BUD LIGHT Champ Boat Series Grand
Prix
August 2nd & 3rd, 2008, Creve Coeur
Lake
The Location
While many race sites claim to offer spectators a park-like setting,
the St. Louis Championship Grand Prix is, in fact, set in a park
where the sparkling waters of the spring-fed Creve Coeur Lake
reflect the endless blue skies covering the Missouri River valley.
The St. Louis Championship Grand Prix is held at
Creve Coeur Park in west St. Louis County. The park is located
near the region's population center within minutes of Interstates 70
and 270, restaurants, thousands of first-class hotel rooms and
Lambert St. Louis International Airport. The park sits on the scenic
plain formed over the ages
by the nearby Missouri River, affording
plenty of space for spectator accommodations and future growth.
A popular feature of the Creve Coeur Lake race site is its ample
waterfront, which curves around the main straight-away, last turn
and final short-chute of the race course. The beach places
spectators close enough to the action to hear the boats bounce off
one another in the tight turns. The beach also provides plenty of
prime viewing space, right at the water's edge, for guests in the
Corporate Village hospitality area.
The Corporate Village is separated from the general spectator area.
Invited guests are identified by wrist bands which provide them
entry to their hosts' tents, which line the front straight of the
race course and provide a spectacular view of the entire race
course.
Gourmet catering for the Corporate Village is provided by a food
preparation and delivery staff dedicated to hospitality customers.
