2026 Lake of the Ozarks Shootout: Results

Offshore raceboats gathered at Lake of the Ozarks in central Missouri on June 13-14 for the fourth round of the IHRA Offshore National Championship, known as Shootout Offshore. The event, held near Bagnell Dam, drew 61 entries across eight classes and produced two serious accidents, both without lasting injury to the crews involved.

Pro Class 1

Five Pro Class 1 teams arrived at the lake but only three finished the competition. On Saturday, during the first lap of Race 1, DMR Performance (Bill Pyburn and Brit Lilly) and Outta Pocket/XINSURANCE (Kevin Birrell and Billy Moore) were running side by side when both boats suddenly took air. Pyburn and Lilly were launched and came down hard in their 45-foot Victory catamaran. The safety capsule held; both were out of the boat and confirmed unhurt quickly, though the boat sustained significant damage. Tyler Miller and Myrick Coil in Monster Energy/M-CON had qualified first and were leading at the time. Saturday’s Race 1 was not completed.

On Sunday morning the remaining four teams returned for a re-run of Race 1. Miller and Coil dominated, with Birrell and Moore second in Outta Pocket/XINSURANCE, Billy Mauff and Jay Muller third in WHM Motorsports and Adam Carpenter and Reese Langheim fourth in Discrete Offshore Racing, who appeared to suffer a mechanical issue.

Race 2 followed later that afternoon. Monster Energy/M-CON won again; WHM Motorsports were second. Discrete Offshore Racing claimed third for their first podium of the season. Outta Pocket/XINSURANCE finished fourth after throwing a blade on the port-side propeller.

Super Cat

Bill Pyburn and Brit Lilly, having walked away from Saturday’s Pro Class 1 accident, returned on Sunday in their Dirty Money Racing Super Cat. Having qualified first on Saturday, Pyburn and Lilly won comfortably over ten laps. Casey Boaz and Rob Unnerstall finished second in CR Racing; Kelly Kraiss and Ron Gibbs were third in EWB Racing; Chris Grant and Jay Muller fourth in Graydel/CJ Grant Racing.

Super Stock

Super Stock attracted 16 starters, the biggest field of the weekend. Points leader Team Bermuda (David Selley and Steven Bridges) grabbed an early lead, but Nuff Said/Hamilton Princess (Luis Martins and Nick Imprescia) had moved to the front by lap 2 and stayed there. Team Bermuda finished second; Team Allied (Shaun Torrente and Matt Jamniczky) were third.

Factory Stock

Six Factory Stock teams entered but only five finished. On the first lap, Hampton Langston and Ryan Beckley in HBS Motorsports ran across a wake, hooked and were launched inverted in their MTI catamaran. Both escaped through the hatch in the bottom of the boat and were confirmed unhurt.

After the restart, Tyler Miller and Myrick Coil led in the M-CON/Monster Energy/Hurt! App MTI for most of the race on their Factory Stock debut. A trim issue on the outboard engine in the closing laps allowed Mead Family Racing to pass, with Say Less MF also moving through. Race officials subsequently penalised both teams for buoy infringements, reinstating Monster Energy/M-CON as the winner. Lake Wiley Racing were second; Jackhammer third.

Extreme/Mod V/Super V

American Custom Marine (Michael Knoblock and Jeff McCann) ran uncontested in Extreme, winning the nine-lap combined race. In Super V, Knucklehead Racing (Edward Smith and Billy Glueck) fought a close battle with Twisted (Brian Klinec and Jax Muller); both teams had retired with mechanical issues at the previous round in Cocoa Beach. In Mod V, Steve and Stephen Kildahl in Boatfloater.com, the father-and-son hometown entry from Lake of the Ozarks, came back from missing Cocoa Beach through illness to take the class win. NMB RV Resort (Kirk Hanna and Mark Rinda) were second in class; Clouatre Cartel Racing (Dustin Clouatre and Owen Buis), winners of both New Orleans and Cocoa Beach, finished third.
