Searing speeds, daring drivers, and the world’s fastest boats will all be part of the Coors Light World Finals, IHBA Lucas Oil Drag Boat Racing, Thursday, Nov. 16 through Sunday, Nov. 19 at Firebird Lake, Phoenix.

Often described as "water rockets," these vessels will reach speeds of sometimes in excess of 250 miles per hour as they literally fly across the lake.

This season-ending race will feature Top Fuel Hydros, Top Alcohol Hydros, Pro Modifieds, Pro Gas Flats, among others.

The liquid quarter-mile will be on fire, as drivers hope to be crowned champion for the season.

Tickets include a pit pass, and lakeside RV parking is available.
