Smokin' The Sound, a true world-class spectacle is here again!
Come see the biggest, loudest and fastest race boats converge on
Gulfport Lake and the Mississippi Sound!
This exciting extended-weekend event boasts spectacular parties, great
local entertainment, not to mention the best in offshore racing with over
30 boats in 10 categories. Smokin' The Lake will feature over 60 boats
racing in 7 categories.
Smokin' The Sound is the 1st race of the year for the Offshore Super
Series Powerboat Racing Association. Speed, colorful race boats, passing,
come-from-behind victories and an airshow of helicopters that hover as
close as 25 feet from the boats will be the norm. OSS CAT boats will
clock in at 150 mph down the straight-a-way. The other boat categories
will run at over 100 mph down the straight-a-way.
This year Smokin' The Sound will feature Pro-Am racing on Saturday.
Come see local boaters test their metal on the race course. For local
boaters wanting to participate in the Pro-Am race, go to
