Holy. Freaking. Crap.



That is all

I love sprint boats!!!! Those guys are absolutely nuts!!

I know people wonder how we read a course, but at lease we have pointer cones and such, but how do they read those courses?? There is no direction markers anywhere!!

They have navigators riding along with them, talking them through it.

I bet the directions sound like an auctioneer calling out the route

Boatocross...

Notice how after the start it never appears to accelerate. He got to a straight and I'm thinking... now we'll see this puppy fly. But the speed just stayed constant down the straight. He did the whole run at darn near top speed. Interesting.

Looks like fun! Just think, you don't have to buy tires!

One thing that is completely different is that in order to turn those things you HAVE to be under power... they won't turn at all unless you are...

awesome, just awesome...

Speed used to carry this series when they actually cared about racing. It's the Australian V8Superboat Series. Here is some more videos. http://www.v8superboats.com.au/index.php?action=video

It's like that old Nintendo game Cobra Triangle.
