I've fallen off a water ski at about 55 mph and kinda looked like this dude too - right before the mega-faceplant. Man that **** hurts.

Must have been a tune up for the boats since the orange boat has the ejectable pod and the other is an open cockpit, still though that is crazy!

They're both outboards. I'm pretty sure boats with different cockpits can race in the same class as long as the engine/hp is similar.

I remember being pulled behind speed boats on rafts and such and when I'd fall off I was like a stone skipping across the surface. That **** hurts like a son of a bitch the next morning.

IHBA rules dictate the Top Hydro class not use trolling motors, clearly this is where this dude failed.:D

If you EVER are where the Miss Budweiser boat is on display at a lake, and they are giving rides....DO IT! Dude had the thing HALF opened up and I though my ****ing hide was going to peel off!

I used to work at the drag boat races on Firebird Lake in Phoenix when they first opened up. Actually saw a couple boys bite the dust out there. Drag boat racing is seriously ****ed up. When you get into the alcohol/nitro class all bets are off. When a boat can turn a 1/4 mile as fast as the fastest car - but only hits about 220 or so doing it you know them puppies are hooking up. G-forces out of this world. Plus, anything over about 120 or so on the water is madness. I've gone 100 mph on the water and I damn near **** myself. My boat will hit about 70-75 and people usually damn near **** themselves riding with me.

I hear ya and then some, dad had a Champion that had a 225 Mercury and he had that mother opened up...lets just say if a lump of coal were stuck up my *** then after I got out of that boat you would have had a diamond. :D

I seriously don't have any idea how fast we went, his speedo was not working but a guy in one of those stupid *** cigarette boats was out and passed us like we were sitting still. That was one of those 3 engine jobs....yeah on Grand Lake, what a dumbass!

Do lake hookers use john boats?

Yup. I'm seriously shocked more dumbasses don't buy the farm on the lake. You've got boats that can hit 100, jet skis that can hit 80+, and copious amounts of alcohol. We're pretty lucky we don't see a hunnert or more killed every year on the lakes.

Although that would look pretty ghey.:D

I can't imbed but watch the video from the link I supplied, yer boat is a wee bit larger than what the guy uses in the video and that same technique is used down at Keystone east of Tulsa. Pretty fun to watch the guys use them and hang one of them big *** fish on.

It's pretty funny the lengths a fisherman will go to just to get into a good area. :)

Moral is, "Don't race Jesus in a boat, even if he crashes, he'll just get out and run."

i knew a guy (met him in Norman & OU games) who ran a "top alcohol" boat.

told me he & Eddie Hill were the only 2 guys (@ that time) to win back-to-b
back championships. (I know, Hill was "top-fuel".)

he's deceased, & i cannot remember his last name. lived in country near purcell. he showed me the boat, had a big ole "kieth Black" engine,but he'd already retired from racing & later sold it.

never been to boat drags, but i know Eddi Hill said it was too dangerous, & went back to "top fuel" cars.

Yeah and coming from Eddie that is saying alot since he's raced about everything there is to race 'cept horses or planes.
Just watching those old videos of Eddie brings back memories, him and his wife were about as nice a couple you would ever want to meet and boy can he tell stories!
