The collaboration between Cigarette Racing and Big Thunder Marine has announced their first joint venture in hosting an event: the Cigarette Rendezvous 2024.

The extension of Big Thunder Marine as the official Cigarette authorized dealership for the Lake of the Ozarks, MO area that began in 2022, is operating under the name Cigarette Lake of the Ozarks, powered by Big Thunder Marine, is inviting Cigarette Racing owners to the lake June 13-15, 2024, with the main run happening on June 14.
