About Biloxi

The P1 SuperStock USA Championship is set to bring powerboat racing back to St. Cloud for the first time in three years at the 2012 "Spring Fling" presented by the Rotary Club of St. Cloud on March 30th-April 1st.

St. Cloud is the first stop for the 2012 P1 SuperStock USA tour and powerboat racings biggest stars will look to start their season in style as they race the waters of East Lake Tohopekaliga (East Lake Toho) on a 1.75 mile course.

St. Cloud was traditionally the season opener for offshore powerboat racing for many years beginning in 1983 when teams would race East Lake Toho as an exhibition race.

"Spring Fling" is an annual fundraising event hosted by the Rotary Club of St. Cloud. Activities off the water include field games, arts and crafts, live entertainment, food and beverage vendors and for the first time ever, a "Poker Night." General admission into the event is free or an arm band can be purchased for access into the wet pits where the boats will be on display.

"We are excited to bring powerboat racing back to Spring Fling," said Michael Long, President of the Rotary Club of St. Cloud. "People always ask about the boats and fans will get to enjoy a great show put on by the P1 SuperStock USA series."
