And here is your guide to watching the 2018 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout: on land, on water, in your living room or in the palm of your hand.
1. By Water
If you love boating, this is the way to see the Shootout. The sights, the sounds, and the sunshine! Racing happens at the 33 MM. Get there early and tie up to the flotilla to make some new friends and enjoy a day on the water as you watch the action. NOTE: Be aware of new changes to the No Wake Zone this year.Â
2. By Land
If you are lucky enough to have a friend or family member who owns a place on the southern shoreline of the 33 or 34 MM, you can camp out there and get a great view of the racing.
But for those of us who don't have friends or family in such a convenient spot, there's another way to see the race by land...
3. Captain Ron's Bar & Grill
Captain Ron's is the hub of the Shootout, so you can catch all the action from here. Watch Shootout racing on the Jumbotron or on multiple screens around the complex. In between drinks and meals walk to the docks and mingle with the racers, check out the boats, and explore everything on display at the Vendor Village & Racer Village.Â
