The National Jet Boat Association runs it's races at Lake Ming, in Bakersfield, California. Qualifying runs take place on Saturday morning and continue through the afternoon. Elimination rounds and finals are run on Sundays. You can hear the engines beginning to be fired/warmed up at 8am on both days!
If you have never been to Boat Drags, you are definitely in for a treat. Unlike our automotive counterparts the entire Pit Area is open for access by everyone. Feel free to come up and talk with your favorite racers and teams.
Admission: Saturday = $12.00, Sunday = $15.00, Two Day Pass = $20.00 (Children under 12 FREE)

When you are at the races, look for the Du Ya trailer to pick up some Custom T-Shirts and get yourself a Tri-tip Sandwich - home made by Janet Best, Co-owner of Du Ya. Also, look for Steve Best and his #808 Speed Boat out on the lake!
