The Low-Down on the 31st Annual Lake of the Ozarks Shootout
You heard that right, we're celebrating the 31st year for the largest unsanctioned boat race in the United States. If you are a powerboat fan, this is a must-attend event at the Lake of the Ozarks. This will be the twelfth year for Captain Ron's in Sunrise Beach (MM 34.5) to host one of the top powerboat events in the nation.
Not only is the event great for spectators and racers, but the event also raises funds for multiple Lake area charities. In 2018, $300,000 was donated to 32 different charities and 8 Fire Departments. One thing you can always count on at the Lake of the Ozarks is people giving back to the community.
If you are heading to the Shootout by boat this year, please be aware of the no-wake zones. From 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. on Saturday, August 24th and 9:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Sunday, August 25th the normal no-wake zone will be in place from the 31 Mile Marker to the 36 Mile Marker. On Saturday there will be an extended no-wake zone in place to the 21 Mile Marker from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The no- wake zones are in place to protect spectators, racers, and residents and to have a safe event.
Will American Ethanol take home the Top Gun award again this year? Last year with a run of 204 mph the team of Tony Battiato and John Cosker continue to dominate, with 4 Top Gun wins in a row. In 2018, there were 70 race classes from PWC, Pontoons, Cats, and V-Hulls -- there is something for everyone to enjoy. Watching the pontoon fly down the course is spectacular since that is not something you see every day.
