Default Lake of the Ozarks Speed Shootout

I did not exactly know where to put this, racing or other vehicles, here it is.

I was out at the lake house (lake of the Ozarks, MO) last weekend for a crazy speed shootout on the lake. Boat classes from PWC to pontoons to offshore world class racing boats - they hit almost 210MPH this year. They make about a 5 mile idle zone and a 1 mile race course where you are radared at the end. Here are a few pictures, I also have some great videos of some 150MPH+ runs....

A little taste LOL, over 5,000 boats partying with us....



This is the Mercedes boat, it has an MB car interior inside, very wild for a boat, but cool as hell....











All Carbon Fibre canopy fountain



The SRT guys think they have some power, look at that beautiful mess of blown V8s LOL (from the fountain above)

One of these days I hope to be at the lake for some racing.

By the way, were you at Baxters anytime during the first week of Aug? I saw an XF there when we went to dinner and it was there for quite a bit of time. Sorry, don't remember which day.

I wouldn't be have surprised if Kirk (RIOT) was out there...

I know he used to race boats, though I'm not sure if he does anymore. I think he has had a couple bad crashes.
