Yes, and NASCAR does not race over a muddy field with 5 inches of
water in a ditch.

Any resemblance to real boating is purely coincidental.




If there is a form of auto racing more boring than NASCAR, I haven't found
it. I went to two races at Daytona when we lived in Florida, and just
couldn't get into them.

Poof.

Yes, that is a little easier to relate to.

Some other neat videos also.
Yeah - pretty neat, but can they cross the finish line upside down
sideways on fire?

I think not. :)

Do they refill the racetrack every once in a while? Seem like the
boats throw a lot of water off the course.
Yes, they can cross the finish line upside down and on fire.
Not sideways?

I WIN!! NASCAR RULES!!

How can they be on fire if they are full of water?

Just like those sinking ships in the WW2 movies. A little gas floating on
the water.

That means the water is on fire.

I WIN!! NASCAR RULES!!

Big engine, lots of HP and shallow water and white water. Not no poofy
smooth racetrack with carb plate restricted motors.

I'm impressed.

Whoopee.

Call me when they hit 180 mph. :)

I used to do 160 mph in my B-prod SCCA Vette. Did not seem anyshere as fast
as 90 mph on water.

I hit 135 in my GTX at Talledega. Now that was a ride.

Although I agree with you - for some reason 50 mph on water feels like
100 on land.

Darn right, and the smaller the boat and the rougher the water, the
faster it feels.

During the week I took the RIB dinghy with the new Honda 20 out for a
spin on the river. It starts to get very light and squirrely on the
wave tops around 20 kts and you'd think you were doing at least 100.
Today I was out in the 27 ft Searay with much more chop and it was a
walk in the park.
