      From a driving standpoint, these are extremely impressive but from the spectator standpoint the dragsters draw more of a crowd. You get more of an effect with the dragsters vs the boats

      Let me tell you WHY you need so much help to keep it going: That's because it's not interesting to watch. Simple as that. I'm a petrolhead, love mechanics and love going fast, but this is about as exciting as watching paint dry. I mean the first time (maybe two) you watch it, you are impressed. It's like watching Danny D fuck Lana Rhoades... for 2 seconds. I mean sure the man has a big dick, but it's not really exciting.

    I remember watching these guys in the early 80’s when Rick Hendrik was a boat owner, and Eddie Hill was a driver. A lot of guys driving smaller blown river boats just sat in the open air. They were really nutz back then. They also had a flying start back then too.

    It’s great to see these things still hummin. Jim, Brien and I finished the plug in the early 2000’s. We were nearly laughed out of the races at Red Bluff with the non-standard outrigger style, but look at the Bullet hull now. It’s through the continued effort of all the folks, both current and prior that have continued to advance this sport to do things that I think are equally impressive as the achievements of NHRA and F1. I’m honored to have played a part in this and in awe of the successes you all have achieved! Thank you all for your contributions to continue to change to perspective of what’s possible and keep new ink in the history book! Well done!

    I was there at firebird lake when they ran that 273mph pass. Top fuel hydro is the most insane motorsport racing. To go 0-275 mph in 3 seconds on water is something else. It really sucks this is the last season at this famous man made lake as they are removing the dragstrip and lake to build a shopping mall...

    *_There is only one thing crazier than a Top Fuel Drag Car... Top Fuel Drag Boat._*
    I have been on water in excess of 100 and that was plenty exciting. Can't imagine what close to 300 must be like on the water. Those boats don't just go fast, they accelerate at mind numbing G's for entire run. So many things can go wrong and when they do, boats are obliterated. Even with the breakaway safety capsule, the forces exerted on body can kill.

    I can see where twin, counter rotating shafts would start to get very important. Countering the sideways movement of a steep pitched prop plus devide the twisting force of so much power by two would save some breakage. Ive been over 100 many times.

    Way back in the late 70s I was watching Boat races on TV, "Hydroplanes" i believe they called them. Well im sure those boats were nothing compared to these, but one of them bounced up, and its prop came out of the water for one second. It stalled, and a few minutes later they had it towed up to a dock. They opened the engine compartment, and the whole thing had melted into a "modern art masterpiece!"

    • @foobar201
      @foobar201 Před rokem +3

      Unlimited hydroplanes are still around, but they're a different beast. The hydroplanes are built light with turbine engines from helicopters and they go on a round course, so they're at top speed for much longer than these drag boats. Unfortunately the hydroplanes are rather accident prone and expensive to run so they rarely get more than 4 on the water at a time these days.
