"Faster and Faster" Vintage Boat Racing Documentary and Top Speed Record Attempts 1930-1950

Absolutely awesome boat racing documentary from the 1950s covering top speed attempt from 1930-1950 somewhere. Many big names in here, Gar Woods, Miss America, Donald Campbell Miss England, Bluebird K4, K7, etc. There is a lot of carnage in this video, just a heads up.

It appears that these guys are fearless and the idea of building or rebuilding a boat is the last concern on their minds.

[@BB-bv6uq]

looked like really dangerous undertaking

A few years ago I met a dude who was an old racer and had super gnar scars down his back from a prop when another driver ran him over

Like Keystone Cops in boats. But it's real.

[@ADDvanced]

Pretty insane. Love it.

[@ct1762]

[@rossmcclure5618]
