Some links to teams' pages, pretty interesting:

Well Sharkey, now that the UAE deal might be done.......that is where all those boats are racing. Pretty cool sound, a bit like F-1 cars.

It sure did!

And yes, I had removed the Fountain link yesterday because it was dead.

All those others I already had on my site.

Thanks though! :drink:

That white boat is the Chris Parsonage racing boat, Instigator, he took the round the island (Isle of Wight on the south coast of England) last summer and met him at the RYA awards recently, he's a really nice guy and loves the racing.

We have a race local to us in Plymouth (SW England) and the start is a little noisy to say the least - the engines are V12 Lamborghinis, and I believe the boats are good for around 160mph with the right props. The class is called UIM Class 1, and they race in the UK, Dubai and Europe, the other popular class right now is P1, which is for open boats and smaller engines and budgets!

An inspiring video, thanks Sharkey! Love the audio.

..international event indeed... we should probly organize our own back yard first. I'm guess the decision makers in that group just shake their heads when they look over the pond at us. :rolleyes:

If I recall Augie, didn't some of them cross the pond to race in Atlantic City for the World Championships?

I wonder what it would take to get them back here for a week of racing for a true International event?

Nice to see two Arab states that seriously have their act largely together... Qatar and Bahrain.

Yeah, you could do some great comic marketing themes on that. As long as everyone knew all the trash talkiing was in fun, it would be a hoot.

BAGDAD BOB VS The MOB, err Jersey Boys...... who gets buried first?? <gg>

JC duct tape motors against flying carpet ride perf.......which tears first?

Lambo Bull V-12s against 1 800 RunsNew Attack Dogs, who brings first blood?
