shattering the new Captain Ron's course record at 196 mph

Lake of the Ozarks Shootout being held at Captain Ron's Bar & Grill August 23 - 29th, 2010 will bring the top racers and off shore racing power boats topping 196 MPH. The largest unsanctioned boat race in the midwest with over 100 racers and 70,000 spectators. Proceeds will benefit the Lake Area Rescue Teams, Habitat for Humanity, and other charitable organizations!

The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the United States and has been listed by Powerboat Magazine as one of the 8 “must see” boating events. With speeds reaching 196 MPH on a 1 mile drag, boats come from all over the United States for the honor of “Top Gun”. The 21st Anniversary event again held at Captain Ron's brought new record crowds estimated at over 70,000 people to the Lake of the Ozarks for the weekend. Families enjoyed playing on the beaches, visiting with over 50 vendors and having their pictures taken with many of the 123 racers that participated in the record setting event. Over 8,000 boats lined the course during the two-day races as they watched David Scott and John Tomlinson of Nauti-Marine fly by on one good engine as they set a new course record at 196 miles per hour.

In the past, this event has provided the Water Rescue Teams of Osage Beach, Lake Ozark, Sunrise Beach, and Gravois with much needed rescue equipment to be used on the Lake of the Ozarks. The new version of the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout will continue to benefit the Lake Area Rescue Teams, Habitat for Humanity, and other charitable organizations.

The Lake of the Ozarks Shootout committee is excited about the opportunity to continue such a great tradition and we look forward to your continued participation. Come see the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout by land at Captain Ron's off lake road 5-50 or by water on the 34.5 mile marker.
