_________________________________________________
Lewisville,
TX: The Pro Watercross Tour’s “Liberty
Cup” event scheduled for July 17-19 at Lewisville Lake in Lewisville, Texas has
been cancelled due to historically-high water levels.
Unprecedented
rainfall in May led to the lake swelling to a historic high of 537.02 feet.
According to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, it may take a couple of months
for the water level to fall to normal. The lake is closed to boaters in order
to survey damage and ensure lake safety before allowing boaters back in the
water.
Pro
Watercross Tour was to make its first visit to North Texas for the event. The
annual tour visits lakes and beaches across the country each summer. It is the
featured national tour for personal watercraft racing, combining the finest
professional and amateur athletes in the United States and internationally for
extreme racing on challenging closed courses. Tour events draw thousands of
spectators on site, plus millions more for television and online video
broadcasts.
