The rodeo races are races against the clock, with racers competing for the fastest time to complete 3 laps of the figure “8” or “M” courses.

 The boats are classed according to their size of the engine/engines, nitro engines are class “A” “B” and “C” gasoline engine classes are “G1” “G2” and “G3”.
