Lake Jacksboro Shootout
August 16, 2013 - August 18, 2013
$20 – $40
The NBRA Hydroracing (Outboards) will hold sanctioned racing at Lake Jacksboro,TX this weekend ( about 20 miles NW of Fort Worth on TX-199) . The National Boat Racing Association website (http://www.racenbra.net/) is dedicated to the enjoyment and racing of Stock and Modified (Mod) outboard hydroplanes and runabouts.
Testing is on Friday 8/16, racing in various classes on Saturday 8/17 and Sunday 8/18.
The competition may only last for three laps but the friendships made here will last forever. There are clubs all across the United States and everyone is welcome to come and join us at a race. We frequently offer classes about racing at our events and perhaps you will choose to join us. Those who complete ground school successfully may receive the opportunity to take a ride in one of these amazing boats.
This is their 2nd year here, and they are fun to watch, and the drivers and their support people are extremely friendly to visitors. Both my sons and I totally enjoyed the racing last year. Last year the rain caused a shortened number of races, but the weather looks very good for this year.
If you have any questions about getting into boat racing call Jeff Ruth at (479) 927-2847.
