I ran STVs , Allys and Hydrostreams for years too. Only had a couple crashes and they weren't that severe (other than the damage to the boats). But, after witnessing many crashes like this, I figured it was time to move on to another hobby.

Another horrendous crash photo.

I used to race these small 18-20' drag boats but too many of my friends were getting hurt. I know Joe as well and he is a true hard core racer. Get well Joe and when you are feeling better this picture will be a keeper.

I saw this video on Fox News this morning. It brought back memories as we used to drag race outboards as well. We used to spend a lot of money on Merc 2.5 powerheads, they don't live too long at 10,500 rpm's. But, we did win Stock Eliminator in Augusta, GA in our 20' Allison one year and set a speed record of 110.766 in Adel, GA in our 18' Quarter Master tunnel boat in the ODBA Modified Production class.

Hmm,
I don't know what kind of tunnel that is, but it looks good even upside down. Looks like a modified Mirage 18' RR.
I hope he's OK.
I used to run the drags too. Great sport, but expensive and dangerous. I've lost 2 friends since I quit :(...........
Regards,
Steve
