The Lake of The Ozarks National OSS Championships
Lake Ozark, Mo. September 26, 2009:
There are 28 teams entered in 11 classes competing today and Sunday for checkered flags, trophies and prize money. The 4.73 mile course has spectacular viewing areas around the Seven Mile Mark by the Horny Toad Entertainment Complex and Shady Gators.
The course went hot at 11:00 a.m. for testing and the Pro Am Series started racing at 1:30 p.m. Something new at this race was the OSS Offshore Drag Races and speed runs, two boats running side by side for “Top Gun” bragging rights. This first OSS Drag Run exposition wowed the crowds with 5 pairs of boats dragging down the straightaway. Bob Morgan of team Bad Moon Rising worked with race producer Merlyn Vandervort in conjunction with race officials to get the drag runs at this event.
