LAKEPORT, Calif. – With the Lakeport Sprint Boat Grand Prix set for this Saturday and Sunday, the Southern California Speedboat Club and Lakeport Sprint Boat Grand Prix’s organizers announced the final list of classes competing in the event on Clear Lake.

Classes include: K Class, Unblown Flat Bottom, GPS – 100, Sportsmen Extreme, Formula Light Tunnel Boats and Vintage Race boats.

Event Chairman Jack Long is very proud of the work that has been put into this event.

“Staff, volunteers, city officials, county officials and myself have been working on this event around the clock,” said Long. “It has been a big undertaking but I am sure that once the locals see the sheer power and speed of these boats, they will be hooked on sprint boat racing. This is an exciting sport and I am sure the racers and crews will thoroughly enjoy the community’s hospitality and marvel at the scenic beauty. When they aren’t going over one hundred miles an hour.”

With downtown parking expected to fill up fast, overflow parking is being offered at Lake County Fairgrounds, 401 Martin St.

Race attendees can catch the Strohmeier Auto Center Shuttle and be delivered to the race gates. Shuttles will also be returning fans to their cars at the end of the day.

Lake County Fairgrounds is also offering camping for out of town attendees at the rate of $30 a night.

Advance tickets are still being sold at several local outlets. Those planning on attending are encouraged to avoid long ticket lines and purchase tickets early.

Lake County outlets include: Twin Pine Casino “Off the Vine” gift shop, Kelseyville Lumber, Lake County Fairgrounds, Steele Winery Tasting Room and Chacewater Winery Tasting Room. Ukiah fans can pick up their tickets at dig! Music.
