American Ethanol Makes It Three In A Row At Lake Of The Ozarks Top Gun Shootout
Don Onken and Team American Ethanol achieved yet another milestone over the weekend, setting the top speed record on the "Captain Ron's Course" at the 2017 Lake Of The Ozarks Top Gun Shootout. The event course had been shortened to 3/4 mile from the previous year's 1 mile course, opening up the field of competitors to "reset" the class records all over again. Would the 200mph barrier be possible to break with this new, shorter course?
Yes. Yes it was possible, and Team American Ethanol were there to prove it. Don Onken's American Ethanol 51-foot Mystic Powerboats Catamaran is powered by 4 Keith Eikert Engines, each with their own Vortech V-30 123A Supercharger. The combination produces over 7,000 horsepower, and was able to propel throttleman John Cosker and driver Tony Battiato to not only take the win, but to reset the record at an astonishing 204 mph!
Congratulations to Don Onken and Team American Ethanol on their Three-Peat Victory!
