there will be scheduled times of the day for Top Gun, Cat and Vee only on Saturday at 12:00noon and 4:00pm, and the televised portion of the race will be from 3-5 on Sunday, with the victory celebration at 6:00pm.
We also have a new website with on-line registration. Visit www.lakeshootout.com. The cost to enter is still $50 for all runs, but all Top Gun/Cat/Vee Runners MUST rent a dock slip from Shooter’s 21 for $1000. We must do this so that the television crew can do interviews, etc. right after the driver’s finish their runs. Please register early so that we can reserve your slip. Call Jeff if you have any questions about registration or the dock slip.
Finally, we will be offering in-boat camera’s for the show at $2500/piece. We only have 5 camera’s so you will want to reserve your’s early. This is a great way to get your sponsors some TV time. Call Mike for more details.
For those of you that don’t know, the Lake Rescue Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the United States and has been listed by Powerboat Magazine as one of the 8 boating events that you must see. Basically, it is a one mile drag with a radar gun at the other end, and the biggest top speed is the winner. Last year over 30,000 people came to watch Dave Callan and John Cosker reach 208 MPH.
For more information, please contact us below. Also, tell everyone you now about this amazing event, and we hope to see you at the lake.
