We have been following and sharing the accomplishments of Don Onkens, Onkens Racing, and Team American Ethanol for a few years now as they continually set and re-set the records for fastest piston powered offshore racing boat in the world over and over again for the last 5+ years. Last year at the Lake Of The Ozarks Top Gun Challenge, American Ethanol took the title for a 3rd year in a row with a stunning 204 mph run on the new ¾ mile Captain Ron’s course.

This year, Onkens and crew have turned up the wick even further in preparation to once again smash their own existing records. Upgrading to Vortech V-30 128A Superchargers on his quad-engined, quad-supercharged Mystic Catamaran, the new setup makes over 8,000 horsepower!

Get set for intense, high speed action on the water when the 30th Annual Lake Of The Ozarks Top Gun Shootout takes place August 18th-26th in Missouri.
