Who doesn’t love the sound of revving engines… on the water! Watercross is snowmobile racing on the lake.
These high horsepower sleds and skilled pilots race on an oval course often four wide and the waves build up fast!
You will even see them sink on occasion, only to have them fished out with a retriever boat, dried out and back running within 30 minutes.
Everyone is welcome to watch!
Takes place in the parking lot southwest of the concert bowl. Road course drifting takes place on the road course along the south side of the property from 10 AM to 2 PM Friday and Saturday
Come watch highly modified Drift Cars, pushing 700 HP, on Boost and Nitrous navigate the track up to 100 mph while going into full drift.
Drivers often find themselves within feet of each other and within inches of concrete barriers; contact is not uncommon!
They can go through a brand new set of tires in 45 seconds!
