Each year Thunder on the Wabash features several current national champions demonstrating their expertise when the engines roar and the roostertails shoot high in the air as the boats rocket down the Wabash. 199 S 100-mph Super E Hydro Class included 1998 American Power Boat Association Formula E National Champion Terry Witham of Indianapolis dueling against the 1999 AOP Short Course National Champion Eric Vanover of Cincinnati. Both of these men, typical of the caliber of competitors, own many national championships and world records. There is also competition in number of other modified classes with boats capable of tremendous speeds. Racing starts at noon on Saturday and Sunday.
Admission is free and concessions are available.
Recently completed improvements and renovations to Kimmell Park make it an ideal setting to enjoy a couple of days of world-class racing. Thunder on the Wabash is an event unlike any other offered in the region each year and never fails to please the crowd of banks of the Wabash.
