Offshore boat races coming to lake

Published: Thursday, April 12, 2007 5:19 PM CDT

GREERS?FERRY - The Ozark ROAR Offshore Super Series
Powerboat Races are headed to Greers Ferry Lake the weekend of April 21 & 22. Official spectator viewing areas for
the afternoon races will be Sugar Loaf Park on the south
shore of the lake and Fairfield Bay Park on the north shore of
the lake.

The official viewing areas will have access to comfort
facilities, food vendors and audio coverage of the races, all
for a $10 armband charge. Alcoholic beverages are
prohibited and coolers will not be allowed in official viewing
areas. Choctaw Park will host the launching area for craning
the boats in the water and will be open to spectators on the
dates of April 21-22 ($5 for parking at Choctaw). The Race
Village will be staged on Hwy 16 E at the Van Buren County
Fairgrounds in Clinton, on site parking available for $5 and
vendors in Village.

The races are open to the public Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, and a $10 arm band gets you into ALL viewing areas
for that day.

At Sugar Loaf Park, viewers will park directly off Highway 92,
close to the entrance to the park. For Fairfield Bay the off-site
parking will be at the corner of Highway 330 and the new
road across the street from Bill's Gas & Deli. Shuttles will be
provided.

The Choctaw Park boat ramp will be closed from April 21-22
for the wet pit craning area. The east boat ramp at Sugar
Loaf Park will remain open until filled through the race
weekend.

Campers will be allowed in the parks until the campsites are
full on a 1st come, 1st served basis. Some of the camp areas
will be restricted and off-limits due to race activities. There
are many other parks located around Greers Ferry Lake to
accommodate campers.

Persons planning to watch the races from their boat should
know all spectator boats must be in place by 10:30 am on
race days. Spectator boats will only be allowed on the east
and west ends of the race course, outside the safety buffer
areas. The north and south shores along the race course will
be closed to spectator boats for safety and to assure official
spectator viewing areas have better viewing.

VIP tickets are still available by calling one of the sponsoring
Chambers of Commerce.
