The high-speed, action-packed main event, which has been hailed as one of the “must-see boating events in the country” by Boating Magazine, takes place at Captain Ron’s Bar and Grill in Sunrise Beach with powerboats racing individually to see who can log the fastest speed to be crowned the overall “Top Gun” for 2022.
