It's best between the
bridges. The one-mile, oval race course between the Highway 58 local
and bypass bridges offers outstanding spectator viewing of the races from
the causeway of the local bridge. If you need to take a break from all the
excitement, downtown Clarksville is alive all weekend as the
Clarksville Lake
Country Chamber of Commerce hosts the Harvest Days Festival.
Arts and Crafts, Food Vendors, and Entertainment line the streets of town,
where a variety of shops and restaurants offer more opportunities for the
whole family to enjoy your visit to Clarksville.
While Clarksville has a
long history with hydroplane racing, the town returned to the hydroplane
circuit in 2004 and has quickly become a racer favorite. It's the local
hospitality that makes this event so successful, with volunteers and
businesses pulling together to make the Clarksville Hydroplane Challenge
enjoyable for the racing teams, officials and spectators.

Thanks to all the racers, crews, officials, spectators,
sponsors, safety crews and volunteers, the 2008 race weekend was full of
high-speed racing excitement. We were blessed once again with ideal
race weather, beautiful water and safe races. Each race seemed to come
right down to the wire...an exciting finish every time. Check out the results from the weekend, and plan to come
back next year.

Education
Programs are central to our mission. The Clarksville
Economic Development Corporation is committed not only to sponsoring
hydroplane racing, but also to developing the industry. In 2007 CEDA
began offering educational programs that provide opportunities for our youth
to learn about the maritime industry and experience the thrill of racing.
Clarksville area students and adult volunteers completed five J-boats in
April 2008 which they are racing in four regional races this year.
Additionally a Sea Perch Underwater ROV Program is currently in
development.
