Heard them say Bill had to hold some rudder towards the end and that slowed them down a little. You could see some steering corrections being made just before the finish line.. Still, very impressive run!! Congrats to the My Way team!!

Only way that boat could get any faster is ditch the props, point those turbines out the back, and light off some AFTERBURNERS...

Isnt the prop driven water speed world record like 220 or something like that? The one that Phenom was going after set by Villwock in an Unlimited? This should have no prob besting that.

Why do 261 mph drag boats get lost in all these conversations ??

In years past there was always chatter of the boat onboard GPS vs. radar gun readings. Seems that My Way mentioned they had a reading of 223 mph on their GPS in 2011 and the radar had them at 209 mph.
Was there chatter around the docks on how accurate the gun was this year? Did anyone hear rumbling of GPS numbers from onboard compared to the radar? I spent the day boating from the 35 to the 55 and it was hoot to have a few come blasting past us burning off fuel throughout the day. The Scream Machine was just a wicked noise going past me.
