The Victorian Speed Boat Club is hosting the annual Eppalock Gold Cup boat race this Saturday January 7.
The race meeting is a round of the Australian Power Boat Championship series and the Eppalock Cup itself is a Perpetual Trophy that dates back to 1958.
This high-octane event will feature some of the finest power boat racing in Australia.
It will feature many classes of racing boats, from 15 Hp Junior boats raced by kids through to 2000 HP monsters capable of speeds in excess of 270Kmh.
The GP Hydroplanes will be racing. They are the fastest, loudest, most exciting boats on the water. It’s loud, it’s spectacular, and it’s very, very exciting.
Other attractions on the day will be a Hot Rod car show, Vintage boat display and remote control model boat display.
Come Feel The Noise at the Victorian Speed Boat Club on the shores of Lake Eppalock, Speed Boat Road Derrinal.
The action starts from 9.30 am Saturday morning. This event allows families and friends to enjoy a fun day out of fast-charged racing action and exhibitions. Food and drink are available throughout the day, and kids under 10 are permitted free. Part proceeds will be donated to the Victorian Flood Appeal.
