St. Louis Grand Prix Powerboat Races are revving up For the
37th Annual Event

St.
Louis, MO (January 9, 2008) —The St. Louis Grand Prix Powerboat Races,
presented by BUD LIGHT, have finalized the date for 2008. The races will be held
on August 2nd and 3rd, 2008, at Creve Coeur Lake.
BUD LIGHT will not only be the title sponsor, they have renewed their
sponsorship of Seebold Racing and driver Tim Seebold for the 27th year. Mercury
Marine will be supporting the event as well.
This will be the 37th year that the Concord Village Lions Club has organized
the event, and the Professional Firefighters of Eastern Missouri, Local 2665,
will be assisting them again in 2008.
Concord Village Lions Member, and Missouri Sports Hall of Fame and
Motorsports Hall of Fame of America member, Bill Seebold is the Chairman of the
event.
“I brought the idea of running a boat race as a fundraiser to the members of
the Concord Village Lions Club almost 40 years ago. We have raised well over
$2,000,000 because of the St. Louis race, all for local charities. Our Lions
members have put in an amazing amount of effort over the years, and I am very
excited about the 2008 event” said Bill Seebold.
Ken Meadows, Business Manager for IAFF Local 2665 added, “ We enjoyed the
opportunity to help with the St. Louis Grand Prix, many of our members came out
over the weekend last summer to help with concessions, first aid, and race
safety. The comments were all positive, and we our ready to help in 2008. We
will have several pieces of equipment on display, including a fire safety
demonstration for the kids.”
The 37th annual St. Louis Grand Prix Powerboat Races will feature drivers
from all over the USA, and internationally. Classes participating will be the
CHAMP Boats, also known as F1CHAMP, the CHAMP2 or SST 120’s, and the CHAMP3 or
