Lewiston, Idaho -

The Thunder on the Snake Jet Boat Race will be the pinnacle race in the 2015 USA Jet River Racing Series to make place on August 28 through 30 in Lewiston.

Teams from four countries including Canada, Mexico New Zealand and the U.S. will be in town for race week to enjoy the area, adjust their boats to the lower elevation and memorize the race course that also features a circuit race on Saturday.

"We're excited to try something new this year," said driver Jake Barney of Clarkston, Washington. "I think the circuit racing offers race fans a great opportunity to be able to drive and watch from the riverbank if they don't have access to a boat."

The Saturday afternoon circuit races will feature two separate mass starts consisting of several race boats from the class entries. Teams will start at Hells Gate State Park and race upstream on the right side of the river. Teams will then turn left around Three Mile Island and return downstream past Hells Gate State Park to the next turn at a buoy ball marker before the Southway Bridge and continue this circuit for a total of three laps. The checkered finish flag will be at Hells Gate State Park.
