Drag Boats on TV this Weekend - CBS

[Mike Rappold]

For those that are interested, drag boat racing will be on CBS this weekend (Saturday, 8/20) at 1:00pm EST. The race was taped a few weeks ago from Wheatland, MO. Lucas Oil owns the track and built a man-made lake dedicated to drag boat racing. This is the first race from the facility.

Look for our hot rod. I am a crew member on the Speed Sports / Lucas Oil Top Fuel Hydroplane driven by Jarrett Silvey.

Hope you can watch or record. There are a few more races later in the year that will be televised also.
