When I was young I was taught to respect the bike that you throw a leg over, because it can kill you. So I have always had that mentality, I would never street race or anything like that. So hp and speed was always respected. I owned a streetbike for 2 weeks thought I would kill myself. So with a boat with the HP #s that are claimed and running wide open and hitting a wake the wrong way. I have no experience in this boating world that is why I was asking the Question. It might not be anything and just me. As far as the NHRA I was very lucky to work in the machine shop and learn from one of the best guys. Attention to detail because your work is the hands of a driver who puts his life on the line.
