Lake Race Feature: Defending World Champ Ready to Kickoff Season at LOTO

Excitement continues to build for the 2018 installment of Lake Race.  With a record number of boats expected to compete this year, the event continues to grow in popularity – not just with spectators, but with the racers as well. Local throttleman Mike Wright will be competing again this year.  He says the race has really become a source of community pride.

 

Wright’s the defending world champion in class 5 with the 517-WIA Marine Insurance Boat.  He says they haven’t made a final determination yet on which races they’ll compete in in 2018, but he knows where they’re starting.

 

Lake Race will take place on Saturday, June 2^nd.  We’ll have more feature stories on the event in the weeks leading up to the competition.
