It’s time for Thunder on the Gulf! The Gulf Coast Powerboat Association brings “NASCAR on water” to Orange Beach, AL, August 16-19.
This event is your chance to see some of the fastest powerboats in the world compete on the liquid race course of the Gulf of Mexico. Powerboat racing is growing rapidly in popularity, attracting people from all over the world. Thunder is best viewed from one of the many Gulf-front condos and house balconies, but you can also get the feeling of the race from the beach as well. Don’t miss out on this display of pure horsepower.

If you want exitement and love the roar of an engine, this is the thing to do. The weather is great this time of year and the boat races are just a plus! I have watched the races the last 3 years and they are better everyyear. It is just like the ad says “NASCAR on the water”

My family stays with Kaiser Realty twice a year. We come for the Boat Races and for the Shrimp Festival. The races are an adrenaline rush just to watch. We rent a place on the course, so we stay on our balcony and watch them with no problems. We came most recently for the Shrimp Festival in Gulf Shores and had a blast again this year. My son came with us this time, it was his first time. We had a blast. We even found the CD’s for The Little Zoo that Could. We have wanted to buy them since they started airing it. As usual we had a wonderful time.
