Drag boats Tailand style
 

Too funny. I would not want to get hit by either end of one of those ! Not sure what the outcome is when they dump one of those things over. :eek: Not pretty I'm sure. Wonder if they got the beak idea from Reggie ?
Thanks for posting. :)

That's some crazy chit!!!! Good for them!!!

The one armed guy in the pit is testimony to the danger,now Thai woman more of a thrill any day.

holy wow! now THAT is a two stroke! sounds like a drag banshee on the water...

F*ck a bucket of that!

Too funny! Never seen an Arneson hooked up to a jetski motor before! :lolhit:

Is that what you call grassroots racing?

Just goes to show- it doesn't mater what you have-

If you get 2 of them side by side it turns into a race.

Brings a whole new meaning t the term "porpoising".

Looks like a good time.

Totally Want One!!!

They kind of remind me a of a 27' Fountain though. :D

stepped hulls, too!!!

I bet he's the fastest!

sick!

I know where one could be had for 3 Goats, 2 Hens, and a Bicycle.

:lolhit:

Throw in your first born daughter and they will throw in a motor by Ping Maui Marine............... (the one arm guy..... he knows his $hit!)


Maybe Reggie got the idea from these guys!

Just wait until one of them doesn't like the rules, and he and his buddies go off and form another sanctioning body....it all heads south from there.

Before you know it, there will be 8 of those boats in 13 different classes at the races.

:party-smiley-004:

I can def see one painted green with a caveman on the side and Scotty crouched down in it

They all picked up 10 mph when they went to the arneson versus the old straight long shaft weed-eater drives:lolhit:

Who knew the teacher from Charlie Brown cartoons announced drag boats ??

Heres some more

LMFAO!!!!

What happens if you hit a lilly pad at that speed?

I am pretty sure I saw 007 go screaming by in one of those things.

robly some VERY pissed off frogs

I love it, the open class ones with the big pipes sound badass.:drink:

As you can clearly see, safety is a top priority for racers, pit crew members, propshaft holders and fans alike. Notice the (apparently inflatable) Lifethong vests the drivers wear.
:evilb:

Somewhere, someplace, a California windsurfer is saying, "Dude, this little Thai guy just totally stole my board, but left my sail. And he smelled like Castor Oil."

And finally, things in Thailand aren't all that much different than over here. As I always say, "Outboards only smell bad when they're in front of you. Which is of course where they always are!"

I am just totally impressed that Rik at Arneson has apparantly broken into the asian market. Is that the new ASD 0.5?

:lolhit:

That is some funny chit Eddie. It's not hard to see where surface drives got their inspiration:drink:

Following a 2 cycle burning castor oil will get my blood flowing, guaranteed.

The best thing is, at the end of the day you could make a helluva margarita with one of those too.:drink:

This video is from Samut Songhram, hometown of my friend the pilot. She just came back into Vegas after a month back home in Thailand. Had dinner with her tonight and showed her the video. Right near her house there!

Thai women are some of the hottest ...
