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.
