What Is Sprint Boat Racing?
Sprint boat racing is one of the most unique motorsports in the world. With a course that consists of a three-foot-deep channel, 20 feet wide, filled with water, winding throughout a series of islands.
Each sprint boat is manned by a driver and a navigator, who must memorize a complex course, known as the “Rotation”, which they are not provided until the day before the event. Navigating shallow channels at extreme speeds demands exceptional skill and coordination between the two-person team. Sprint boats are compact, high-powered jet boats, typically measuring 12 - 14 feet in length, with engines ranging from 500-1,500 horsepower. These boats can accelerate from zero to 80 mph in mere seconds, providing a thrilling spectacle for fans.
This two-day racing format will kick off Saturday, August 16th, with a full day of qualifications, and continue Sunday, August 17th, with rounds of eliminations culminating in the finals—all racing against the clock.
Spectators will enjoy the action from grassy, terraced berms, VIP viewing areas, all behind safety fencing for optimal visibility and comfort.
