Cool, these boats aren't very large, about 16' long---. ;)

Just room for a driver, mechanic and a Chevy V-8---. :D

Pictures dont do the boats justice, the sound of those motors and open headers is awesome. I am lucky to have these boats race just ten minutes from my home.

I'll bet!!! there is nothing like the sound of a V8 set up for racing!

Nice pictures! Looks like fun!

They don't look like dry boats! I wonder how long the expensive parts last! :eek:

Then again, we are talking about racing- where nothing lasts long anyway! :cool:

Very wet, especialy when they flip, saw a couple upside down.

Hee hee, the speed shops must love those guys! ;)

This is a great shot!

I can't believe these guys are oval racing drag boats! :eek:
