3rd Annual Diamond Drag Boat Nationals Set For August 30th-Sept 1st!

The Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series returns to Wheatland, Missouri for the 3rd Annual Diamond Drag Boat Nationals on Lake Lucas over Labor Day Weekend, August 30th-September 1st. "We are just two weeks away from what may be largest Drag Boat event we've had here yet in Wheatland, Missouri." commented Track General Manager Dan Robinson. "The weather pattern has been outstanding as of late with very mild temperatures and lots of sunshine. The long range forecast calls for more of the same through the end of the month, so make plans now to make your way to Wheatland for the wildest show on water."

The 3-day festival of speed, fun and entertainment kicks off on Friday August 30th with a Open Competitor Test & Tune on the Lake from 10am-4pm. "The Friday tickets are just $10 so if you have never been to a drag boat race and are curious as to what drag boats are all about, Friday is a great day to check them out at a very affordable price." commented Robinson. Spectator gates will open at 8am on Friday.

The action on Saturday, August 31st begins at 9am with a full day of drag boat qualifying, including the mind numbing Top Fuel Hydros, racing down the lake at speeds in excess of 250 MPH! Spectator gates will open at 8am. The Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing Series will wrap up qualifying just in time for fans to make their way over to the Lucas Oil Speedway Dirt Track for the Lucas Oil MLRA Dirt Late Model Fall Shootout along with the Pitts Homes USRA Modifieds, as they run a special 25-Lap $750 to win main event, courtesy of Rains Ice.

The weekend concludes on Sunday, September 1st, with the final elimination Rounds to crown the champions of the 3rd Annual Diamond Drag Boat Nationals.

The weekend will be filled with fun activities, give-aways, great food, interesting displays and tons of horsepower! Bring the entire family out for a great weekend at Lake Lucas and Lucas Oil Speedway. The Show-Me Beach Swimming Beach will be open with horseshoe pits, volleyball and tether ball. FREE Bounce Houses, a REAL Pirate Ship, great food from local vendors and more, all await fans of every age!
