The 2019 powerboat races in Forest Lake, Minn., provided hours of entertainment for fans gathered on shore and in boats safely situated just beyond the racing course.

The different classes of boats raced across the water at speeds up to 135 mph. From the entry-level GT Pro to the adrenaline-inducing SST classes (Super Sport Tunnel), drivers provided an afternoon of high-speed competition to the delight of spectators.

The annual event is one of a handful of races in Minnesota and Wisconsin organized by the Twin Cities Powerboat Association.
