When I raced it was before capsules, I was waiting on the ropes when I believe Eddie Hill made a pass. He popped a blower and the boat turned sideways throwing Eddie out the high side just before the finish line. It clocked him at 170 mph as he crossed the finish line on his back.
The boat never crossed the line. Thats back when we wore chutes on our lifelines to slow us down.

I raced offshore but I'd never get into one of those.

We used to race drag boats as well. I remember when Eddie Hill went 229 on only 7 cylinders.
It was crazy back in the day with no capsule boats. 1984 was a very bad year
