GRAND PRIX POWER BOAT RACES DRAW A LARGE CROWD NEAR THE CHICKAMAUGA DAM

 A large number of spectators came out to watch the high speed power boats qualify and race on Friday, Saturday and Sunday on the Tennessee River. Power boat racers traveled in from all over the country to show off their talents over the weekend. Next stop is Key West for another race next weekend. Adults and children were in awe at the awesome power of the high speed racers. Most of the spectators did not even seem concerned at who would win, but more concern with the fact of just having a chance to see a live glimpse of the amazing speeds.
