offer race fans some of the most exciting racing

This form of racing started in the 1960s. The

years have created todays fast tunnel hull boats.

300+ horsepower motor and races at speeds in excess
of 125 mph. The boats turn on a dime. They can
change direction 90 degrees with drivers pulling
over 5 Gs of force over a 1 1/4 mile course. Drivers
from Minnesota, Wisconsin and all over the country
compete in the eight race P.R.O.P. Tour series
which begins in Laughlin, NV in June and concludes
at Cypress Gardens, FL in October.
Each stop on the P.R.O.P. Tour will be televised
in prime time on ESPN 2 allowing the races to
be seen in over 71 million households across the
US and in 77 countries.

in all types of racing. The company currently
sponsors the AMSOIL/Dr. Martens/Journeys/Factory
