LAKEPORT >> Lakeport Speedway fans were treated to a fair share of excitement and a particular brand of mayhem that only the boat races can deliver on Saturday night at the Lake County Fairgrounds in Lakeport.
Limited Modifieds, Jammers, the Taco Bell Bombers and the T&T Towing Jalopies joined the boat races on the night’s racing card.
“Fans just kept coming through the gates all night long,” Lakeport Speedway promoter David Furia said. “It was exciting for our drivers to see the stands full of racing fans.”
One of the fan favorites along with the boat races are the T&T Towing Jalopies, according to Furia.
