Default a BIG thanks to RichieRich and F-14 Pilot!!!

i just wanted to give a BIG THANKS to richie and steve for offering a couple unused tickets for todays nitro boat drags.... we had a really good time there thanks guys!!!

was a long friggin day but well worth the show and the company!!

on to these water warriors.... Damn these guys are F'n nuts... some of them look like a motor and a dude on a surfboard better them than me i suppose, ill stick to the pavement there were a couple close calls and one dude actually got tossed out of his boat all of which i didnt catch on camera

anyway, thanks again Rich and Steve...

heres some of the pics i took....

boats in the pits before they raced, i still dont know how these things float....











time for a motor swap on the "MEENZ06"

Default racing nut jobs pics....

these guys are nuts!!! check out some of these, like i said they look like a motor and a dude on a surfboard....

outboard dude is pretty fast...
























this dude wiped out a bouy on the circle track class they ran, he had it stuck to the back of his boat...



hes the last few, its all i got of the nitro boats.... might be cause they only had maybe 4 or 5 runs down the quarter all day, and im talkin between all of them combined

Back in the day, my uncle used to sponsor a boat like those. We'd always go out to Lake Comanche to watch.

Those guys are nuts. Some of them even have parachutes to slow them down when they fly out of the boats.

So this is where you were at.

Man, look at that rooster tail! It goes on forever.

Looks like a blast to see, and can imagine, a blast to hear.

Very cool shots Vic.

Man, these bring back memories.. I remember the last time I was in canada like 8 years ago we went to a lake and went swimming. Well, there was bouys all over the place and we got kicked out... I was all upset cuz I wanted to friggin swim.. well, then I heard a loud azz motor fire up and I see the boat goin across the water like a bat out of hell.. They had hydroplane and nitro boat races all day. After I saw that, I wasn't so angry anymore.. Looks like a good time, I wanna go to the next one!!
