Powerful high-speed boats will race across the Lake Michigan coastline here for the 12th annual Great Lakes Grand Prix this weekend.
They include the likes of a Class One division team, Miss GEICO, with a 47-foot catamaran weighing 1,750 pounds and with twin 1,100 horsepower engines that will be in the last race of the day Sunday.
Some race teams will begin arriving on Thursday and more on Friday afternoon. AquaX races and powerboat testing will run from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. CDT Saturday, with all classes of racing the same hours on Sunday. The race village will be open to the public Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Washington Park. A free shuttle will run from Ames Field, 2501 Franklin St.
