Noooo problem. You can drive that with your eyes closed. What could happen in just that short 8 second run? Point it straight, hit it! :)

Yeah Top Fuel Drag boat racing is pretty nuts, Eddie Hill (the Texan) raced both the dragster (top fuel) and top fuel drag boat, and I may be mistaken but I thought he felt safer in the top fuel dragster than the hydro (dragboat), and he was very, very good at both.

I do not have the requisite experience, desire, or large enough testcicles to drive a top fuel hydro, that is one serious ride.

Eddie Hill pictured below, he was one of my favorite racers.

Eddie quit TF Boat racing to got to TF cars, said the boats were to dangerous. I remember seeing them interview him once when he said that.

And they have gotten much faster now!!!!

I thought so, thank you for commenting. Here are a couple pictures of Eddie Hill below.

That boat Problem Child (from the first post) is one bad boat!

I did not know Eddie had his roots in TF hydro...

Ahhhhh, NO!

Wolrd champion and record setter.


"Eddie's last boat race - 10/28/84 - Firebird Lake, Phoenix, Arizona; crashed at the end of the run at 217 mph - destroyed boat - Eddie broke 7 bones but clinched World Series of Drag Boat Racing"
