NHRA’s version of a weeklong campout, this event is a popular stop due
to the area’s recreational opportunities. Avid fishers often spend the
days before the event trolling the area’s many lakes for walleye, bass,
and northern pike, and a huge onsite campground provides nightly
camaraderie for race goers who sit around fires discussing the day’s
action. A 700-foot concrete launchpad, one of the longest on the tour,
helps boost performances as teams compete for positions in the final
two events in the important Countdown to 8 cutoff.
