Springfield, OH - Initial track lay-out is complete, and we couldn't be more excited about this one-of-a-kind venue. It features 24 race-view camping spots and just over 100 tailgating spots situated along the southern part of the race course. The General Admission viewing area will be on a naturally sloped hill, and fans will be allowed to bring chairs and blankets to enjoy a weekend full of racing. "We're so excited about racing in Springfield. There is a long history of tunnel boat racing out of Springfield with Bill Chatfield and his history of championship teams. We can't wait to put on a show with fan views and a race course second to none," stated Chris Fairchild, Championship F1 Powerboat Racer for Mercury Racing.
The race course itself will be a 1+ mile track with four left-hand turns and two right-hand, hair-pin turns. It will be one of the most technical and exciting courses on the NGK F1 circuit www.ngkf1.com. Fans will be treated to great views of turns, starts, and side-by-side action as 20 boats will battle out in a 30-lap final on Sunday.
