Shootout Noise Info
I was asked to post this by a friend that's involved with the Shootout.
---------------------------------------------------------
We just made great stride with the Missouri State Water Patrol and the local Noise Ordinance at LOTO in 09
Historically, they have given tickets to boaters around the Shootout weekend at LOTO
I am in charge of Racers Communications for the shootout, and we just closed negotiations with the water patrol,,,, And all BOATS REGISTERED FOR THE LOTO SHOOTOUT, BEFORE WEDNESDAY AUGUST 26TH
Will be exempt from the noise issues for Thursday, Friday , Saturday and Sunday at LOTO
On thursday morning, a list of all registered boats will be given to the Water Patrol Captain.
So we encourage all boaters to pre register there boat for the shootout( .....on line), this was a very positive cooperation with the Missouri Water Patrol

Not trying to be negative, because this sounds like a positive development. But it just feels like cops being jerks to me.
I wonder why the water patrol has to act in such a manner to begin with considering how much $$$ this event must bring into the area. It's not like the local residents- police, water patrol, EVERYBODY... don't know what's happening that weekend. Seems stupid to me.
Sorry if this post offends anyone.
I would welcome enlightenment from a different point of view.

Whether it's true or not is another story, typically it's the same people calling over and over every weekend...As I'm sure with other venues some people could care less about anything other than themselves and complain just for the sake of complaining...
They have historically allowed un-muffled boats for the shoot-out itself but were getting picky if the boats were found at the lakeside restaurants and bars or running elsewhere on the lake...
I'm wondering if they will allow this for the Poker Run if your pre-registered for the Shoot-out...I guess it could be considered a testing session....LOL....It would be pretty cool to hear the motors scream again for that run as well....

Actually this is a very positive signal...The WP have always maintained that the single largest complaint they get is from noise...

I ran across a boater at Bulldogs on sunday that came up from Oklahoma to run his boat because they lifted the noise ban for the weekend. I think it was a great decision from the Water Patrol. In defense of the noise ban for the rest of the season....we all live near the water at Lake of The Ozarks, not like some lakes where you can't put your house close to the water. MO terrain makes the noise worse as in many locations it bounces off the hillsides and if you have your windows open in the house, it sounds like the boat is coming for a visit to your living room. Don't get me wrong, I like hearing the rumbling to a point. Be safe!
