Super Cat Fest Adding Video Wall For Shootout TV Broadcast

Attendees of Super Cat Fest who opt out of joining the impressive spectator fleet at the Lake of the Ozarks Shootout Aug. 26-27 in Central Missouri will have a big-screen viewing option on Saturday and Sunday at the Camden On The Lake Resort, the host venue for the annual celebration of high-performance catamarans. With support from noted performance-boating community members John Woodruff and Win Farnsworth, Super Cat Fest producer Alvin Heathman has arranged for a 12-by-8-foot “video wall” to be set up in the resort’s pool area.

The large-format screen display will carry the live television broadcast from the two-day top-speed contest on the three-quarters-of-a-mile course.

“The video wall will bring a little something to the event for Super Cat Fest participants and spectators who might want to have a ‘Shootout’ pool party,” said Heathman. “A lot of people have watched the Shootout from the resort in years past. We’re just giving them a bigger viewing option. We’re going to go through a trial run with it sometime next week.”

Saturday’s television broadcast will begin before the competition, which runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. (Saturday’s practice session runs from 9 a.m. to noon.) Sunday’s competition is set to start a 9 a.m. and finish at 4 p.m. and will be followed by the traditional Shootout awards ceremony.
